Like I said, I'm not one who follows the Bible.

Can you change your verbiage for somebody who does not read that book?

yes I can!
moral reform.
ethical conduct.
mutual respect.
what do not want for me I do not do to others. (if such conduct were global, we would not have more wars)
all religions claim that, but men do as he pleases.

All religions say this I understand. Live life good, not bad. Positive and not negative. I get that.

To keep on the topic- Do all religions say death is an acceptable punishment for mocking the Lord or only the bible and this Elisha is jeered story?

LOL, that explanation of what "little children" means...

death is not a punishment!
there is no eternal punishment.
yes there is repair of faults committed (law of cause and effect)
death is the return of the spirit to your home world.

edit
Most people prefer to believe in eternal punishment, sin, etc ...
is a selfish point of view, because only a few will be saved.
believing in a Creator perfect in all attributes, it will never happen.
have every opportunity to evolve morally and intellectually.
we call it perfect justice, kindness and mercy.

Who wrote the New International Version of the Bible and thought it was best to use " Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys." as the best way to describe how best to live life?


The nut jobs who wrote this stuff must of been on some awesome drugs.

do you not see how horrifyingly dangerous this line of thinking is =_= ?

So you are saying this for people who believe in heaven and hell?

If you believe that a spirit is eternal, not.
what a carnal existence for an eternity?



that is a belief punitive

Life is a privilege, granted by God, if you abuse said privilege you can be killed for the offense. I don't find that terribly problematic.
