Then why didn't God/Jesus say that in the OT? Why would God/Jesus need to change his mind?

Funny because it's true.I like your metaphor of studying message board kooks like lab rats
Anonymous forums are a great way to study certain demographics since, like the maxim "a drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts", such forums provide an avenue for people to post unfiltered. They can be their innermost selves.....a target rich environment when studying nutjobs. LOL

not sure.
but better late than never.
Jesus wasn't in the OT to say it. he was the star of the sequel.

I'm "not sure" either, but I have an explanation that makes a lot of sense....
Jesus/God are the same entity.

is that an atheist belief?
and that doesn't explain anything about the diffences Jesus implemented.
I think god realized he was being too mean and sent Jesus to update the contract.
this is christianity 101.
For example, a fundy Christian biblical literalist can be inferred to have very little education in their lives.Funny because it's true.

While the angry atheist can be inferred to be someone who is curiously angry with Christianity because of some traumatic experience with the church as a teenager or young adult.

Agreed. Unfiltered, people reveal a lot about themselves through their perceptions, bias and likes.

I'm an atheist and so far I'm not angry with any of the believers of any of the allowable Global religions. I like Fairy Tales as much as the next person. Would I base the future trajectory of my life on men who can walk on water and raise folk from the dead? Of course not.

If you were prevented from misrepresenting others, you wouldn't be able to carry on with your end of the discussion.
Enjoy your religion.
Whether you're an atheist or not Jesus of Nazareth is the most important person in the history of western civilization, the Bible is the most important and influential literature in Western history, and the West's culture, music, art, social ethos, ethical history, education, hospitals, and science were profoundly influenced or even created by Christianity.
Attempting to sweep two thousand years of Western history under the rug with intentionally demeaning comments like fairytales, sky daddies, superstitions doesn't cut the mustard.
You, me, and nearly everyone on this board is the product of a Judeo-Christian civilization, and whether we admit it to ourselves or not, we have smuggled a cultural and ethical Christian ethos into our personal zeitgeist to one degree or other.

not really.
rejecting academic institutional lies is a sign of THE HIGHEST intelligence, dumbfuck follower.
or someone who hates goodness and morality.
there ya go.
this is a superior framing of the entire issue.

Like most theists, most atheists are like you; minding their own business.
A review of this and similar threads will reveal to you that the problem isn't regular people minding their own business. It's the extremists, be they Bible-thumpers or militant atheists, who are the problem.
FWIW, I don't believe in miracles, only probability. Jus' sayin'.
There is nothing to be gained by getting mad at college just because you didn't go.

judeo-christianity isn;t a thing.
this a Franken-Christ creation born of an a psychotic union between British Israelism and "Messianic Judaism".

all the Bible scholars still get confused about the moral center of christianity:
the golden rule.
they hate goodness and so do you.
you're all corrupt demons.

The same is true of fundamentalist neutrino worshipers; they rarely even understand that singulars are not plurals or that "inferred" is not interchangeable with "assumed".
What about the atheists who aren't angry?
You are still logically inept.
Jesus H. Christ. So many words...no improvement.
Here, let me help you. You wrote: "I haven't withdrawn anything. The two changes I made to the ten Commandments made it more relevant today than when God made it. That is the problem that you insist on ignoring, for reasons that are obvious."
Here is how I would have written that bolded part. You may see it as an improvement or you may consider your phrasing to be superior:
The two changes I made to the Ten Commandments made it more relevant today than when your supposed "god" wrote them.
So...does your rendition do greater justice to your position...or does mine?

I hope you realize how ridiculous that sounds.

it;s actually an excellent summary of the teaching.
dispensationalism is made up bullshit, made up by an englishman named Darby.
