I used to work with a very religious guy, his answer for "the hypocritical teachings" was that some just did not count or were wrong.

Well that was untill the next day when they were correct


Sounds like trying to argue with a woman !

[AlfredJPruffock]

Do we just stand aside and see people brutalized or do we take a stand?

But in this instance it is Sadrs millita who killed the UK troops with Saudi funding , why then a war against Iran ?

Surely you should be calling for action against Sadr and his millita ?

Aye SG

Thing was I bumped into that Sadr bloke in a bar in Brussels the other day, took my jacket off and asked him to step outside, next thing I knew he dissapeared on a flying carpet.

Next time ...

Chico, you have a passage for every occasion, but then again so the book is suitably ambiguous to give you the amunition.
You keep telling us how you live by the book so justify your support for war against "thou shalt not kill" and "turn the other cheek" oh tulip, I have been trumped with "an eye for an eye". It still says you must obey the commandments though fzzzt does not compute brrrrrpppp fzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt.

How is one supposed to decipher such hypocritical teachings?

Well its all about context. To the untrained eye there are many apparent contradictions however diligent study of The Bible reveals there are none. And pulling bits of it random to make your point suggests ignorance on your part. Tell you what - you can read the entire Bible in a year. So why don’t we reconvene in a years time and you ask that question again.

The only thing I recall in the Bible was Thou Shall not Kill.

Maybe I missed small print ....

Ahembultulipmmmm.
One day you will answer a question.
Expalin the paradox generated when "thou shalt NOT KILL" comes up against "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth and a life for a life".
I dont have a year to wait for you to actualy read the bible.

Oh come off it Chico ... be a teensy weensy bit reasonable at least. No one here 'pulls bits from the bible' more than you in order to attempt making a point.
