People use to believe that slavery was morally okay, but not until other people defended what was right did a revolution occur that changed the world. As iron sharpens iron... so does one man sharpen another.
lol ok, you just believe what you believe, and i'll believe in nothing, continue going to grad school and being a generally good, law-abiding person, and head down that highway to hell.
Can you see the wind? No. But you can see the affects of the wind.
Yeah but wind is real and is caused by the the atmosphere balancing pressure between high pressure and low pressure zones. Nothing to do with angels with big breath standing on the four corners of the earth which happens to be spherical.
Now as for gawd, well there is no natural aka scientific explanation like wind.
Perhaps the analogy Paul used of "the wind bloweth..." flew with the illiterate of his day, you need some new analogies.

I bet your not talking about the slaves kept by your friends David, Joshua, Moses, et al.
Why did your God tell them their slaves should be obediant, rather then telling them slavery was wrong?

It's not the laws of man that save you. The God of the Bible. The God that created the world and created the YOU and ME has set the standard to salvation. The Bible states even before it spread worldwide that most people will not accept the message of the cross... in fact most people will heap abuse on people who are "Christians" because it goes against they pleasures and their likes. Jesus - a Jewish carpenter - even said though heaven and earth will pass away my worlds will never pass away... and they haven't. In fact they have be spread across the world in 100's of languages and in all forms!
do you believe that the energy we put out, we get in return?
(ie. if i'm all moody and crabby one day, that i'll be treated by people in a rude and crabby way? or if i'm happy and helpful i'll end up surrounded by happy and helpful people)
But its an abusive relationship, where one partner demands unquestioning dedication and worship from the other.
