We all know that ended badly with all the languages being confused and mankind forming many separate tribes. People I guess,  were pretty upset at everyone being drowned. Yup that pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.

I've been following your discussion with Bob and want to join in. It's interesting to me how all the Christian religion melds perfectly with the acceptance of a monarchy having the inborn right to rule. There is no God and never has been. Your holy book was designed by people who absolutely believed that by birth, their kings or emperors were better than they were. No wonder Christianity's leaders have always sat right alongside or directly behind Kings, Queens and other creeps. Accordingly, people like you Teo must hate democracy.
Democracy is the antithesis of monarchical rule -- it starts with the concept that all men are free. Consider: the U.S.A. is a country of law or a theocracy -- it can't be both.

Actually, your argument, like that of the fundamentalist Christian county clerks in Kentucky, is that one's first loyalty must be to God not country. Which, of course, agrees with religious fundamentalists like Jews, Muslims, Catholics, etc. By stating your loyalty to God having precedence over the law of your land, you've made it clear you are an enemy of the United States of America which was theoretically built on a foundation of equality and law. Such a reality isn't the least surprising to an Atheist like me. I've always thought of religion -- any religion -- as my enemy.

Deep enough. God doesn't want kings in that sense wordslinger. Fact is it was the people that wanted a king and actually demanded a king. They chose Saul because he was tall and looked the part. God told the people that all a king would do would be to tax them and get them into wars for profit. Basically God said you got me why do you need a king ? So no, God never espoused Kings and queens. Nor did he recommend democracy. He recommended a republic where law protected all men weak and strong.

Well when I woke up this morning and looked in the bathroom mirror, a big tumor has grown overnight on the side of my head.
I hope it's not too late to take back what I said about that god fellow.
That sucker doesn't bluff.

I bet God is trying to decide whether to vote for Rand Paul or for Donald Trump.
Because the first sentence fits Paul to a "t". But the next sentence is like listening to Trump.

You know it really is a remarkable coincidence,  that whenever God talks,  his ideas are always the same old ideas that humans have come up with.

You would think that somebody who creates universes and all could occasionally muster up something a little out of the ordinary.  

As universe creators go,  God doesn't sound any different than a variety  of human kings, dictators, gadflies and all the rest down through history.
In fact,  many of his ideas resemble the current crop of low energy politicians.
And some of his ideas resemble those of the high energy ones too.

I think we may have it wrong about God creating US in HIS image.
Sounds more like WE may have created God in OUR image.

Here's an account of the profit Samuel warning what a king would mean to the people.


10Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. 11He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16Your male and female servants and the best of your cattlec and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves


Funny back then The ruler only took a tenth of the people's produce...makes you long for the good ole days...LOL.

Yes God sometimes seems quite human, whatever that is.

Not a problem.  I just called Benny Hinn to get healed.  He said he could do it if I make a donation (it seems faith healers operate a lot like medical doctors).

I told him I'd put my patio table and chairs and my new rock fountain up for sale on craigslist to raise the money.  Hell that crap won't do me any good anyway unless I can get Hinn to heal the tumor.  So I decided to sell the remainder of that 40 lb bag of birdseed I bought too.
That should make seaoat happy.

seaoat won't be happy until he's king. People have been healed by low lifes like Benny Hinn but it's their own faith doing it. Benny is just a focal point, a rather evil but effective one. The mind is a mystery but it does have great power over the body....that's how witches and voodoo works also.

Actually I can accept this. Because from everything I've learned about God, it makes perfect sense to me that he would want to associate himself with "evil lowlifes".

If we could get God involved with 9/11, now that would be a humdinger of a "teo and bob conversation". lol

Yeah.  My son was watching a conspiracy show on 9/11.  I told him not to waste his time and to tune in here and search for it from folks who place it in a whole new light.  Very Happy

Start the new thread and go for it!

Geez I must be getting senile.  Because obviously God WAS the key player in 9/11.  Hell,  God was the sucker who made em do it for christ sake.  
I tell you what,  that God fella is one bloodthirsty son of a gun.

And to add insult to injury, he told em he'd give em 72 virgins if they did it.
What kinda horseshit is that.  I don't want no inexperienced virgin.  I want a $250 hooker who knows HOW to do it.  God can keep those virgins for himself.

I think this can be filed in the category you mentioned earlier of how man makes God in man's image.

Very Happy

Y'all start a new thread on this God and Conspiracies with the God Factor. I'm working on school and writing. Need a quick place to go to for entertainment when I take a break! Razz

Man has created so many gods in his image by now,  that there's damn near more creators than there are create'ees.

High energy gods,  low energy gods,  conservative gods,  moderate gods,  you name it.
Let's put it this way,  if Fox News had hosted a debate of the gods instead of the politicians,  it would have taken the whole Superdome to find room for em all and the Astrodome on top of it to find room for the ones in the secondary debate. AND a barn to put the Hindi cows in it.

Look,  straight men have always been so under-appreciated.

Without a genius like Bud Abbot to set up his gags for him,  Lou Costello would have been just another slapstick fat caricature.
People think Curly Howard was the key to the stooges.  But without Moe Howard to play off of,  Curly would have been the same thing.

So don't sell yourself short.

teo,

Try to envision "who's on first" with only Costello standing up there and doing the bit by himself. And then you'll get the picture.
