"anyone else ever notice that?

the connection between rascism and christianity ?......"

Interesting point, to say the least.

I do know that back in the day, white used the good book as a reference guide while stringing up Blacks. A lot of the "stringers" were preachers.

Could we call the Crusades "racism", or "Terrorism".

"Bison - The Genisis "Flood Story", is a direct rip off of the Sumerian "Epic of Gilgimesh". Also, there are writtings that should have been put in "The Book", but where found after the Church put the Bible together. The couldn't add them, because the Chruch said that the Bible was THE book. It couldn't go back, ass these writings, then say "Now THIS is the book".

All religion is Myth. Christainity is just the flavor of the month."

Laqtis - Like I said, missing the point. Most Christians in my experience are well aware of these ideas, so please don't present such information as though I'm not I need some kind of education. The real question is does it matter. And the answer is that as a matter of faith it doesn't matter at all.

FAITH is a child plugging it's ears and saying,"i can't hear you" to SCIENCE.

FAITH is the enemy of knowledge, curiosity, discovery, and truth.

FAITH is stupid.

"The real question is does it matter. And the answer is that as a matter of faith it doesn't matter at all....."

Why not? The "faith" is an easy fall back.

Here's an example:


Prove it!

I can't, you just have to trust me and have faith.

I'm not trying to educate you, Bison. I am just pointing out that the legs of the religion you believe is shaky, unoriginal, and is a sham.

Remember, if it weren't for goot old Emperor Constantine, you'd be sacificing a chicken right now to your Gods.

I do have a very important, serious question to ask and I hope that you could answer it.

Why is it that in the Bible, God brings along man, in "His" image, after he creates the Earth and everything. Looks like "god" was what, Homo-erectus, or something? The historical evidence is overwhelming that others lived here for Billions of years, then only in the last 5,000 years, he creates man? What gives?

what i said was
"also, without a doubt the most rascist people i've met from around the country are all very "devout" christians."

Laqtis - I'm not aware that the Bible says that God created man in the last 5000 years. I'm also not aware that the Bible states that God created man in his own physical image, and even if he did what reason would there be for that not be God's own self image?

Sacco this is your quote, it implies a direct correlation between the religion (not specific practitioners of the religion) and racism.

ahhh. i see.

so because i said there is a CONNECTION, what i really meant (according to you) is that ALL christains are rascist, and therefore by listing 3 black ministers you proved me wrong.

you surely got me there friend.
i can see i'm no match for your powers of logical reasoning.

well done bison. well done.

BTW -


Genesis 1
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
laqtis

You can't because it doesn't exist.

Here is the verse:

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

Genesis Chapter 1 Verse 26

You can certainly read into that God was thinking of his physical image, but that's not what it says. It only says in "our image, in our likeness." The verse does not speak to the character of the likeness being physical.
Bison
1:46:05 PM
6/14/04

And verse 27 as you posted. Once again nothing to lead me to assume that God created man in his physical image. If that's what you read into then that thought comes from you, but that idea is not contained in the verse.

I think that's a strech, man.

What other image is there? Mental?

Don't take the easy way out.

The Bible is clear what it means, God created man to be like him, period. No if's ands, or buts.

And you point out a very big flaw in Christianity about interuptation. It's all in how you look at it, right?

Five preachers can get five different things outta that passage. No consistantcy amoung the flock.

Of course there's not consistency of the flock, God gives us free will, that includes the free will to read things in a different manner from how others read them.
I don't see my thinking on the image question as a stretch at all, we often use the term "create in (his, her, their) own image" to mean something other than physical image. For instance political image, emotional image, etc... And If it does refer to physical image I still see no reason why our form would not be God's own self image.

Here's another:

Genesis 5


From Adam to Noah

1 This is the written account of Adam's line.

When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.


like·ness ( P ) Pronunciation Key (lkns)
n.
The state, quality, or fact of being like; resemblance.
An imitative appearance; a semblance.
A pictorial, graphic, or sculptured representation of something; an image.




I think this is poretty clear on WHAT God was trying to do.

Bison - You are also correct that the Bible doesn't state that man was created 5 gees or so, it's MY deduction because your religion hasn't been around that long, what only 2,000 or so.

Why did God wait 3,000 years before making his religion dominate?
