roses and cake after you're dead is really convenient if you intend to exploit them.

Execute a woman for not being a virgin on her wedding day?

Yeah, sure.

Although raised in a religious family, I saw the hypocrisy of that religion at a very young age. I've been considered the "black sheep" of the family since my early teens, but I can guarantee I've lived a more moral life than my religious family. You don't need religion to be a good person.

...religion needs to be treated the same as the genitals.

Illegal to expose in public (what you do in your own home is your business)

Illegal to force upon others (i.e rape)

Anyone who understands the gospels would agree with the purpose behind every message !!! Running down the above messages in order:

...the parable describing the law of karma obviously doesn't
promise heaven... and Paul might wonder which heaven
...nowhere do the writers tell readers to ignore advances in
physical knowledge... they do advocate greater knowledge
of the spiritual/paranormal
...belief is nothing without practicing the instructions to love
...the parables describe soul growth as the purpose for life and
an essential element of the god system. Relying on physical
violence to display one's beliefs rather than role modeling
one's belief's teachings violates soul growth and the god
system.
...Scripture has little use for religion and even presents a believer
being told he's not good enough for heaven
...Jesus offers plenty of evidence that there's not much useful
to his teachings in the Hebrew writings. Only new testament
material should be cited... when it's understood
...accurate Christian theology does not reflect a source/god who
meddles in earthly affairs.

These messages are PERFECT examples of how the theology discernible in scriptures has been thoroughly corrupted. Would that people who claim to be Christian would recognize that how people see them, usually because of their own actions, is evidence that they need to examine what they stand for waaaaay more carefully !!

Keep up the good work !!!! As one American bishop said, if you have a god who can be killed, kill it..... or something like that.
