well that can bee seen as insulting a judgment to a body of work embraced by millions as sacred text... please explain to me how the Gospels are vengeance-based...i am genuinely curious. Yes, I realize there's lots of wars and all that neat stuff in the old testement......
Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
So if this, according to the Gospels, the words Jesus, how can the bible possibly be vengence based? Misued by people? Yep. Hyporcites claim they follow this? yes. No one is perfect? (and there we might find the root of a lot of atheism, not to little faith but 'too much" )...
i do not mean to personally insult anyone on this forum. Richard Dawkins is a public figure, I have stated why I think he is a fool. I don't meant the term as a insult but as an assement of his ideas, his intellect and his overall character. You can think me a fool for thinking so, I really don't care.
There are plenty of agnostics, scientists who don't believe in God, etc whom I respect...Dawkins as you may gather, is not one of them. He is fanatcism masking itself as science
