Old Testament: don't mess with God New Testament: be nice to people

i just watched lewis black yesterday, have to re-watch it, but he said something to the similar. The God of the Old Testament was pissed off and the God of the new Testament was happy, what was the change? Was it the kid, now that God has a son, he's happy? And he's jewish, so of course there was some insightfull comments on Christians and their interpretations of Their (the jews') book! I couldn't stop laughing.....Red, White and Screwed on HBO. It's great both on the Political front AND the religious!

Fundamentalist christians believe the the bible is "THE WORD OF GOD" (all caps intentional, and if I could get an echo please.) Everything in it is the literal truth. Therefore you get the Jerry Falwells et al. thumping this book that has been changed and re-written to fit Constantine's vision or King James' vision. Catholics are a bit more "loose" with the bible interpretations and believe that it is filled with "divine symbolism" (good description!)

It is interesting to see how these men (ok, the women let them, but they didn't have a voice!) have taken the "WORD OF GOD" and made it fit so that, instead of an all Loving God, we get the God of Vengence, the God of Hate, the God of Homophobia. An Eye for and Eye, Stone the Adulterers, Suffer not a witch to live...when, from what I believe was a God/dess of Love. Turn the other cheek, Love thy neighbor...those are the messages they should be supporting, don'cha think?

I think that the Catholics may have it right...at least to a degree..

Blue: I visited a friend tonight and a opossum walked across my path as I went to her door....then when I came home the same thing happened but as I walked to my own door. What an interesting coincidence! I will take the advice it gives me. Oct 19, 2015 23:42:46 GMT -5

Obviously: One can prove that magic works to themselves by attempting different spells and having positive results that match up with their intention. This is how one proves anything by use of experiment. Anything other than that is simple self-delusion. Jul 1, 2017 14:01:02 GMT -5

Capricorn: Interesting... Does this thing really works? I've tried the circle but never worked for me... If this thing is true please reply back. Thanks
