But if you forget how the last years were, its like you hadnt lived em at all, so whats the point? Your impression would be that you lived the same that a normal person :)

From what I heard about how the mind works it would probably delete less important information instead of simply not storing any more.

Also, we know pretty much nothing about what the side effects from this would be
If we stopped aging at 30, would we still get all yay dementia at 90? Our body is still 30, our physical brain too

I have trouble understanding how People who have studied the Bible can hold such beliefs.

Concerning Love: God killed all of humanity, except for a single family, because they hadn't turned out the way he wanted. Is that how one treats ones loved ones? (Genesis 6:1 - 9:17)

Concerning Justice: Because the Pharao defied him, God decided to kill every single firstborn in Egypt, regardless of how good or sinful they were. Is it just to kill one person for the sins of another? (Exodus 12:29-30 NLT)

Concerning Forgiveness: Elisha was at Bethel, where some kids were up on the town wall, mocking him about his bald head. He cursed them in the name of the Lord, and then two Bears came out of the woods and killed fourty-two of the children. Is it forgiving to kill children for being rude? (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB)

Only answer if you enjoy discussing your beliefs, please.

[Sheekel]

"making eye babies".....lol

This is why I cant take religion seriously

[Boirunner]

To be fair, you can hardly equate religion in itself with those nutjobs.

Answer
GOD loves His creation i.e. people but He hates sin. then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. Genesis 6:5-6
I think it was vary loving to even let Noah and his family live. Remember that Noah and his family were the only righteous people in the whole world. We deserve death but GOD grants us life.

Concerning Justice: Because the Pharao defied him, God decided to kill every single firstborn in Egypt, regardless of how good or sinful they were. Is it just to kill one person for the sins of another? (Exodus 12:29-30 NLT)

This is not a good case against God not being just. God gave Pharao a ultimatum, let my people go or I will take action. Pharao did not, God took action. And it's not like He did this at the drop of a hat God gave Pharao plenty of time and warnings be for He acted.

Concerning Forgiveness: Elisha was at Bethel, where some kids were up on the town wall, mocking him about his bald head. He cursed them in the name of the Lord, and then two Bears came out of the woods and killed fourty-two of the children. Is it forgiving to kill children for being rude? (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB)

I can not answer that at this time because I do not have the answer, I think that there is probably some contex sensitive info here about why they were teasing him. I will acknowledge that you do have a point.

[Boirunner]

Thank you for answering.

In this tale, God is just, as he killed people for sinning (breaking the rules). I would not call killing ones children for sinning "loving" though, by any stretch of the word. If you love your children, you will be sad if they dissapoint you, you might punish them, but never kill them. That is a horrible thing to do. In fact, killing pretty much the entire human race is probably the most evil thing anyone has ever done in history.

If god had, after his warning, killed the Pharao alone, or even the Pharao and his officer, advisers, councilmen and soldiers, I could see your point. But he killed all the firstborn in the whole country, not just those supporting the Pharao. This will have included babies and young children who had in no way helped or supported the Pharao. Killing these innocent children for his deeds is very unjust. It is like punishing you for something a countryman of yours did that you have no connection to.

He cursed them in the name of the Lord, and then two Bears came out of the woods and killed fourty-two of the children. Is it forgiving to kill children for being rude? (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB)

I can not answer that at this time because I do not have the answer, I think that there is probably some contex sensitive info here about why they were teasing him. I will acknowledge that you do have a point.

To put the verse in context, here it is with the ones before and after it:

21 Then he went out to the spring and threw the salt into it, saying, "This is what the LORD says: 'I have healed this water. Never again will it cause death or make the land unproductive.' " 22 And the water has remained wholesome to this day, according to the word Elisha had spoken.

23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths. 25 And he went on to Mount Carmel and from there returned to Samaria.

It seems this particular tale stands alone.


I realize that Christians feel that our lives are in the hands of God, and are his to do with and take as he pleases. I can accept that. I just don't understand where the loving, just, and forgiving part comes in, if you accept the old testament.

The new testament is very different. I like Jesus.

[Peet]

Even Satanism (LaVeyan, of course...nobody gives a crap about theistic) forbids harming children.

[SwiftSpear]

To be fair... it's like voluntarily entering navy seal training and then whining when they kick out out for sneaking donuts. If you want to go to the most strict school on earth, there's really no excuse for being disappointed when they are strict to you.

Granted, most people would never want that... but there's a niche market for everything.

[Otherside]

i would go there wear my religion kills tshirt and see how long id last :D

(but tbh that would get me kicked/suspended from a few skools)
