I think the point is to consider that if you're [generic] so upset by someone's post that it causes you to say/think hateful things about them, staying in the discussion is no longer fruitful for you.

I objectively and accurately described our ancestors' beliefs. That you wish to pretend that those descriptions are not accurate because YOU believe the same things is not my problem.

Scripture is a mirror which reflects back to a person what is in their own heart. If a person [anyone generic] sees something barbaric or angry, then that is what is in their heart.

It is a mirror that reflects a person back at himself.
Proverbs 27:19 "As in water, face to face, so, too, is the heart of one to another"


paraphrased from daqq, "It is much like a mirror: each person reveals what is in his or her own heart by what each one "sees" when reading the Living Oracles of the Word. One comes away seeing an angry or barbaric God because that is what is in the heart. Another sees something totally different depending on what is reflected from within the heart."

it has been called a potion of life or an elixir of destruction. that is determined by what a person holds in their heart, and how they read and use the scripture.

I like that even though I'm not a big scripture guy And for scripture do you just mean the Bible or scripture of other religions too?

What does your heart say when the scripture describes a god ordering pregnant women to be disemboweled and babies to have their heads bashed against bricks?
