Perhaps we should look at the Bible, hey, Yadda? Would you like that? All the instructions that you and your fellow Christians are supposed to obey about unbelievers and your treatment of them?
How about Luke 19:27
Quote: But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me.’”
That is
the LAST LINE of a parable, told by Jesus.
Here are
the FIRST TWO LINES of that parable, told by Jesus.
Luke 19:11
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
The lesson of that parable is;
We ought to fear God. ...if we 'believe' in God [and in God's righteousness].
And persons who are atheists, ....
they don't have to fear anything.
Yadda said.....

2 Chronicles 15:12-13
Quote:And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul, but that whoever would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.
Deuteronomy 17:1-20
Quote:“You shall not sacrifice to the Lord your God an ox or a sheep in which is a blemish, any defect whatever, for that is an abomination to the Lord your God. “If there is found among you, within any of your towns that the Lord your God is giving you, a man or woman who does what is evil in the sight of the Lord your God, in transgressing his covenant, and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun or the moon or any of the host of heaven, which I have forbidden, and it is told you and you hear of it, then you shall inquire diligently, and if it is true and certain that such an abomination has been done in Israel, then you shall bring out to your gates that man or woman who has done this evil thing, and you shall stone that man or woman to death with stones. ..
.
Shall we go on? Why aren't you obeying your Bible's instructions, Yadda? Are you a bad Christian? Tsk, tsk.
brian,
If i were AN ANCIENT ISRAELITE i would fear my God.
...
and i would do everything i could, to keep to the terms of THE COVENANT which i had entered into, with my God.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
But.....
I do not live in a society, which existed 3,000 years ago,
and i am not AN ANCIENT ISRAELITE.
But i do fear my God.

Jeremiah 31:31
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Micah 6:8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
