- You mean when he teaches us that you can kill people who disobey you? And
- you can kill their children too? And you can kill their animals too?
- Or when he teaches us that lying is ok as long as it's a "test" <wink>
- <wink>? Or that offering your daughters to rape gangs is a wonderful
- thing to do?
-
- Tell me Suzanne, if you were in Lot's position, would you hand over your
- daughter to a rape gang to "save" an angel of god?

-
- OK Suzanne, tell us why "what is right is right". You infer there is no
- explanations given in the OT. I assume there is a different reason than
- the OT reason I read: Because god said so.
-
- Please enlighten us with your biblical scholarship.
