Here you go optimist

Not sure my motivation...my instinctive need to stick up for the underdog...my secret desire to be one day honoured rightfully with the role of Forum moderator (expecting a call any day)...

But anyway I couldn't help but read your troubles on another thread...unfortunately I found myself siding with everyone's posts...other than your own...except for the part where you were told you can't post here!

So I put my low IQ mind to coming up with a solution that suits all...and here it is...a safe place if you like

You can post anything you like about your beliefs...and no one has to read it unless they want! Easy peasy...

maybe you could even get Jesus, fat Buddha, Mohammed, and friends to converse in adult conversation here

Solving the world problems, one at a time...call it taking a shovel as a way of moving that mountain

All the best...brother

PS...I actually was born again once, but I grew up, and grew a brain of my own...and realised it was all a load of shit!

yeh, that's about all there is, now, for those who do that thing you do, @Optimist.
(I hope healths are Okay, please let us know if there is darkness there,
there are thoughtful and caring people here, and there is only goodwill,at the end of the day).

the abrahamic faiths have chosen to prove themselves a failed experiment.
just a human exploit, people have thrived and people have been tortured within it.
Like all the systems of herding humans into though that have been proffered.

it is human. we do our best. we do our worst. we just do, and carry on.
'good and evil' is our human invention, based on our nature.
we are always in the middle by definition; everything is based on man's perspective.

(battle as hard as you want. If you aren't in the middle, you aren't with the humans.)

we all find ways to head in the right direction, and feel pangs about our poor behaviors..
it is human. It is animalistic. We care. We love. We breed, we eat and play and pray.
Nothing needed from planet cloudland. Never has been. Never will be.

Peace, fellow hominid. Please, work towards NOT reducing our shared journey to pixie dust.

;)
Numbers 31
(and the rest of it)
Doesn’t sound real godly. Sounds like a bunch of humans doing what humans do.
Nice bit of storytelling mixed with the worst of the conquering armies atrocities.
In some ways it mirrors the rise of Zionism in the Levant in modern times.

THE BLOOD COVENANT….
Since the beginning of this civilisation, there has been one contract throughout humanity that was never to be broken. Everyone on earth understands it.
It was a blood covenant ….a contract between two people…a blood brotherhood.
Some cultures would make an incision in their skin and press the two together to mingle the blood.
Some would mingle a few drops of each others blood into a drink like wine etc and then drink it.
Usually an exchange of important gifts would also occur to make the occasion more memorable to the witnesses of the event.
After this covenant was cut between two peoples…..no one would dare break it.
It was in blood….it meant something special…
….it also meant that every asset from one party was available to the other and likewise from the other.
Peace and prosperity followed as no one would dare break the covenant.
How much more powerful is a blood covenant from God himself.
When He shed the blood of His own son for the wiping away of our sins.
If we accept this covenant gift something incredible happens.
We have a contract with God…..in blood….Jesus blood.
We are adopted into the family of God, our sins forgotten …a new life begins.
A shakey start at first and we will stumble a lot but through the covenant everything God has is for you and also everything we have is for Him.
When you finally digest what’s going on , it’s a truly beautiful thing.
This civilisation is passing away….lies taken as truth and truth as lies…
You can feel it in the air….
The world seems upside down ….but be comforted…
A new civilisation is planned.
A final civilisation born from the freedom of choice between good and evil..
And a life raft from God Himself.
Luke 22:20…..”..In the same way, after the supper, He ( Jesus) took the cup and said, this cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you”.

This sounds like a real sermon that you might have given. Creative analogy.

^^mordern way of extracting your blood brother’s palm cut, erm, blood of Christ?
Simples.
Shame consent for that brotherhood is non existent these days.
BTW, did Mary consent to being impregnated by God? Not even any foreplay? Oh no, God you selfish bastard! (and let’s not mention that maybe the cops should’ve been called)
