Now you know why it''s so critical to find a god-fearing obedient wife! - Reply to this comment
- but strong faith is developed by obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ; in other words, faith comes by righteousness, although miracles often confirm one faith.

What absolute nonsense. This is just gibberish that cannot even be reduced to an assertion that one might logically debate. Faith is developed by obedience to the gospel of Christ? That''s like saying blind faith in Hitler is developed by obedience to Mein Kampf, and one''s faith in Hitler is confirmed by totally unverified and unverifiable events that his followers claim to have witnessed. So what? Does that make following Hitler a noble act? - Reply to this comment

Yes...my taxes are due, and I have procrastinated because of 60+ hour work weeks for the past several months. ...and responding to mundane posts with even more mundane BS of my own. Albeit, some comments have been very enlightening, especially yours and Voltairs.
Time to get to work on my taxes... - Reply to this comment

- The Lord has revealed himself and his perfect character, possessing in their fulness all the attributes of love, knowledge, justice, mercy, unchangeableness, power, and every other needful thing, so as to enable the mind of man to place confidence in him without reservation.

Okay, since you can''t explain how it makes sense that god was so cruel to Abraham, maybe can explain this one. If God has a "perfect character" as you say, then why''d he pull the ol'' switcheroo between the Old and the New Testament? And, how do I know he isn''t still trying to make up his mind? Further, the following doesn''t seem to me to be a sign of someone with perfect character, but I''m sure reasonable minds will differ (not): "And at midnight the LORD killed all the firstborn sons in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn son of the captive in the dungeon. Even the firstborn of their livestock were killed. Pharaoh and his officials and all the people of Egypt woke up during the night, and loud wailing was heard throughout the land of Egypt. There was not a single house where someone had not died." (Exodus 12:29-30 NLT) - Reply to this comment
- Who are we to judge? We must blindly respect everyone else''''s religious beliefs, no matter how ridiculous, no matter how absurd, no matter how cruel, no matter how dangerous.

We can''t judge; we can only render opinions. Judgment day came for the Laffertys and Jeffs when they went to court. It will come for those religious leaders in Eldorado when they go to court. For those who "believe," it may (or may not) come when they die.
As for "blindly respect" the religious beliefs of others--we only do that as long as they don''t break the law or violate our moral standards. Having multiple wives and marrying young girls may be the "moral standard" in Arab and other countries, but it is not the moral standard in the U.S.
In fact, in "The God Delusion" Richard Dawkings concludes that we don''t have to respect anyone suffering from religious delusion any more than they have to respect atheists.
When one person suffers from delusions, it''s called insanity; when a group of people suffers from delusions, it''s called religion. - Reply to this comment
