So he sends someone to assault you. To help you. Then we punish the assaulter. And at the same time praise the god who sent him to hurt you. Instead of prisons, we should exalt the rapists, assaulters, torturers. Give them compensation for making us better.

TristanNuvo comments on Oct 30, 2018:

If you can't tell the difference from right and wrong, you don't lack religion, you lack empathy. No need for an ancient book to tell you that.

Fernapple comments on Oct 30, 2018:

There is one all important teaching you can get from the bible, if not find in the bible, and that is. Don't base your whole life on just one book, if you do read more than one book make sure they are not all derived from one book, and if you can only read one book try to find a better one.

There are universal ethics that have squat to do with the bible. No indiscriminate killing, etc. The other nitpicky crap in the bible is mostly used for evil. The lessons of the bible include being pro-rape, pro-slavery, pro-genocide, and generally just a reflection of some of the worst ideas ...

After this synagogue shooting, it might become obvious, and it has for me since I was born Jewish, that Jews will not be considered white anymore. I've never felt white. I was raised in Savannah, GA which further exacerbates the otherness of Semitic people. That includes Arabs.
