Religious Cognitive Dissonance

Thelands post below (re: ritual animal slaughter)
Sums it all up.
The biblical wholesale slaughter of animals and sacrifices is overlooked but the butchery by anyone else of animals is somehow abbhorent??

Same as when Biblical God orders the genocide of entire nations (including women children and animals) Its somehow righteous. When someone else does it, its evil in the extreme.
Cant wrap my head around how one is right and the other is wrong...

It doesn't, don't flatter yourself. Just answering. If that's OK on a question and answer site!

While it is true that the Jews used animal sacrifices to God, other nations were using human sacrifices to placate their gods, even killing their own children.
So which was better?

[Theland]

You are merely spewing out subjective uninformed opinions. That is not helpful.

Neither, seeing as how, we are told, your God created both.

On the contrary Theland!
merely asking you for your point of view re: Bible Gods views?

I do and try to put it into the prevalent context of the time.
But now that this thread has degenerated so much, I am out and leaving you to it.
That's me finished on this thread.

//That's me finished on this thread//
Of course it is!
Don't question eh?

[vulcan42]

What degeneration?

//there is no forgiveness of sins without the shedding of blood. //

And that's acceptable. Madness, utter madness.
