That would be easy to argue against, I feel, but I dunno how far you want to stray from the topic at hand.

If you could point out those verses/chapters that would be marvelous. That said, it seems Jesus advocated a fairly strict literal interpretation of the old law.

On of my best friends is the biggest atheist ever, and we still get along. Thing is though I was like this before I met him. I dunno, my personality type dictates that I am very logically minded and unsubjective.

You sound like the majority of Atheists that I chose to interact with in my personal life, sans god-talk.

By "in part" I meant he had other purposes like dying for our sins and what have you. There's a reason Jesus spoke in parables; theres some verse or another about it. Theres even this chapter somewhere where he explains a parable of his, which is ice because it's a lot of help in figuring his other parables out.

it's all good. I figured sooner or later someone would think that. I'm just glad you're taking my word for it.

You said "at least in part". but much of Jesus' teaching was in parable, which is not exactly easy to decipher

What makes you think they weren't fully clarified.

but if he was god, then why didn't he FULLY clarify the laws? You sound like me just before I left christianity.

Also, let me clarify that me assuming you weren't a Theist was a compliment. At least in the online medium, it is rare that I find a Theist who doesn't bash or attempt to convert us heathens to your ways. I like you. I'm just doing what Atheists are expected to do. Remember, we don't have morals. ;)

I'm a chick. Yes, I'm subscribed to you and I think I made the comment that you're too cute to believe in God or that your hair is too cool. Seeing your previous comment, I am enlightened. You're just not a fundie.

Actually, God pretty much DID fix the mistake through Jesus; as he said, 'people misunderstand gods laws'. Jesus did say he came down, at least in part, to clarify Gods laws. And yes I call myself a Christian, but more specifically a "Taoist & Pre-Constantine Christian with notable Gnostic leanings".

Are you the same guy that said the same thing on one of my vids? For one, I can assure you, I am a Theist and a Christian. Another thing, I know I am intentionally humorous in some respects, but I'm not when it comes to the bare bones of it. This begs the question: Is the stuff I argue actually funny to you? Other than the humorous embellishments?
