[QUOTE=boxcar;2352047]But even with the 100 or so denominations, in many cases the differences in doctrine are relatively minor. For example, Baptists believe in baptism by immersion; whereas, Presbyterians believe in baptism by sprinkling. Or again, Baptists believe in believer's only baptism once someone comes to saving faith; whereas Presbyterians, because of the views they have of the relationship between the Old and New Covenants, hold to covenantal baptism of infants which to their mind is analogous to Old Covenant circumcision of male babies, etc., etc.
None of these differences, in my opinion, are serious; for they do not impact the Gospel or any Rule for Living. (Just as a personal aside, I hold to the traditional Baptist view of baptism, but I attend a conservative Presbyterian church.)[Quote]
I didn't get through it all, but I hope you didn't ignore the snake handler sects.

If the Tower of Babel upset God then the moon landings must have really pissed him off.

What Light doesn't know is that in Noah's day the earth was so filled with violence that parents could have been eating their kids for lunch, and yet his panties are all in a wad over the separation of kids from adults for the kids' own protection and safety.

Nothing to do with Obama. You are politicizing this because you can't separate politics from what is right.
FYI I never voted for Obama and denounced many things he did including making the left think he is cool. He wasn't. He killed innocent people as well which I knew he would do which is why I didn't vote for him.

You can't get a better defense than God created the floods because maybe people were canalizing their own kids? Of all the idiotic things you have ever said that is far and away the most idiotic.

Where did Boxcar get that "cannibalism" idea? Is it in scripture?

Why would you denounce anything that anyone would do since your god loves everything everyone does no matter what. Haven't you heard that your god is love, love is god, your god is love, love is god, etc., etc., etc.? Your god loves everyone regardless of what they do. You should too, and get off your sanctimonious, holier-than-thou high horse, already. What makes you think that your god loves you any more than anyone else in this world? Your god's unconditional love doesn't discriminate.
You really need to get over yourself. 
P.S. Also your "best friend" once said, "Judge not and ye shall not be judged." You've been waxing awfully judgmental lately. You need to learn to love just like your god.

Actually, I did. You don't pay attention too swell, do you? A few days ago, I cited several OT passages that tell us that the ancient Israelites roasted their little kiddies in an open fire when offering them to their demon gods. It was typical in the ANE that such offerings would then later be eaten.

Not so idiotic. (See my post to Thask). A few days ago, I said that the Israelites might have actually emulated the practice of cannibalism from their antediluvian ancestors. After all, Genesis 6 tells us that the earth was filled with violence. I would think that roasting people alive in the fire and then dining on them later would be considered violent, do you?

And yet...God picked those same Israelites as his "chosen people". Boggles the mind...

It might boggle your mind but God still successfully accomplished his plan of redemption for the entire world through Israel from whom came the Messiah. As scripture says, salvation is indeed from the Jews!
God redefines "irony, doesn't he?

Can you cite any archeological evidence that early man was cannibalistic?
