Oh, come on. The Old Testament is not nearly that bloody.

I don't expect everyone to play nice, I'm talking about curbing wasteful spending on pointless warfare. Also, our military wouldn't be what is preventing outright invasion of our allies. I'm sure our nukes are better at doing that, as ground wars have winners, while nuclear wars probably won't.

Total spending is a horrible point of comparison. You think it costs the same to pay for and America soldier as a Russian one?
Human Resource costs in the US are many times higher.
The cost of 1 US troop is far higher than a Russian one (where wages are very low).

Actually in terms of military spending per GDP the US is not that high.
And nuclear deterrence has severe limitations. Would you really sacrifice New York to save Kiev?
Of course not. So with nuclear weapons you have nothing to stop a limited conventional ground attack that you are not willing to start nuclear war to stop.

Temple State reminds me more of that "Traditionalism" fellow who used to post here. You know, the one who used to go on about Evola and the "spiritual caste system." That guy was some kind of dissenting Protestant, however, whereas Temple State claims to be one of yours.

Well, I call him Christian Amin because he inadvertently is trying to destroy Christianity's reputation on this site.

You obviously don't understand what bankers do. Who are they swindling? The internal finance teams of Fortune 500 companies?

As opposed to the overwhelming majority of pagan gods; who were capricious, vindictive and generally went out of their way to harm their own people?
God is pretty benevolent by comparison, and considering how he sacrificed himself on a cross to redeem humanity, I'd say that our enslavement is the last thing on his mind.

How much ancient Greeks and Romans interpreted myths literally is debatable. Lots of classical philosophers criticized Homer and Hesiod for attributing immoral actions to the gods, probably mostly famously Plato who thought that Homer ought to be banished from his ideal republic. There's not much in common between the Iliad's Zeus and the Stoic's.Imperium Romanum Sanctis wrote:God is pretty benevolent by comparison, and considering how he sacrificed himself on a cross to redeem humanity, I'd say that our enslavement is the last thing on his mind.

You describing the ascausal interdimensional alien entity called Jawh who evidently didn do jackshit but whom managed to scare off a lot of people to do to his bidding? Yeah sure sounds familiar.Imperium Romanum Sanctis wrote:God is pretty benevolent by comparison, and considering how he sacrificed himself on a cross to redeem humanity, I'd say that our enslavement is the last thing on his mind.
If christianity would ditch the OT then we might have a different discussion here.
But given the circumstances I'd rather side with Satan in question of doubt.

Literally everyone loves to take that verse out of context.
Read it in it's original chapter. The sword isn't a real sword, but rather a sword of division between people as some come to accept Christ and others don't.
