The Bible use's emoticons.

So this thread was closed and then reopened wth is going on here

If everyone actually did what the bible said the world would be a much better place.

If everyone loved thy neighbor and treated others as we would like to be treated the world would be great

Thats a bit of a naive idea though isnt it everyone believeing in the same thing

Not trying to start something, just pointing out fact. We are talking about the same book that had Mose's army kill all men, children and non-virgins and rape all virgins when they took cities from the Mennonites as they wondered through the desert.

Many militaries would have a bad rep if that was standard practice.
 
What do you mean?

that its a bit naive to think the world would be a much better place if everyone just followed the same thing and was told what to do and what not to do by religion . Simply following a relgiion would not make all of the worlds problems suddenly dissapear

in fact if anything religion just makes even more problems in the world

and i mean why should the whole world follow the bible what about the Quran or the Torah or the Guru Granth sahib just to name a few
 
muz, I guess you disagree with this part of David's statement:

If everyone loved thy neighbor and treated others as we would like to be treated the world would be great

I believe that's a statement that even atheists can agree with.

I dont so much disagrfee with it more then think that it is a completely unrealistic aim for the world , and slightly naive to think that everyone loving thir neighbour is how all of the worlds problems are going to get solved .On a small scale yes it can solve a lot of personal problems treating your friends and familly well but on a worldwide scale its completely unrealistic
So to sum it up i think its a great ideal but one which can never be achieved
