Thank you very much. This is really interesting. I've never heard of this. I tried to thank you via rep but it's too soon to re-rep, etc. so will just thank you here.

And I would contend that you think too highly of man. Open your eyes and look at what man is capable of doing to each other -- with or without religion.

Sorry, Dude. God never commanded man to go forth and sin.

He encouraged, indeed - he ordered - men to kill and rape.

He set the example for being inhumane.

Although Vizio's god had a commandment against killing, apparently that didn't matter as far as his people were concerned.

And from Vizio's god's perspective, rape was not a sin. At least it certainly isn't talked about that way in the Bible.
