On Violet’s blog, there are theists who are busy pointing to each how wrong they are. And then there is that one theist who insisted le Ark is full of hate. Mencken has something on this that I find quite interesting. He writes
No combat set in this world ever grows more furious and extravagant than a combat between Christians. They seem to have a special talent for hatred, almost a vocation. Perhaps the fact that their creed denounces it specifically and is mainly concerned with putting it down- perhaps this fact has its significance for practitioners of the Freudian necromancy.
[..]In the course of them many a false-face and bed sheet is pulled off and many a fraud is burnt by the pitiless sun. It is a salubrious sport and diverting. Of it, one may say what one may say of all other varieties of war; that the offensive is more charming than the defensive. Neither side is very impressive when it bawls against the libels of the other. But both are thrilling when they lay on.

Close but not exactly correct.
God gave different languages, BECAUSE once again the misfits of earth (humans, not apes) had gone their own way.
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Go to, let us go down, and there CONFOUND their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there CONFOUND the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:

“And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower” – Why would he have to come down? Couldn’t he see it from where he was? And why down? We’ve been to the moon, so heaven is clearly not up —

“Go to, let us go down, and there CONFOUND their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.”
Why would it need to do that, when all it had to do was let them build it so high that they passed out from oxygen deprivation? Unless it didn’t KNOW that the oxygen content diminished, the higher one went above the Earth. But a real god would know that, wouldn’t it? OR – maybe the priest who wrote the story didn’t know that – What do YOU think, CS, after all, it’s YOUR inerrant Bible —
“Btw, where do you think the word babble derived from?” – Critiques of your writing? Actually, it comes from Babylon. After all, that’s where the Great Ziggurat was located, upon which the fable was based.

I’m puzzled by by the term “opposed Christians”. Sure, I’ve met a very few fundamental Christians that claim the only “true” religion is their own, but from my own experience, nearly all Christians accept that their interpretation of the bible is simply one possible interpretation. Most Christians I know believe the bible is an inspired work, but not literally “God’s word”. But then I don’t live in the US, so what do I know.
LikeLiked by 1 person
“I don’t live in the US”. It’s a hot mess here with religion. Christians of this group say those of that group aren’t true christians, only they are, and most xtian sects really dislike the Catholics because they follow the pope. Thus, they’re supposedly not true christians. Others take the bible literally, Ken Ham is one such nutter, and try to get state funding to build religious themed parks that promote their glorified idea that Jesus rode around on a T-Rex. It is crazy here, especially for a country that has separation of church and state written into its Constitution.

Other times, a change in clergy, will prompt members to find a congregation more where services are more to their liking.

What need would your god have for a penis, CS? It never has sex with anyone, even sends its Holy Spook to do it instead. So urination would be the only other possible reason it would have for having one, and if a god must drink, that would imply it could die from dehydration, which wouldn’t make it very god-like, would it?

But lots of religions, philosophies, and faiths have hypocrites. Its just that for many the Christian group is the most annoying. Even to other Christians. We are all people, and the Christian is not superior, there is even a passage in a Bible that says so. We are told not to judge others, or else we shall be judged the same way. In a way it’s a little bit like Karma. This can apply to anyone of any belief. Also practicing what we preach. Another important philosophy to live by.
