Hmm, so it's OK for you to perceive things under a different light, but
not others? I don't understand....
Perhaps you're the one who's blind, and you should listen to those of us
trying to open your eyes. ;-)

it was before the covenant, because He saw what too much free will made to
people.

Apparently he got it wrong, because we still have "too much" free will
(whatever that means).
And, of course, then there's the little matter of the Rapture...

Wow. I haven't been paying much attention to this thread. Juicy little
bit of arguing and squabbling going on here.
You can't have it both ways can you? If someone is doing something they
genuinely think is helpful to others, how is it determined that it's a
ticket to heaven or hell? Is it as arbitrary as if they do things your
way, you go to heaven, if they do things some other way, it's straight
to hell. Or are you one of those who believe the only path to heaven is
to be "saved" regardless of what you do while you're on earth?
For some reason I all the sudden have the urge to play the song "Highway
to hell" ... ;)

Well, mechanical devices don't evolve because they're not alive. It's
very difficult to have darwinian evolution without birth and death and
genetics and such.
But if you set up an ecosystem with gears and hands and weights and
rachets and things like that, and apply selection pressure for accurate
watches, suddenly you get pretty accurate watches evolving.

It's not feature creep if you put it

Yep. And all the carvings on the cathedral where Jesus is guesturing to
Satan (who surprisingly looks *just* like Loki, Pan, and Bacchus) to
drag the unbelievers off in chains to hell? That's just decoration.

Actually, he quite demanded an awful lot of blood sacrifices. They were
the only way to cleanse sin before Jesus came along. And of course, once
you get into *human* sacrifice, and even diecide, then *finally* he's
satisfied to just take your soul and not your life.

Cause, like, being omnicient and all, he didn't foresee that.

Do you know who Abraham Lincoln was? George Washington? Adolph Hitler?
