I'm running off the theory that God was wasted for a good chunk of the Old Testament. Then in the New Testament, suddenly he's a family man. He's got a kid, and new responsibilities. No more late night benders with Gabriel. Sure, he might not be the wild party animal he was, and the angels might sit and tell stories of that time that God flooded the world on a bet from The Metatron, and almost didn't get up through his hangover to warn that Noah guy, but he's really leveled out, become more stable.

old testament was all fire and brimstone and kicking ass, and the new testament was more of a hippy love fest. GOD IS A FLIP-FLOPPER!

man, religion is corrupt by human nature, in a way, religion is wacked based on the fact that humans created it, maybe some are better than others, maybe all their creators had good intentions at the time of their birth, but i dont need to fear no fucking god to konw who i am

you just might be on to something brilliant.

the old testament is not a historical text. it's a compilation of symbolic stories that may or may not be accounts of actual events. i wouldn't say it's "bad" by any means, just not very relevant for some people.

so if a=b and b=c then a=c: god=flipflopper and flipflopper=john kerry, so god=john kerry. i either just proved simple algebra, religion, or both very wrong. god is definatley not john kerry.

the old testament is the Tanakh, the jewish holy book. it was adopted by the christian faith. then subsiquently hacked to peices through generations of translation/revision. but if you ever had somone translate the the acutal texts (or know biblical hebrew)you will find that the texts are rich with humor and satire. The Old testament/Tanakh is adapted from an older mythology called the Epic of Gilgamesh. one of the main chariters, Enkidu gets drunk and beacomes mortal..i'm not sure what that means... but you can incorporate that into your theory

it's ok to question your faith. but you'll come back to Christ. He'll always be there nagging you. what is there now... parties? girls? try to look past the here and now and visualize a life in eternity with our Savior. praise God!

But what if he was? What if we voted against God in the last election? Would that mean that America is going to hell? Or just 49% of us?

God does not exist. It a stupid excuse for ignorence.

Together we follow
The great words of the unspoken
Give your life for the non-existant
or give it to the powerfuless all so powerful.
Prove the superstitions
with untrue facts
Accept the lies and easy answers
Ban and kill the reform

Ideas based on peace and acceptance
Lead to death and hatred
Convince the few,have idiots
Convince the many, have infidels
Convince the whole
A loss of population

Waste time to gosts
reciting words
A pardon by who
And what sin commited
Sex is good
But none for the imagination
for the second comming...
Of what?

My God - Pennywise

People on the street they wannna find a god they'll never know,
organized religion pulls the blinds then they pull the wool,
they open up your head, they're fuckin' with your mind,
now you can't see because you're blind
You try to make amends but your heads still spinnin' round,
the church of Jesus Christ said it's time, don't fuck around,
you wanna go to heaven, you see it isn't free, give your money up to me
My god is not the one that you wanna see, your god is a mirage,
a conspiracy, you pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin',
scared to death so your money you'll be givin', yeah

Holier than thou with your one way morality,
I think your shallow faith isn't based in reality,
you don't like how were live, we're sinful and obscene,
why are you judgin' me?
You're richer than God but you're cryin' out for more,
you're livin' like a king while you steal from the poor,
wanna be forgiven, get on your knees and pray,
send in your cash and be saved

My god is not the one that you wanna see,
your god is a mirage, a conspiracy,
you pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin',
scared to death so your money you'll be givin',
yeah, better hope you've been chosen to be saved
Cause your empathy only goes so far today
Pay no mind to those in pain if you just want the souls
who are willing to pay
Their way, your god's not for me

My god is not the one that you wanna see,
your god is a mirage, a conspiracy,
you pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin',
scared to death so your money you'll be givin',
yeah, my god is not the one that you wanna see,
your god is a mirage, a conspiracy,
you pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin',
scared to death so your money you'll be givin',
yeah, stop

Trust NS to fill this thread with worthless drivel and ignore the succinct brilliance that was the first post.

I was tempted to applaud... I think your theory has legs, I really do. It might explain all that stuff about shellfish and so forth, too.

i have no problem with religion (not being a religious person myself) but i do, however, have a problem with mixing religion and humanity. i am perfectly fine with the christian and catholic religions because they still work and cope with the modern world just fine. but other religions such as muslim where their women have to be completely covered up at all times and the fact that they believe that the rest of the world should all follow their religion cause they think theirs is the best. this doesnt work with modern society and has caused problems everywhere.

that logic doesnt play out,
both god and john kerry are seen as examples of flipfloppers. The transitive property would require a unique solution.

Cats are animals,
Dogs are animals

Being a Christian could be something you like if you gave it half a chance.
Choosing to believe and put your faith in something that you cannot see is a powerful thing. You'll soon see that God is very real.
