As I am apathetic and unwilling to research the bible, I would like to see a resource of bible verses that contradict the actions of current zealots.
I personally like the phrase "no man knows the mind of God". It works well in a debate when the aggressor is claiming to have priveleged knowledge about upcoming events in human developments.
Just a suggestion
Thanks, Jason.
The Patriarch replies:
Jason
I agree that a resource of verses from any scriptural tradition that contradicts the actions or words of followers of any particular religion would be useful.
I think there are several sites out there which have already done this sort of thing.
If anyone would care to compile a list of applicable links, or a list of verses, then I would be quite happy to publish it.
In this line of thought, I would point you to Ed Babinski's lengthy and well researched article dealing with the Bible's apocalyptic verses, published here this week as Meditation 801.
