There is a point, but sinister one. Control. You can't have a nice friendly god if you want to control your population. Look at Islam, death to apostates, death to adulterers and so forth. You can't have a nice god and expect to control your slaves.

Instead you just spout off more bible verses 'proving' you are right, but in fact all you are doing is your usual circular reasoning, the bible is right because the bible says so.
What it does in fact is make sure there will be religious warfare for the foreseeable future. WAY into the future, our great great great grandkids will still be trapped in all this folly. And OF COURSE you will be all for it since your bible assures you your JC is coming back, right around the corner now, only 2000 years and counting.
What a load of crap. The biggest scam in human history, well ALMOST, there is also Islam and Hinduism, also a bunch of fairy tales.
Of course you come back and say 'I agree those are bogus, fairy tales, but not MY religion'
And of course those in the other religions say exactly the same about THEIR religions.
So the fighting goes on. If there is a deity involved, then it is only reasonable to say it WANTS things that way, so we cannot achieve real maturity as a species. Your deity WANTS us to be barbarians.
Lovely religion you are trapped in.
Originally posted by FMFIt's not exactly an "all or nothing" deal, you know. There's plenty of mis-interpretation to go around. Discernment is required.
If you and I are wrong, and their interpretation of God's will is correct and based on a true revelation of God, then it's bad news for the human race ~ even if the actions of ISIS pale into insignificance if we are to believe what many Christians think is the fate awaiting those who do not believe in their 'torturer God' figure.

I don't receive untruth very easily so there is nothing about it that is astonishing.
The question I would like answered is what if you refuse to pay the jtxya tax? 😏

You put far too much importance on Islam.
When the hammer comes down, they'll be just another nail.
