The Religion Thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Can one search the database by credit card info. and was that the only way to pay? The site I found only supports searching by email address.
... A member may pay via credit card, cash, check or any other method we may accept as payment of account ...

Yep, the credit card users were idiots.

Josh Duggar Admits to Cheating on His Wife Anna Duggar: "I Have Been the Biggest Hypocrite Ever"

... "I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife," he wrote. "I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him."

He apologized directly to his family for his latest and previous scandal. "I brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends and the fans of our show with my actions that happened when I was 14-15 years old, and now I have re-broken their trust," he continued. "The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, I was hiding my own personal failings. As I am learning the hard way, we have the freedom to choose to our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. I deeply regret all hurt I have caused so many by being such a bad example." ...

It's the Social Conservative way Josh. Your job is to tell others how to live. You can't be expected to follow the same puritanical lines. Hypocrisy is in the DNA of Social Conservatives.. You can't be expected to fight that.
He was probably looking for one of his sisters.
I bet it will eventually come out that he's banged a couple of dudes, too.
My favorite so far:
At this point it's probably a good thing the family pets can't talk.

"Hypocrisy is in the DNA of Social Conservatives"
Hypocrisy is in everyone's DNA. Conservatism, politics or religion have no bearing on how people fail in life. Liberal-minded individuals have the same DNA make-up as any other human. A strong will, a sense of decency, and what's right and what's wrong are roadblocks leading to the path of destruction.

All these picture perfect types have skeletons in their closets. You know what it is? When you live a life where everything is set out and planned following a set path from birth till death you sublimate all those impulses for chaos. You need some kind of uncertainty and chance in your life otherwise you stop growing and begin rotting within. That's why these ultra religious assholes end up having doing things like this. They never take a night to go out and get plastered and let loose so they end up doing even worse things like signing up to Ashley Madison and molesting kids and getting glory-holed in rural Lil' Crickets. Everything's a sin for these psychos.

That's a good point.
The Catholics have a hierarchy of sins - some venial, some mortal. F'rinstance...

"In the Book of Proverbs 6:16-19, among the verses traditionally associated with King Solomon, it states that the Lord specifically regards "six things the Lord hateth, and seven that are an abomination unto Him", namely:[2]
A proud look
A lying tongue
Hands that shed innocent blood
A heart that devises wicked plots
Feet that are swift to run into mischief
A deceitful witness that uttereth lies
Him that soweth discord among brethren
Another list, given this time by the Epistle to the Galatians (Galatians 5:19-21), includes more of the traditional seven sins, although the list is substantially longer: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, "and such like".[3] Since the apostle Paul goes on to say that the persons who practice these sins "shall not inherit the Kingdom of God", they are usually listed as (possible) mortal sins rather than capital vices."

But the evangelical sorts don't follow this. They've got a lot of things not on the original list that they still consider awful sins. So if a sinner is doomed anyway, there's not much of a jump from betting on sports to banging your sister.

Well, of course. From a document with many authors over a good bit of time and subjected to dozens of translations by people not necessarily fluent in ancient Aramaic, it would be impossible to maintain context and continuity. But I think it's appropriate to the JTA's post.

This translation of the bible:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Word-street ... 0310932254

"Word on the Street"

An excerpt:
Genesis

...

Day one: Then God’s voice booms out, “Lights!” and, from nowhere,
light floods the skies and “night” is swept off the scene. God gives it the
big thumbs up, calls it “day”.

...

21–22
So God puts the man under some sort of divine general anaesthetic, carries
out a ribectomy, then closes up the gap in his side. God works on
the rib until he’s sculpted it into woman-shape, and then he presents her
to Adam.

23–24
“Whoa! Now we’re talking!” says Adam. “She’s like me . . . only not.
Same bones, same skin, same shape . . . only not. She’s . . . uh . . . sexy.
If I’m ‘man’, she’s . . . uh . . . ‘woman’.” (Which is why when people get

GenEsIS 2:23-24 29
married, they leave their parents behind and set up their own family
unit. Sex makes them one person: you can’t tell where one stops and the
other starts.)

25
They’re both stark naked, not that they’ve noticed – they’ve got no
hang-ups about nudity.

There are a lot of people who will ridicule and criticize that book. But it's no different from the King James version, that used language and lexicon of 17th Century England. Does anybody really think Jesus actually said things like, "thou art" and "givith"?

Rick Wiles: Muslim Spies Embedded In Churches Will Kill Us All

... End Times preacher Rick Wiles has evidently embraced Lipkin’s claim, telling viewers of “The Jim Bakker Show” this week that Lipkin’s wife “has alerted Israeli officials that the Muslims in the Middle East are bragging that they have infiltrated every Christian church in America.”

“I believe it,” Bakker said. “They’re going to come in among us.”

Wiles even had evidence to back up Lipkin’s allegation: a vision he received from God in 1998. As Wiles tells it, God told him that “Muslims will put spies in Christian churches and they will have the names and addresses of every person on the staff, their spouses, their children, their Sunday school teachers and there is a day of jihad coming.” God continued: “There will be a war cry and a secret coded message will go out in all the mosques on a Friday that the jihad is to begin, the observant Muslims will be told you are obligated to commit jihad within the hour.”

Looks like atheists are safe, whew.

This god dewd though, he's a real asshole.... he tells Muslims to attach the Christians, and the Christians to attack the Muslims.

... The French leak monitoring firm CybelAngel said it counted 1,200 email addresses in the data dump with the .sa suffix, suggesting users were connected to Saudi Arabia, where adultery is punishable by death.

