>For the most part people stay in democracy because it makes them feel good. Any part of government that challenges that comfort is either ignored or explained away with some bullshit excuses like " It's not perfect but it's the best we've got" or " It's for our security". This is not limited to America, most Democracies do this.

What are some examples of the Bible where Jesus advocates stoning people?

You heard it here first! Jesus was against getting stoned! Marijuana is devil's work!

Stoning is reasonable in an age before prisons. Hangings and beheadings are shit, because they reinforce the feeling of the state as Other.

Yeah dude! Stoning is fun for the whole family! Everyone gets to trow a stone and have some fun as a community while keeping criminals at bay!

[Anonymous No.6619303]

Doesn't the Bible just refer to stoning as a reasonable punishment because there weren't any other methods to punish people? As in, if the Bible says 'this is punishable by stoning', it doesn't necessarily mean that we should still literally stone somebody that does the thing but still punish them? I think a lot of the 'law' books have punishments that were appropriate for the time but are now archaic.

Stoning was supposed to shed no blood, and if you look into the OT, God considers blood to be holy, especially human blood, so stoning would not shed any of this holy juice in a way

The community should participate in punishment where practical. Stoning is no longer practical, but it was then. This makes the entire process of crime and punishment part of the community's interest and solidarity, rather than some terrifying behemoth lording over the community.

[Anonymous No.6619341]

What about the stoning? Jesus is pretty clear on the matter:

"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

>implying I feel good knowing my soul is eternally damned
>implying I feel good knowing that I'm already dead and this is hell

There is no other explanation other than the life that I'm experiencing right now is actually just punishment for the life I've lived before. I mean, in no sensible, non-punishment-based existence would I have to suffer through reading such a stupid fucking opinion. On top of that, it's an opinion with zero logical base. I've come to the conclusion that even though there are probably millions of parallel existences filled with murderers and rapists burning and experiencing blood-curdling torture, this particular purgation of continuously having to read brain cancer levels of cranial pain inducing statements like that post is worse than all of them.

The Jewish laws (the old covenant) don't apply to Christians, because Jesus dissolved that shit and instituted the New Covenant.

It's why Christians don't cut their dicks off, eat pork, etc.

[ΟΥΤΙΣ No.6619425]

>>6619412
Deutronomy is old covenant. The new covenant is about a prophecy in Isaih, which entails the Messiah, the Prince of Peace, God, being born of a virgin and being put to death for humanity's sins. That act allows for a new covenant which isn't just for Jews, but all nations, and which has a new law not written on scrolls, but on "the hearts of men". Christians consider themselves a part of this new covenant, not the old one, and Paul says if you get circumcised by your own will, you are signing the old covenant and forfeiting your part in the new one Christ made.

I'm not even Christian and I disagree with you. The irony is that you're using a Christian morality to criticize the pre-Christian part of the book which ultimately led to your holding such views.

>you have to own all of it if you're a christian,
According to whom? The oldest churches certainly don't believe this. The idea you're referencing is in fact a relatively recent invention. It seems most nonbelievers are actually fundamentalists without the belief in God, because you people think rural American Protestantism is the end all be all of Christian theology.

[Anonymous No.6619479]

Jesus fucking Christ.

None of Genesis happened. The Exodus never happened, and Moses may or may not have existed but he sure as shit never wrote the torah. None of Joshua or Judges happened - Israelite society emerged peacefully from Canaanites. Deuteronomy was "discovered" by King Josiah in order to promote a version of yhwh worship where Jerusalem was the only acceptable place for sacrifice. David and Solomon probably existed but they were nothing like their biblical counterparts. The list of people in Kings is fairly accurate but it's theology disguised as history.

Jesus was a failed apocalyptic prophet who got himself crucified and his followers hallucinated his return. The gospels are based on oral stories that were written down something like 30-60 years after his death, and they all present different conceptions of Jesus.

Paul never met Jesus and got all of his information from a vision. The original apostles who actually met Jesus hated him and thought his abolishment of Jewish law was bullshit.

Revelation is about Rome and Nero Caesar.

There you go.

'It's not perfect...' is more than what most Christians are willing to admit about their religion.
Besides it isn't that easy to just leave democracy. There's pros and cons and I personally have thought critically about Democracy before.
It's also different to just accept the government and ruling powers as they are, than to believe in something with all your heart.
