Debate:Does the Bible display poor ethics and morals? (view source)
Revision as of 17:47, April 17, 2007
, 17:47, April 17, 2007There is good and bad in all of us
i think it's only fair to point out that the ten commandments were only intended to apply to other jews (judaism being the religion of moses tribe) therefore Thou shalt not kill, means thou shalt not kill other jews (or christians) and so on. what the bible basically says is that you can do anything to someone who is not of your religion, and that there is nothing morally wrong with that. in todays multicultural society that is obviously not an accebtable source of morals. {{unsigned|Bolly Ottihw}}

:It's really "yes and no" but I'll post here.
:The Bible puts on display the poor ethics and morals of a number of people. The first that comes to mind is King Herod. Some of the ancient Egyptian kings were pretty bad, too. Then there was the king who wanted Abram's wife and was going to kill him to get her. I tell that one in Sunday School, whenever the kids get too rowdy to pay attention to theological stuff. The good examples of [[Ruth]] and [[Esther]] make the little girls sit up and pay attention, too. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 13:47, 17 April 2007 (EDT)
