| Why? This is a good, open discussion. If you want to seperate it from this topic, than ask a moderator to split the thread. Otherwise I'm continuing the disussion here. |

| I agree. Even though religion is a touchy subject, we should be open to discussion about it. I do think that this thread has evolved into a different discussion than was originally inteneded, but a Moderator should weigh in and make the decision. |

It would greatly help to control the people, and if the people were told that these rules come from God, well, they're going to start paying attention and following the rules.
Even if they're being disillusioned, you could argue that their sharded beliefs helped the society to progress in a positive diretion. |
What is communism then? God never sought to control humanity. He simply wanted the best for them. That's all. Even communism cannot unite a country, and all communist countries have their own shared beliefs. What do they have? Rebellions and guerillas.
Although we see and hear that "God said this" in the Bible, many still disregard it. Just because it "came from God" does not mean everyone chooses to believe. If you say that, then you may as well say that because America has "in God we trust" on American money means that all American people are Christians. Like belief does not equal social togetherness.
In that same way, all the people in that desert did not choose to follow God or anything outlined in the Bible. Up until now, people are still worshiping idols and other gods.

It isn't religion to me...it's just a matter of understanding what my Heavenly Father wants of me and for me  |

| RG: No society will ever be perfect. Likewise, no religion will ever be perfect. Not every American believes that "In God we trust". Not every American believes in the national anthem. Case in point: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/12/10-year-old-wont-pledge-a_n_355709.htmlI believe in freedom of religion, so I have no problems with people worshipping Gods other than the Christian God. A: Don't worry about it, there's nothing wrong with a good debate. |

My point precisely. I believe humans should have as much freedom as they desire. But I still believe in only one path to God, and that is through the salvation by grace through Jesus Christ. If I had to, I would die for that belief. I wouldn't kill for it, though._________________ Don't judge my absence of closeness for distaste of you.

I'm glad that even though our religious beliefs differ, we share a common belief regarding free will. Good talking to you, RocketGirl. |
