When I open my eyes and look at the world, by far
the biggest group of haters are the religious.

And are they proud that their $GOD can safely hide
behind their broad back!
Works best for those who have nothing else to be proud on.

that they don't have gods.)

When you look at the whole world as bifurcated between theist and
atheist maybe, but you must note a difference between Mulims and
Buddhists, and with Russians, Chinese, and Sweeds (all 3 atheist) so
aggression doesn't really correlate with religion.  There's even a big
difference between the Arab immigrants in Afghanistan where men are
required to have a beard, and Morocco where shaving is a ritual.  Their
whole set of attitudes is different and they have the same religion.

Most religions will have something equivalent to
Christ's "job specification" for the people who
would spread Christianity, viz: Luke 14

25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and
turning to them he said:
26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate
father and mother, wife and children, brothers
and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a
person cannot be my disciple.

Not a good starting point, and one which usually
isn't taught by parents to their offspring :)

Neither do Buddhists, but despite their pacifist
reputation, they can be pretty nasty to each other.

"People are people" just about sums it up.

Yes, they can be flexible. In Nepal, I used to see
home altars with pictures of the Buddha, HH the Dalai Lama,
the king (who claimed to be a divine reincarnation, but
Hindu style) and....

Bruce Lee.

Nowadays, the king has probably dropped out of the quartet.

And in the mahayana Buddhism, all kinds of deities are
sorted in again, whatever the surrounding substrates may offer.

What do you think Christ meant in Luke 14:26?

Seems explicit and unambiguous to me.

Why would you think I know?  ...or particularly care?

OK, I looked it up.  All that's there is that one's religion
(God/Jesus, depending on your denomination) comes first, even before
family.  Did you have a point?

You really do have comprehension problems, and/or
a remarkable ability to turn a blind eye to things
you don't want to see.

That verse requires Christ's disciples *hate*
their family etc. Not dislike, not distrust, not
have second priority, but *hate*.

Luke14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not
*hate* father and mother, wife and children,
brothers and sisters—yes, even their own
life—such a person cannot be my disciple.

(My *emphasis*)

You misunderstand.

All over Scripture, we're commanded to love our neighbour as ourselves,
and God's love for us is likened to both the love of parents for
children and (surprisingly) eros--the Church is called the Bride of Christ.

Jesus was using normal rabbinical hyperbole to emphasize that we have to
love God more than anything or anyone else.  That's the teaching of the
Church from earliest times as well.

The passage you're misquoting is Luke 14:25-26.  Jesus is being followed
by large crowds, and he's teaching them that there's more to
discipleship than that: following him involves letting go of the whole
world.  The pericope reads in full:

Luke 14:25 Now great multitudes accompanied him; and he turned and said
to them,

Luke 14:26 "If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and
mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his
own life, he cannot be my disciple.

Luke 14:27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot
be my disciple.

Luke 14:28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first
sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?

Luke 14:29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to
finish, all who see it begin to mock him,

Luke 14:30 saying, 'This man began to build, and was not able to finish.'

Luke 14:31 Or what king, going to encounter another king in war, will
not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand
to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

Luke 14:32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends
an embassy and asks terms of peace.

Luke 14:33 So therefore, whoever of you does not renounce all that he
has cannot be my disciple.


He says the same sort of thing quite a lot, e.g. in the parables of the
buried treasure and the pearl of great price:

Matthew 13:44 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field,
which a man found and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all
that he has and buys that field.

Matthew 13:45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search
of fine pearls,

Matthew 13:46 who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold
all that he had and bought it.

Heaven lasts forever, and is God's free gift to us--all we have to do is
to say 'yes' and mean it.  It's just that meaning it means valuing the
gift at its true worth, which is far more than everything else we have.
  It's not that we shouldn't love our families, or save for the future,
or have a good time, not at all.  Loving God makes us love our earthly
families more, not less.  But all those things have to come second.

You see, it's fatally easy to delude ourselves into thinking that we're
disciples of Christ, and then discover too late that we were really
holding on to something else more tightly--pride, security, hatred,
self-righteousness, our houses, the good opinion of our family and
friends, lots of things--so that we hadn't really said 'yes' at all.

God doesn't want our stuff, he wants _us_, because he loves us.  That's 
why it's the Good News.

Cheers

So presumably He is also using rabbinical hyperbole
in many other cases too, e.g.
Mark 12:31 ... ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ...

I must admit that is convenient, since it means
that I can interpret the Bible in just about any
way that suits my purposes.

You presume a lot. ;)    I didn't say "invariable rabbinic hyperbole", 
just that it's a rhetorical trope.

You seem to be doing that already.  How about cutting it up into ransom 
notes?  Then you could have new vocabulary as well.  "Oh look, I found 
curse words in the Bible!" ;)

Well, why not join the club; everybody else does it :)

Typically Bible bashers would like to. (Luckily we
don't have religious thought police over here.)

But then I try to open their kids' eyes to what
is in the Bible; typical reaction is "does the
Bible /really/ say that?".
"Don't trust me, read it for yourself here ...
and here ..."

We DO have religious thought police. There is
Scharia police in practically all islamic states
and wherever they feel strong enough. Even here in
.de there was a self proclaimed Scharia police in
fantasy uniforms that molested non-German looking
people. They have been put out of business, but
got away cheaply.

In our catholic environment we have the
inquisition that has been renamed
"Congregatio pro doctrina fidei" since the
inquisition had accumulated too much of a bad press.
(Really, they only shorted the full name.)

The last burning of a witch was just 200 years ago
and we can be pretty sure that ended only because
the prosecutors are no longer strong enough.

(Locally here, 2 witches in 1703, Afra Dick & Maria Kölbl,
for stealing milk, putting fire on things & taking
a ride with the devil on a pitchfork)

Yes, old Jesuit wisdom:
"Bring them young, then we have them forever."

You may smile on the Yacc shepherd with the Buddha
and Bruce Lee on his altar. But is he any less credible
than a Palestinian sheep herdsmen from early bronze time?
The Yacc guy, I have seen him at least personally,
and also more of those people. And I liked them.

Twit. You know as much about me as you know about
my pension. (That's nothing, even though, in true
Dunning-Kruger style, you persist in think you know
a lot :) )

Should we also read "Love your neighbour as
yourself" as being hyperbole, not to be taken
literally?

As for being like Sloman, my retorts are nowhere as
voluble, pointed and amusing as his.

The English Bible is a translation and often has different meanings than 
the original Bible could have been interpreted to have.  I seem to 
recall reading this passage is one of those where it can have a rather 
different interpretation.

In which case the bible cannot be *the* word of God!

It might be what somebody (mis)heard while God was
mumbling, but not much more :)
