First let me say, you are the first Christian in this thread to intelligently post in this thread..............you have freely admitted that your religion is nothing more than faith, which by definition can never be proven.....it exists in the minds of it's followers. You did not come in here claiming that everything of your religion is fact......or disputing known information about our universe that directly contradicts the stories of your religion. Kudos for that.
I think there are many sayings, and teaching that are perverted, in what I go by, I have trust, and I try to treat people like I want to be treated, would I want someone to force upon to me that everything that I believe is utterly and stupidly wrong?
I chose to follow god, I wasn't forced to.
Thanks though, I think this thread is a work of genius.

That said....1. My chromosomes combined with my wife's chromosomes to create an entirely new being, genetically different from anything on this planet that has ever existed. There are other types of reproduction.....asexual, cloning, mitosis, etc. that do not create new life.......only sexual reproduction creates something entirely new. I did that.
Now now, how is it entirely new?
How is your child entirely new?

2. You say god never commanded anything from anyone. What were those 10 things he handed down to Moses called again? As a matter of fact, if you refuse to do as god commands you are punished.........for disobeying his commandments. Not one of the ten commandments were phrased as a question.
This is what I go by...
If he is hungry, feed him.
If he is cold, warm him up etc. etc.
If I treat people like I want to be treated, which is what god ultimately wants, than I've done the best that I can do.
If I'm wrong, than I shouldn't suffer worse, if another is right, nothing would be better in the end.
Anyway, ethnicity and religion, often go together.
Why is it not ok to "kill", god said so sure.
Lets look at it from a wordly view.
If I kill someone, I not only upset those that loved the person, I also make the area around me, not as safe as a place to live in.
Even in revenge, people openly say that killing someone in revenge is okay, I say think about it.
If someone killed your brother, you would retailitate. Why?
Because you are hurt by it.
You kill the killer, and although the person was "wrong" the family still loves them as well.
What was accomplished?
