Christians:  Bible verses only sound cruel when taken out of context.

Joshua 6:21
  • Verse: "They devoted the city to the Lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, and donkeys."
Ezekiel 9:5-6
  • Verse: "As I listened, he said to the others, 'Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion. Slaughter the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children..."
Numbers 31:17-18
  • Verse: "Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man."
1 Samuel 15:3
  • Verse: "Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys."

Okay Christians, what's the context for those verses?

Howard Dean's campaign crashed because of a scream. 

Trump has:

Bragged about sexual assault
Been nearly impeached twice
Been convicted of sexual abuse 
Called immigrants animals and rapists
Supported Putin
Had a group of his supporters mob that capital
Been convicted a felon unanimously 
Committed civil fraud

The list goes on.

And yet, his supporters still idolize him, often creating elaborate stories to protect him, even when all evidence points otherwise. 

What did he do to create such loyal supporters?

What questions would you need answers to if you were to convert to Christianity?

This questions is mainly for use CatholicApologetics, though it would be great it anyone else wanted to contribute their opinion.

Grated, there is evidence for Christianity and the resurrection, but the Bible also has some pretty sexist things, as well as some messed up stuff about slavery, unbelievable stories about Noah's ark, and about the universe popping into existence, which has no scientific evidence, or how a loving god sends people to eternal suffering for being raised in a Muslim family. Not to mention all of the contradictions.

These are the main things that lead me away from the church.

The question is, how much of the bible do you think is the actual word of god, and how much of it do you think is flawed by the workings of man?

This issue has always been hard to me. I have a far lean to the pro life side, as when you strip down all the layers, abortion is killing babies. I would really like to here some pro choice arguments though to really understand both sides.

As an attempt to gain a false sense of self worth, I'd like to figure out my IQ. Are there any reliable free tests out there, or will I need to spend some money. Any recommendations?

Also, it can't give me a below average IQ, because then it would be faulty.

So obviously, didn't do too well. Not how I envisioned my first game.

I'd really like to live longer than a day, so if someone else is going to start a Mafia game some time, can you contact me?

It's a choice I recommend all of you make as well. When the space lizards take control of the planet, you want to be on their good side.

This is a question I've been thinking about recently, but honestly, I don't think there is a right answer. What are your opinions on this?

I recently just watched the matrix, and asides a lot of logic gaps, one thing really bothered me. Why was the matrix actually a bad thing? For those of you who don't know the matrix is a shared simulation just like earth, but it's fake.  Is there any reason you can think of that the movie actually has a point that living in a simulation would be a bad thing?
