I agree completely and you make an important observation that I had not completely considered.
My theological positions:

-God created us in His image, not the other way around.
-The Bible is redeemed by it's good parts.
-Pure monotheism, simple repentance.
-YHVH is LORD
-The real Jesus is not God, the real YHVH is not a monster.
-Eternal life is a gift from the Living God.
-Keep the Commandments, keep your salvation.
-I have accepted YHVH as my Heavenly Father, LORD and Savior.

I am inspired by Jesus to worship none but YHVH, and to serve only Him.

A well written post. You have accurately and coherently described a lot of what Christianity teaches.

Thus, what God once supposedly said or ordered may no longer hold true. Right?

If so, God may have changed his mid about many things in the twenty centuries since biblical times. Agreed?
This is a real possibility isn't it? God may have changed is mind on a lot of very important details. If God is that fickle how can he be relied upon at all?

Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.

Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.

There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.

It all just seems so darn obvious. How come Christians don't see it?

Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.

I'm not sure FTK will see your response as FTK seems to have disappeared, but you nicely ripped apart his/her (and other creationsists) usual tactics of deflection, denial, and lack of evidence. Bravo.

Imagine, 2500 years after a round, heliocentric Earth was discovered. With many many supporting and re-enforcing phenomenon, people still believe what a book written by goat-herders wrote over their own eyes...
I will never understand how someone who claims to know the ultimate truth, of God, believes they deserve respect, when they cannot distinguish it from a fairy-tale.

You know, science and logic are hard: Religion and fairy tales might be more your speed.

To continue to argue for the Hebrew invention of God is actually an insult to the very concept of a God. - Divine Insight
