Duh. I said the torah is the
same. It's just missing the

Jesus is in the torah? Where?

That's no answer. You know that
they were one and the same
before separating off into 2
different religions.

Why should any of it be believed
or practiced? Those objectionable
parts are not revoked somewhere
later down the road. They are still
in the bible.

Do you actually follow and believe
this book of killings. Do you not
mind that the god you've chosen
to believe in is vengeful, wrathful,
authoritarian, and fascist?

But do you actually believe in
the bible, selectively picking
out passages?

Whore? Why would I apologize for
anything regarding you the insulter.
Apologize first for Whore!! and
everything else you've ever called
me. Or does that only go one way?

If they had done it to you, I wouldn't

You either are Kashrut or not.
No inbetween. That's what you
said somewhere else, isn't it?

Where does it say to ignore the
past rules? And you can't claim
that Christ's killing atones you for
some bad things but not all.

That's your all or nothing point
of view. What's wrong with them
just following the parts they agree
with?

You're a prejudiced insulter. That's
why you have no friends.

If I was, I'd have to stone you to death
in the old testament.
