It's not what you believe but what you believe to believe in.

Reason's greetings to you too, Narly! glad to see you cite Numbers 31--it was one of the final keys to my religious skepticism. Just couldn't see how a
supposedly benevolent creator of the universe could sanction, even encourage, such carnage, especially of innocent people and animals. Of course, it's
just one of many such atrocities, but one that really stuck with me at the time I was first investigating the "dark side" of the bible. Another one
is the whole killing of the first-born in Egypt. Innocent kids killed because of the stubbornness of the Pharoh (after god "hardened his heart"
against releasing the Israelites, making it god's fault, not the Pharoh's). Murdering all those babies! Why do fundies not go crazy over that the way
they do over abortion?

Made no since to me at all. I've asked a few bible thumping seemingly intelligent people about this whole thing. Funny thing is most of them don't give it any thought to the matter at all. To them this GOD is a being that is not bound by any moral bonds at all. In fact he can do what ever he so pleases and we the creation must accept his atrosities. But the funny thing is about Numbers [31:00] Everything is killed off because of this extraspecial group of people were some how a sore in this GODs eye. BUt After you get into this with a Bible thumper, you can point out the small little fact that there was some people saved from this wrath. I find it a perfect thumb print of man that only the young vergin women were salvaged. Oldly, these women that had vergin female babies were not saved. LOL But they would grow to be vergin ladies. LOL, So to me it's quite obvious that the Moses Him self was taking a bit of the ill gotten booty useing a religis cloak to dagger a people. Not surprizing. But You won't ever hear a Preacher preaching that verse!!! In fact I have uncovered a ver. of the book that's cut out the virgin coveting part. DOH! G why cut that part out? blah blah, My post starting this thread was a tirade, sorry. 8-) hehehe
