Okay...
They were murdered by people using christianity for their own goals, like to increase their wealth or whatever.
I was giving ONE example. Yes, there were many people of the past and of the present who used religion for thier own gain. It was used to murder my people so that European countries could aution our land and use our natural resources since they used most of thier own. It was used to brainwash our children into thinking they DESERVED what they were given and that we were heathens, godless, and going to burn in hell...
I know people used and still do use the church and the cross for thier own political, personal, and financial gain and it's disgusting as it continues today on reservations FAR from the media or the world's eye. And on other parts of the world.
You make it sound like a devout christian nowadays should repent for another man's sins.
I don't recall saying that man today should repay for the pasts mistakes. In fact my point was that the wrong doings in the past ARE NOT to be placed on the people of today. Maybe except for those who continue to madly cling to thier beliefs and use it to harm others.
And would you happen to have any sources regarding how many times the bible was, as you claim, rewritten? As far as I know that isn't common knowledge.
I'm well aware of the fact that it's not common knowledge...even though there are several different Bibles used by several diffrent branches of this religion.
However to quote as specific line that was rewritten several times is in the King James bible. It went from "Thou shalt not suffer a poisoner to live" to "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live."
The original Hebrew text was not male nor female inclusive, and spoke of herbalists who used poison to kill for money – and ancient hit-man, if you will. It turned to fit the times, which at this time of change was the prosacution of wiccans.
If you wish you can study the subject yourself, and find your own truth in the matter.
And not to sound disrepectful, but when someone's brain is blown to pieces praying, performing a ceremony or saying mass isn't going to do anything.
You obviously didn't read my last post very well. As I said that the suffering such as your example is not proof of god's inexistance. But is proof of humanities existance, humans are a cruel species and it is thier choice whether or not to blow someone's brain out. As I said a downfall to the free will that Creator has given us.
I also believe it is human's ego that drives him to believe that this time now is our only time that matters. If someone dies for thier belief, and dies praying for it, then
no doubt there is something better waiting for him/her in eternity. And I didn't say that praying would mean a movie miracle such as almost getting shot then being saved. I meant ones such as what happened to my mother and cousin. But I'm not Creator so I don't really know what can happen.
I'm sorry, but that is bullshit.
That's just rude...but at least you apolagized...so I forgive you.
