Sounds reasonable. The court should agree, then have them both stoned to death for wearing mixed threads, or eating lobster, or cursing their parents, or….

I agree. A nice, slow stoning that takes 12 hours or so to produce death is exactly what these guys need. It’d be SO biblical!

A few days some Christian apologist told me that the lives of believers is evidence of god, we must include this, that their god is cruel
LikeLiked by 2 people
Wouldn’t that also mean that the lives of non-nelievers is evidence there is no God?
LikeLike
No, I don’t think so
While in my argument above point to gross acts by believers, there are those believers who despite their beliefs or religious persuasions have been exemplary.
LikeLike
If belief in gods is evidence of there being gods then surely belief that there are no gods is evidence that there are no gods. Behaviour, exemplary or not is irrelevant. I’ll conceed that atheism in not evidence of there being no gods as it’s simply a lack of belief in gods. But if on the other hand there are those who strongly believe there are no gods as I do (in any literal or supernatural sense) then that must also be evidence that there are no gods. I’m just taking the guy’s silly reasoning to its logical conclusion.
LikeLike
Indeed, taken to its logical conclusion, one must admit that non believer[s], is proof there is no god(s)

When I was still a Christian it used to puzzle me why King David was not stoned to death for adultery. It was only after deconversion that I came to understand that the Laws of Moses were likely not actually in existence then, if indeed the story is factual in any way.
John I am increasingly coming around to your view that if ‘God’ does exist then there is much evidence to suggest malevolence as much if not more than to suggest benevolence.

Actually I would argue that the way the world works if there is a creator deity then perhaps the strongest evidence points towards ‘indifference’, the classic deist position.

A while back I was reading on the history of the Luo, a sub group in East Africa, and they believed god was indifferent that is why both the wicked and the good could prosper

As an apologist for TOOAIN, I have to say the natural tendency of Creation to move always towards increasing orders of evil precludes that possibility. That is a teleological birthmark, a stain the Creator could not erase.

It would be most curious if Christians read their bible at all. Peter I will say that your post doesn’t make much sense. can you clarify?

I mentioned sermon on the mount because that was where Jesus introduced thought crime, such as even looking at woman lustfully makes a man guilty of adultery [as an aside I could never work out how this applied if both the male and female were unmarried].
So I saw the Sermon on the Mount setting the most rigorous standards in the Bible for morality, that is why I mentioned it.
I find that mostly when people want to be governed by the Bible they are focussed on the OT, where if you raped a woman it was OK if you paid some money to her father or married her and the woman was also guilty if on-one heard her scream, or perhaps Numbers 31 where the Israelites were allowed to take foreign woman as sex slaves. That is more the type of Bible laws such folk favour.

The scriptures inform us that Lord G impregnated a young virgin without her consent. They also instruct us to be more “godlike” in our behavior. This could set a bad precedent.
