The justice according to new and old testament
OftenWrong replied to Gaétan's topic in Religion & Politics
I understand. I did say, we make a model. It is we who learn and grow, and so our understanding of that model changes. -

Okay. But there is evolution. I believe in it. So wait- things were not made perfect from the ground up? Things need to evolve? And how far can that evolution go. Physically, mentally. Spiritually. Can the creation exceed its creator? I say yes, it's possible. Just as I can learn a new and different pov from a simple child. Because over time, things get corrupted. Somebody or something made that a law of this "reality" you people live in. Don't like it? Who you gonna call? 🤷♂️ -

Perhaps god is so different that we don't understand it. Perhaps to the point we CANNOT understand it. We make a 'model' of god, and the model changes over time as we evolve and change. The old testament is the angry vengeful god, while the new one rejects that model and presents a newer, more enlightened, more peaceful and tolerant god. Then the Romans evolved this further, developing it into the foundation for western moral and legal thought. Note that the Romans rejected their former god(s), Jupiter et al being warrior-like, in lieu of a new and singular saviour of all mankind. Not just the Jews or the Egyptians, etc. They willingly made the transition from their long established violent past toward a new and modern future. It hints at what god really is. -

Hence the immortal question... standing at St. Peter's gate... "So when did you stop beating your wife?" -

Perhaps we are just his flotsam and jetsam. -
There is no need for a win. As long as the war between Ukraine and Russia continues, the US and EU are winning.

The Real Reason Trump Loves Putin
OftenWrong replied to robosmith's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Trump loves Putin so much, he bombed his troops. Trump administration confirms the US military killed 'hundreds' of Russians in Syria Trump sent 'strong message' to Iran, Russia and Syria with missile strikes: White House spokesperson And he did it by HIMSELF, do you understand? That is to say, he ordered it to be done with American equipment and military force. NOT by proxy through a buncha washed up Nazi sad-sack Ukrainians. -
Or as in the Mohawk, iennekanandaaa. They would likely prefer that one. Much harder to spell, let alone say it, or sing it in our national anthem. It's not allowed to be re-spelled phonetically. Then you've simply anglicized it again. That way it shows more respect, you see. As is already happening anyway, incrementally, in drips and drabs all over the nation.
