Religion Show me the Christian rulebook...

[Procrastinator35]

Sin implies that there is a sky fairy type judging your action.Otherwise antisocial actions are better known as "crime".

No...Sin implies that we have a conscience & a free will to chose our actions either in harmony with it or against it.

Enough of this sky fairy nonsense.

That's what atheists have been saying for years!

Agree 100%

These few commandments (3 of them), and the 'golden-rule' have been an idea that has pre-dated Christianity since the dawn of time. The human race would not have survived had they not been, well most pertinently the treat others how you wish to be treated and the 'do not kill.'

The human race would not have prospered if it wasn't a moral value that was realised literally thousands of years prior to some ignorant desert peasants inventing what is now modern Christianity. It's a sad state of affairs that people still think it was the other way around and that somehow Jesus/Christianity were the first to come up with these ideals.

The original commandment is thou shalt commit no murder. As we all know murder is quite specific, whereas thou shalt not kill would actually be a blanket rule.

Wow! The use of pejoratives!! Those 'ignorant peasants' were part of the line that gave us algebra, trigonometry, agriculture, writing, astronomy, science, music, art, engineering, hydrology, libraries, philosophy, medicine, etc. etc.
What dumb-arses they were!

Thou shall not kill, but was that in Folau list?

And yet these cultures also believed that a poor yield of crops would be rectified by appeasing their god with sacrifices, etc.

Yes, some of them were obviously brilliant, but that doesn't mean that they weren't also ignorant in relation to the basis of their religious beliefs. Because clearly they were.

Out of interest, how do you think people in 1500-2000 years will describe us now?

Kind of obvious that one. Not really needed to be pointed out.

Impossible to say really given that there are so many potential scenarios that will play out.

But let's presume humans are still around, and that the recorded history of our time was still accessible, and that technology has evolved throughout the intervening period, then I imagine they will see us as simple people that are ignorant regarding many things - like the continued belief in thousands of imaginary god's.

They’ll think we were stupid to work so many hours in post Industrial Age.

Lots of people working only to negate, or audit each other

Rhetorical question, with context, only theives in Folau retweeted list would be frowned upon today


Kill is not on the list. Not surprising really, Christian churches done their fair share of killin

The same way we view the ideas of the writers of the The Torah, Bible and Quran.
Halfwits essentially.
