    Keep in mind though, you make categorical, sweeping statements that Jesus is an (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*), so why would you support those pacifistic teachings?
    Things become more nuanced, don't they?

    Jesus, like Hitler, did indeed say some very good things, but that doesn't make up for the fact that much of his teachings/bible are horrific. If Charles Manson wins inmate of the year award for model behavior, I'm still going to say he was evil, basically. To some degree the pacifist teachings are indeed good. I think I prefer that over Mohammad's call to holy war (Jihad against the Infidel.)

    Jesus was sick in many other ways, though. He insanely allegedly said, basically, that remarriage defines adultery. So my parents are adulterers according this his sick weirdo. I bet if I asked most forum posters if there parents remarried would they be adulterers they'd say "heck no!" Stick it where the sun don't shine, Jesus!
    11And he said to them,"Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her;
    12and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery." (Mark 10:10-12; Luke 16:18)

    Jesus never mentions gays.

    He also preached to love your enemies. That even the tax collectors loved those that loved them back, and that was no accomplishment.
    Can you imagine the impact that would have if people really took that to heart?
    Just imagine if the very openly hateful "Christians" on these threads actually honored that teaching of Christ.
    What a different experience PF would be!

    You're doing your darndest to defend the biblical teaching of killing gays. Religions bring down society's compassion and humanity.

    If the standard of the day was to KILL gays (Jesus could have just been too plain STUPID to notice), and I was divine and would of course know that gays would be killed because of a book I was in, then I'm moral enough to have SPOKE OUT AGAINST THE PRACTICE! Jesus never did! That's because he likely approved of killing gays, as he accepted torture, and accepted slavery, and is perfectly fine with moral Gandhi being tortured forever. There's a clear pattern of immorality here. Jesus was simply immoral. And will go down in history as one of the most immoral people ever.
    You clearly have incredibly low standards for the allegedly greatest "god" of all time!

    If Margot had Jesus' magic super-hero abilities (answering prayers - kinda like Santa, etc.), she certainly would have, in the last 2000 years(!) found ample time in her schedule to renounce the Biblical call to slaughter innocent people who "god" made that way in the first place....that's because she's far far more moral than Jesus. So she would be better off believing in herself/humanity, rather than an immoral dead guy.

    Jesus also wanted people to hate their families, so he's a moral abomination.

    That's very good, but to put it in PERSPECTIVE (which the bible is terrible at - so it's not divinely inspired, clearly), that only makes up for Jesus' wanting me to burn, burn, burn, by, oh, say maybe 0.01%. That sick SOB, because I use my science, reason, critical thinking and common sense, will gleefully see me burn, and burn, then burn some more, the sick twisted Bible teaches. FEAR is Jesus' stock in trade. He couldn't get enough people to follow him by saying only nice things, so he had to invent (wasn't in the OT basically) "HELL/TORTURE". Since billions of people don't fall for his ruse, he'll allegedly see that those BILLIONS of moral, decent, thinking people suffer a fate than any human has ever treated any other human in world history. Just THINK how evil and narcissistic that sick weirdo is.

    "Worship FreedomSeeker or I will torture you forever, regardless of how moral you are!!" Jesus is so incredibly morally inferior to all the people I know it's amazing. He and Mohammad are sick, disgusting, pathetic, immoral, barbarians.

    Many of these arguments have been discredited.
    There are credible arguments contending the hateful rhetoric assumed to be in the bible translations regarding gays. You can look them up, or google the meeting in Kansas City this week addressing them. It's not a black and white issue.
    The other example has been discussed with you, hating family being a teaching using hyperbole as a teaching tool. Since you know that, to make the argument you do as an absolute makes you just as much of a fundamentalist as your adversaries.
    Can you see that?

    I agree with your doubtfulness of the divine inspiration of scripture. That is why my issue is always with scripture and not with Jesus, per se.
    Your raging about Jesus gives scripture the same credibility that the most devout believer would give it.
    Can you see that?

    My references that "Jesus did this", or "Jesus said that" should, in a perfect world, always be prefaced with "allegedly", so yes, you are right on. Thanks for that.

    No, we DON'T know that! Perhaps someone can magically summon Jesus to clear all this crap up for us (he would be the only one that knows!) the next time they beg him for yet another favor (pray to him). If he gave a damn about us he'd do that....I know *I* would, but then I'm obviously more moral than Jesus is.

    He was Gay ,and nothing wrong with that ,no recorded "relations with women " hanging out with his "Fisherman of MEN' mates !

    NoT Fisherman of women were they ?

    I suppose it was hard to come out o the Closet in Jesus's time ,but a raging Homosexual he definitely WAS!

    Jesus preferred hot sausages over pink tacos.

    What you do know is that hyperbole is most certainly a possibility, so to characterize your position as Jesus literally asking us to hate our family as the only understanding, you come across as just as dug in as a fundy.
    Why not have some compassion about it. I'm quite sure that is what you believe in. Why not live it?

    Religion is a lie. I stop when it stops. It's ruined too many lives, and robbed too many people of their common sense, to continue.

    "Here’s a guy who -- in a culture that virtually demanded marriage -- was a single guy, spent most of his time with twelve men, singled out three of them for leadership and one of them is known in the Bible as ‘the one whom Jesus loved,’”

    So compassion isn't valuable?

    Valuable yes. A bit less of a priority than ridding the world of harmful imaginary friends, though.

    The two might have something to do with each other.
    When you push, folks push back.
    You may be perpetuating that you wish to eradicate.

    Are you familiar with the Story of God punishing King David's baby and torturing it for six days before finally killing it?

    If yours is the Trinity God then Jesus torture and killed David's baby for what David had done.

    How is that Jesus showing that he loves children?

    As a woman, I am surprised that you give Christianity any respect at all.

    They cannot put more insanity in the belief systems out here than they already have within them.

    No one could create a more gullible population if one tried.

    Sure. Can you help perpetuate insanity?

    Only if you put money in their basket.

    Sure you can.
    Provide an enemy to fight.
    You provide just what they need.

    Yes. They like to love their enemy.

    And when they show their twisted version of love and morals, as you have done ------ I do my thing.

    Proverbs 3:12
    For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