CybelAngel also said it counted some 15,000 .gov or .mil addresses in the dump, suggesting that American soldiers, sailors and government employees had opened themselves up to possible blackmail....
Some Islamic preacher guy was busted and was trying to make excuses. I saw this comment in Reddit and had a chuckle:

https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/ ... za/cud5e4g

Muslims are total noobs. Christian leaders have this shit down to a science:
I have sinned
I have lost my way
I have begged for forgiveness
I have been forgiven
I have renewed my faith
Send me your money

... 1. Time Stamps

Using the data field of mail_last_time, Newitz found that only 1,492 of the women on the site had ever checked messages, compared to the 20 million-plus men. "It was a serious anomaly," she wrote of the find.

2. Chat Users

Newitz used the field, chat_last_time, to look for how many of the site's women ever used the chat functionality. According to her data findings, only 2,400 of the women ever accessed the function, as opposed to the 11 million-plus men who would use Ashley Madison's chat tool.

3. Message Replies

Finally, Newitz input the field, reply_mail_last_time, which also featured a similar pattern to the previous two findings. She found that only 9,700 of the women had ever replied to a message, versus the 5.9 million men who would do the same.

"Overall, the picture is grim indeed," Newitz concluded. "Out of 5.5 million female accounts, roughly zero percent had ever shown any kind of activity at all, after the day they were created....

TRUMP ON RELIGION

I love God. He's a builder. Made the world in 6 days. That's YUUUUUUUGE. I would have used more marble. But He did a nice job. #TrumpBible

I have a lot of Jewish friends. Jesus is one of them. Great guy. Cherishes women. The blacks love him. The Hispanics love him. #TrumpBible

"I'm gonna build a pyramid and I'm going to do it without letting your people go." #trumpbible

"Jesus wasn't a martyr. He's a martyr because he was crucified. I like people that weren't crucified, ok I hate to tell you." #trumpbible

"I'm not saying Jesus wasn't born in Bethlehem. I'm just saying show me the birth certificate." #trumpbible

Scribe: Which is the greatest commandment?
Jesus: Sit down. Nobody called on you. Go back to Jerusalem. #TrumpBible

Cain, Abel, both good friends. Cain got into agriculture, bad business. But he murdered his competition. That's leadership. #TrumpBible

Jesus wept. "I like saviors who don't weep." #TrumpBible

Don't get me wrong: Jesus? Great guy, classy. But a terrible executive. I would never tolerate a traitor within my organization. #TrumpBible

I lost a lot of respect for the Pharaoh. Never should have let the Hebrews go because of, what, hail? The Hebrews love me. #TrumpBible

Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes and GAVE THEM AWAY? Terrible business strategy. #TrumpBible

Samaria sends us their murderers, their rapists, and some, I assume, are good Samaritans. #TrumpBible

Jesus turned water into wine. The good stuff. Not that garbage they serve at some places. #TrumpBible

The Romans are the best. Just the best. You've got to know how to talk to them. You like that aqueduct? I like the aqueduct. #TrumpBible

There was no room at the inn. Mary and Joseph should have gone to a Trump resort. Classy. Myrrh like you can't imagine. #TrumpBible

"Lemme explain something to you: the lenders in the temple are just using the established laws to conduct legitimate business." #TrumpBible

Ruth said: "Do not urge me to leave you," but Boaz replied, "You snuck in here. You're disgusting. Get away from my feet." #TrumpBible

That tower in Shinar is a terrible place. Awful. You can't understand what anybody's saying. Too many illegal immigrants. #TrumpBible

"Blessed are the rich in spirit. The poor are a bunch of losers and chumps." -- #TrumpBible

And Esau, who by the way was a loser and a terrible negotiator, said "What is birthright citizenship to me?" #TrumpBible

And He said, "go forth and harass minorities. Do this in remembrance of me." #TrumpBible

And Jesus said to them, "It is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, but I am REALLY, REALLY rich." #TrumpBible

#TrumpBible is tremendous. Those other hashtags are LOSERS.

"Render unto Trump that which is Trump's, with eminent domain." #TrumpBible

I like the guys God doesn't test. Not like that loser Job. #TrumpBible

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father without a cracker and his juice cup #TrumpBible

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of 5th Avenue I will fear no evil, for my checkbook is with me” #TrumpBible

"The Samaritans are dirty and low class. They're not sending us their best people." #TrumpBible

To protect Jericho, I'm gonna build these HUGE, CLASSY walls. With beautiful gates. Gonna protect everybody. #TrumpBible

"Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, haters and losers, into the eternal fire, which is Mexico.'" #TrumpBible

He approached Jesus to kiss him, but Jesus said to him, "Judas, you're FIRED." #TrumpBible

I'll feed these 5000 but I'm gonna make the Samaritans pay for it #TrumpBible

The Trump Tower and Casino of Babel is the biggest and most luxurious anywhere, and it's a huge success #TrumpBible

Tower of Babel? Trying to build a hi-rise where nobody speaks the same language? Hey. Welcome to my world. #TrumpBible

This Goliath guy, he's HUGE loser. David, he's a real classy winner. Used his sling to Make the Israelites Great Again. #TrumpBible

Jesus. Good guy. Nice guy. He's lucky I wasn't around then. He would've had no chance, no chance being the son of god over me. #TrumpBible

Trump: I love the Bible
Q: What's your favorite passage?
Trump: "It is better to be feared than loved, if you can't be both" #trumpbible
