While most people want to hear the truth in such matters, it is a sad fact that when it comes to even more important matters dealing with life and death, with one’s relationship to God, and with one’s obligations to his fellowman, many do not want to hear the truth.(John 17:3)
Are you sure it 'aint you who is being deceived mate? Of the hundred and odd JW's who have been to my door, all they really understood was that they alone had the truth. Get 'em off their narrow script and they knew nowt.
You told us if we want the truth it's all in the bible. So logically chapter one
Genesis is a good place to start and within the first 20 verses God slaughters more than two million people including thousands of infants and babies. Was he justified ? Is this an example of your God and eternal life ?
John 17:3
Something you don't know exists, have never seen or heard from, and has never contacted you (unless something in your head THINKS you have heard from this mythical thing).
Goodlife I'm waiting for an answer . It's a simple question : How was God justified slaughtering over 2 million people ? We know it's true , you said so , it's in the bible !
I am convinced I already know the truth about not just one but all religions: They are, to each and every one of their adherents, their private opinions/beliefs. I am not inclined to persuade any of them as to the merits or not of those private opinions but what I find objectionable is when they try to insist on dictate on the basis of those opinions that they are right and everyone else is wrong. Worst of all is when religion is used in the exercise of power.
I do not confuse religion with basic cultural customs unconnected to or preceding the religious dimension but it is often difficult to disentangle the two because one is often mixed with the other.
