Kobojunkie:
Morality in our DNA? Who sold you that dirty stash you are smoking there?

OdefaGirl:
I believe we have women in the two Chambers..... those who can remember what it feels to be separated from hubby unjustly. Nigeria is a failed state.

OdefaGirl:
We can not continue like this.....if we will ever attain the Nigeria of our dreams, we have to put aside all these babaric acts that keep holding us down.

Hope the Senate and Honourable members would do something.

God is truly mighty, see as atheists keep hallucinating about someone they claim does not exist.

TheMadame:
Education. Many of us attended missionary schools.
Like I said don't throw away the baby with the bath water even if religion has its evident flaws that can mostly be attributed to the leadership.

TheMadame:
Without prejudice to your points you do not throw away the baby with the bath water. Religion and the bible do have their uses and have shaped civilisations.

DrLiveLogic:
No. And god never told anyone they need a book to determine right and wrong. The conscience does that. And just as you believe in a conscience you can't see, it is possible to realise god without seeing him.
The reason for giving laws is that laws on a paper are like a document that's untampered with. However, just like you are imperfect, and imperfection affects your memory, intelligence and all. So does your imperfection tamper with your conscience, hence the need for a document for universal reference

SmartyPants:
Did I ask about the thread?

I quoted a specific post and we have engaged on that so you must be feigning ignorance if you claim not to understand that I'm saying that I'm not sure what your point is with respect to why you have referenced the particular story as evidence of alleged misogyny when the story may be about misogynistic behavior without promoting but rather condemning such.

SmartyPants:
I don't think you get it. The fact is, the event happened. It's not narrated so that people will go out there and replicate it, it's simply a narration of something that actually happened. Neither is it there as an example of something positive. In fact it is told as an example of how degenerate the people of that area were. Their actions were condemned.

When you say the preacher should condemn the story and not the actions of those in the story which, are you saying it should not be included in the Bible? That some part of history is not pleasant means it should be untold?

Not sure I get your point.

SmartyPants:
Are you able to understand that the Bible contains both a collection of instructions and narrations of events?

Now what do you expect a preacher to say about this particular story?

LordReed:
It is instructive that until the only records of religious war are in relation to Abrahamic religions.

Missyajoke:

So how does it affect you.
Its joblessness that's making you to search for sermons now. Seems you're jobless.
