I love it when people say that their god wants us to follow its dictates and then, in the next breath, claim their god is unknowable/ineffable or that you need special qualifications to understand. So, the vast majority of ordinary people, those who do not have those special qualifications? They burn in hell because ignorance?

“That’s how things were done then”
Babylon the Great has trampled the nations of the world under its feet for the past 500 years. The worst of it during past 50 years!
Apparently if you put a good name on a dog (call neocolonialism “free-trade globalization”) you can have the honor of ending the colonialist era while expanding on it and committing even worse crimes against humanity!
Funny how anti-colonialist anti-racists have turned the world into a giant, racist concentration-camp that keeps People of Color under boot of oppression to plunder their resources and the fruits of their labor – as well as to prevent them from developing and competing. The Powers That Be spread war, chaos and terror across the globe for corporate profits – putting “civilization” on the brink of collapse into world-war Armageddon!
At one time northern-European savages killed in the name of God. But the past couple centuries they’ve been killing in the name of your god: the void. (If only those who called themselves Christians had a fraction of the faith that atheists have in nothing!)
So I take it this quote means: the Bible comes across as savage, but not nearly as savage as the world is today!
Or: slavery was bad in Caesar’s time and Lincoln’s time. But that was nothing compared to today!
If God came to horse people he would come in the form of a horse. So if I come across as savage, I’m just trying to communicate in a way you have some chance of understanding.
Of course what is impossible for savages, is possible for God! You don’t have to wallow in a vacuous world a hatred, lies, destruction and death. There is a higher way! Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened for you!

“They burn in hell because ignorance?”
A savage is naked in the Garden of Eden. Then he eats of the tree of knowledge and becomes aware of his savage instincts. There’s a big difference between acts of savagery before and after the revelation. And according to the Word, all will be revealed!
God has said from before the time of Osiris, and as well as in the Jewish and Christian scriptures, people will be judged by what they do.
Suffice it to say, people who kill in my name don’t have the right stuff to interpret theology. People who kill over doctrine, by that very fact, are killing over false doctrine.
Fake Christians have been killing people over silly points of doctrine since Constantine came to power. Did he bring the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth? Or did he destroy Roman civilization with totalitarianism?
(Mohammed, on the other hand, was a tolerant monotheist and expanded on Roman civilization. Northern European savages, however, conquered and colonized the globe culminating in world wars. What they brought the world: a savage idea of civilization that inevitably destroys the world.)
But the universe won’t let savages – who’ve only existed for 666 centuries – savages made by their own hand – destroy a biosphere that’s been around for billions of years. She will send someone to stop you while the missiles are in the air!
If you look at it logically, since I am not of your world, I am an alien. An ‘angel.’ And how will the missiles be stopped mid-air? By UFOs! That’s why they track your machines of war. And just fly across the sky. To say to the people of the Earth: you may live in the world of the dead, but up above you is life. Up above you is truth. Up above you is salvation.
