No one can claim that the Golden Rule is a Christian thing... all they can say is that is it a Christian thing, too.

Sure we can. It is in the Bible.

Every religion, philosophy, way of life touches on the same concept.

Did you ever stop and think that the God who created all that there is was the source?

[classyT]

I'm not here searching for Religion... or Faith.

And trust me, when I am searching, I am not looking to men.



But I LOVE this:



:O NO WAY!! Hahah

Hey, just trying to be nice and state the truth. I'm not sure why that is so funny to you.. but hey.. enjoy!

[michealb]

Exactly, and thus in practice the reality is the opposite of your theory.

Seriously Tj3 even I don't think you are that stupid.

Heh heh heh, you don't take disagreement well, do you?

[michealb]

It is one thing if you disagree with me it is another when you try to take things out of context and twist them to prove your right.

You gave us all a good example of how the atheists use the golden rule when faced with disagreement, Michael. :D

Ah yes, back to the "god created everything" response. Circular reasoning at its best. LOL!

Really? I already posted a great deal of evidence for that very fact. You wouldn't just be rejecting all the evidence because you don't want to believe that it is true, would you?

Perhaps you would post your evidence against God having created everything.

[excon]

What is the Golden rule?

Hello spit:

"Him that has the gold, makes the rules".

Since I have some gold, I'm making the rules. Here they are; I've been reading... Holy smokes! You guys HATE each other. That' ain't cool. So, put that hate on me. I'll take your sins upon myself. You are now free to love again. Go forth and multiply.

What? A Jewish carpenter can't offer an opinion?

TJ,
Dude, I'm only talking about the golden rule i.e. the topic of this thread. You seemed to have rejected the evidence I have posted in this thread. I have no idea what evidence you are referring to.

NK,

You sdaid that saying that God created everything is circular reasoning thus denying that it happened. Now you are backtracking on that when asked for validation of your claim, it seems.

I have seem no evidence to accept or reject. Where is this evidence? I would be more than happy to look at it if I inadvertently missed it - just post the link or repost the evidence again.

I saw that. So what do you think that this is evidence of and what are you trying to prove?

Once again, don't make vague comments - say what you mean.

[inthebox]

The golden rules was wellknown long before the first letter was ever started on the first Bible chapter.
The reality is that the golden rules comes not from the bible. The bible just accepted it as a valid and sound way of life guideline.
The golden rule is NOT some form of property of Christianity.
Atheists have - just as all other people - used the golden rule to live a proper , prosperous, and safe life.
Atheists did not abuse the golden rule for their own views. Many christians however abused - and still abuse - the golden rule to support their own religious delusions.

Believe whatever you prefer, but at least accept that others may have different views !
Why can't so many "christians" show more respect for other world views, and drop all their apparent feelings of hatred and revenge?


.

You contradict yourself by implying that Christians have religious delusions, then go on about showing more respect for other world views.

The word of God, the bible expects more than just the golden rule!

Matthew 5:

38"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'[g] 39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor[h] and hate your enemy.' 44But I tell you: Love your enemies[i]

Romans 12:

14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

17Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"[d]says the Lord. 20On the contrary:
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."[e] 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Sorry mate, I don't know how to dumb it down, I find it quite self-explanatory. I guess we'll just leave it at that.

Have a great day!

NK.

[Alty]

Agreed. I would love to see him follow the golden rule, aned to prove us wrong!

I'm going to pipe in and I hope that Cred is okay with me sharing this story.

When I first came to this site I butted heads with Cred like you wouldn't believe. If we were on the same thread together it would eventually be closed because we would fight like cats and dogs.

One day, after months of fighting with each other, I sent Cred a PM and asked if we could let by gones be by gones and start fresh. He didn't hesitate to accept what I offered and since then we have been very civil to each other, in fact, I consider him a friend.

If he's really as hateful as you all think, how do we both manage to get along? I believe in God, he doesn't, yet we are both kind to each other. Why? Because we're both good people.

Doesn't the bible say, judge no lest you be judged?

[classyT]

Alty,

I am not judging Cred. He brought up the Golden Rule thingy. I as giving him the opportunity to use it. He has been rude to me from day one.. I thought it was because I was a Christian.. but apparently it is because he THINKs I am someone named SassyT. I have assured him several times that I am not and I think since he brought up the whole Golden Rule stuff... he should man up and apologize to me. But if he doesn't... I will survive. I just think if he DOESN'T... His thread will make no sense and simply prove that he in fact does NOT follow the "golden rule". Regardless of whether it came about before Jesus or after.
