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.

"If somehow you think we aren't discussing a creator, I think you should re-read the OP. It's by a respectable poster."

I'm sometimes very very cheap...

But at least you made me chuckle, there.
Good job.

Exactly. Especially your second and third paragraphs here. I have been trying to say the same thing for a few years now, but you said it far more eloquently, far more elegantly than I have.
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.

Excellent point, the prophets seem to have seen it that way as well. (There are Bible verses to support your contention here, Micah, 6.6-6.8, Hosea 6.6 to name just a few) Also Maimonoides taught that YHVH only tolerated blood sacrifice as a transition from paganism to true enlightened monotheism.

A fantastic example of how decent people don't love sin. You don't need to be a Christian to hate sin. And yes, what a placebo a belief in God can be in this self-loathing situation.

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.

And so the cookie crumbles.
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

Schneerson, my own go to example of how fast and how easily legends can develop, even in the modern era.
Good choice.

Well said all around. It's ironic when outsiders seem to have a fuller grasp of the theology and scripture than the insiders. (Granted I guess you were an insider at one time like myself).

Keep up the great posts!
