Mfm is right. In most cases the remasters are just better transfers or more optimized for CD. The masters for older albums were optimized for vinyl, which adds kick and bottom to the sound. Early CD transfers didn’t account for this and there for usually lack punch and bottom. Led zeppelin is a great example of this.

Vinyl is the way to go anyway though.

One interpretation is that Jesus only said the old laws must be practiced was to show the hypocrisy of high ranking religious officials.

He also said it BEFORE he said the old laws are null. He was a human being breaking against the religion he was raised as, probably wasn’t a decision made overnight.

Also those who wrote his story down would have also been going through a similar crisis of breaking old habits they grew up with, they might have put words in his mouth.

Anything written 2 thousand years ago must be taken with a grain of salt.

I’m not a christian. I’ve explained my religious beliefs before here But I don’t think I’ll do so again because it’s not worth the ridicule and I don’t have a great desire to explain myself anyway.

I’m sure frink doesn’t like that and will therefor have something snaughty and condescending to say about it. Because, you know, everything he personally doesn’t like must be terrible. But don’t worry, you’re not liking his music doesn’t make it terrible, only works the other way.

That being said, bathory is terrible.

Something I don’t think a lot of people talk about is that the bible was not originally one flowing book. Ergo the violent and bloody God of the old testament shouldn’t taint your opinion of the God of the New testament, which explicitly states the old laws are no longer to be practiced. And yes over history Christians have done bloody and terrible things, but that is the fault of the Christians that did it, not god. You will not find any place in the New testament, which again was not written in a book with the old testament at the time of it’s creation, encouraging such things. Also Christ never condemned homosexuality or encouraged hatred or violence of any kind.

But again you can’t prove either way. Although it is much easier to disprove Santa than Satan.

I respect atheism. I understand the logic behind being an atheist. But, and maybe I’m just being a butthurt theist (who isn’t “christian” btw), the condescension, mocking, insulting, and name calling in this thread is despicable. I would never treat somebody like that for being an atheist. Sure, you could use the argument that Christians sometimes do that to nonchristians, and that is absolutely true, but aren’t you (not referring to any specific individual) supposed to be better and more ‘enlightened’?

Also, you can’t prove there isn’t a God any more than theists can prove that there is one. So “this bickering is pointless.”
