Isn't is just common sense as well not to go out and KIll? Steal? Cheat with your neighbors wife or husband? Yes, us non followers of your water walker(s) would call this social responisibility. Social responsibility is an ethical ideology or theory that human beings have an obligation to act to benefit society at large.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible But God hath chosen - The fact of their being in the church at all was the result of his choice. It was owing entirely to his grace.
The foolish things - The things esteemed foolish among people. The expression here refers to those who were destitute of learning, rank, wealth, and power, and who were esteemed as fools, and were despised by the rich and the great.
To confound - To bring to shame; or that he might make them ashamed; that is, humble them by showing them how little he regarded their wisdom; and how little their wisdom contributed to the success of his cause. By thus overlooking them, and bestowing his favors on the humble and the poor; by choosing his people from the ranks which they despised, and bestowing on them the exalted privilege of being called the sons of God, he had poured dishonor on the rich and the great, and overwhelmed them, and their schemes of wisdom, with shame. It is also true, that those who are regarded as fools by the wise men of the world are able often to confound those who boast of their wisdom; and that the arguments of plain people, though unlearned except in the school of Christ; of people of sound common sense under the influence of Christian principles, have a force which the learning and talent of the people of this world cannot gainsay or resist. They have truth on their side; and truth, though dressed in a humble garb, is more mighty than error, though clothed with the brilliancy of imagination, the pomp of declamation, and the cunning of sophistry.
And the weak things - Those esteemed weak by the people of the world.
The mighty - The great; the noble; the learned.

1:26-31 God did not choose philosophers, nor orators, nor statesmen, nor men of wealth, and power, and interest in the world, to publish the gospel of grace and peace. He best judges what men and what measures serve the purposes of his glory. Though not many noble are usually called by Divine grace, there have been some such in every age, who have not been ashamed of the gospel of Christ; and persons of every rank stand in need of pardoning grace. Often, a humble Christian, though poor as to this world, has more true knowledge of the gospel, than those who have made the letter of Scripture the study of their lives, but who have studied it rather as the witness of men, than as the word of God. And even young children have gained such knowledge of Divine truth as to silence infidels. The reason is, they are taught of God; the design is, that no flesh should glory in his presence. That distinction, in which alone they might glory, was not of themselves. It was by the sovereign choice and regenerating grace of God, that they were in Jesus Christ by faith. He is made of God to us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption; all we need, or can desire. And he is made wisdom to us, that by his word and Spirit, and from his fulness and treasures of wisdom and knowledge, we may receive all that will make us wise unto salvation, and fit for every service to which we are called. We are guilty, liable to just punishment; and he is made righteousness, our great atonement and sacrifice. We are depraved and corrupt, and he is made sanctification, that he may in the end be made complete redemption; may free the soul from the being of sin, and loose the body from the bonds of the grave. And this is, that all flesh, according to the prophecy by Jeremiah, Jer 9:23-24, may glory in the special favour, all-sufficient grace, and precious salvation of Jehovah.

History lesson.
Moses was Egyptian, Moses wrote the 10 commandments ( twice ? ), the 10 commandments are identical to the Egyptian book of the dead moral practices.
You do not have to be a CSI detective to realise they did not come from a burning bush.

And I know I'm funny but this topic isn't even fun for me anymore. It's Tosh and his wise azz remarks, versus us speaking what we feel and him remarking with wise azz comments. It's old for me. I know you see things the way he does JA...That's why you love his comments. Laugh on kiddo!

You do not have to be a CSI detective to realise they did not come from a burning bush. And we don't have to be CSI detectives to see you aren't open on any discussion about God existing. So be it! Carry on Lord of the Rings! LMAO

Survival, creating a safe environment to live in is a survival tool, we need each other to reproduce.
Creating a society where the worst suffering is inflicted on the most number of people is bad for all concerned, it would be like an extinction plan.
Human well being is rational.

The reference point has to be true, no point in starting on the premise that 36 " is 4 feet because an old dusty book says so.
Your assumption the bible is a true reference point is unfounded.

Nope, lack of evidence or reason to support it is historically true, I do not accept a book is true because it says it is true.

Provide me the evidence or a reason to believe the bible is true, should not be too difficult.
I have researched it fully, it contains a lot of magic but no evidence.

Tosh, I cannot find anything that says Moses stole the 10 commandments from anyone else. I am well aware that Moses was Egyption, being that he and his people fled Egypt.
Can you provide a link? I would like to read about it.
Thanks

He needs to act right. He's mean! Tosh isn't mean. Perhaps you take his words too personally? Really? You think so? Hmmmmm......He called Joel Osteen "Satan"....Funny coming from a man who claims to not believe in any of that. He also calls me naive and vulnerable constantly. I will draw my own conclusions, JA. But thanks for your insight on the way I feel.

Tosh, you know that we cannot proved God just as you cannot disproved God. You either believe in God or you don't. THose who do, know that His word will never return void. God's word is true..to those who have faith and believe. Faith is a big thing with God.. you don't have it and you don't please Him.

Here is a clue, it has nothing to do with faith.
We have libraries full of ancient myths, are they also true ?
