I don't see how that second paragraph helps. Not when the Bible defines "love" as the way God treats us.

Ah, but you're reading in context with the rest of the Bible. Try taking your brain out so you can read this paragraph alone while ignoring all the bad or contradictory stuff around it. Then you're thinking like a fundie.Darth Wong wrote:I don't see how that second paragraph helps. Not when the Bible defines "love" as the way God treats us.
I still can't figure out how the worldview which allows people to come up with this shit also allows a female to write a book about it.
I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

That's a good point. The Bible is, of course, contradictory on what "love" is: see I Cor. 13, and we all know how that compares with God's treatment of us.Darth Wong wrote:I don't see how that second paragraph helps. Not when the Bible defines "love" as the way God treats us.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.
