Re: Topic Synopsis
So to all of you who are pushing for this attitude answer me, why should I be good? And also answer what being good is and what being bad is if we don't have a measuring rod so to speak with which to determine if a particular behavior is good or bad.
​
What is bad? Easy, whatever I would not done to me, my family, my friends or my possessions, such things as murder, rape, robbery, arson etc.
As to why be good, practicality. If all followed treating all humans as humans then there would be no evil. The biggest problem is greed.

Re: Topic Synopsis
So this is what is good for. Is this the logic behind your argument.
​
NO!!!! The logic behind my views is that whatever I woulds not done to Me,my family, my friends or my possessions.
​
Would I want someone to assault Me? no.
Would I want my daughter raped? No.
Would I want someone to burn down my house? No.
Would I want some to lie about my bother's involvement in a crime? No.
Would I want some one to murder my Friend? No.
​
Whatever I would not done to the above is what I would consider bad.
It matters not whether a person is a believer in a religious doctrine or not, only that they respect the rights of others.

Re: The Truth Will Set You Free in deed!
It feels like no matter how many times certain people see or hear the truth they will still no accept it,
​
How does one know that it is the truth. Where is the evidence?
I mean physical evidence not bible stories.

Simon Magus was a practicer of magical arts, something the scriptures condemn

Oh! But Jesus's turning water into wine isn't?

Re: Re High claims from Michamus
I'm not surprised you didn't see the obviousness you wouldn't because you examine scripture critically and with a particular worldview.
​
Funny, it seems you do the same thing.
