Religion and Bounty Hunter show
The television show " Bounty Hunters" had Dog telling a man to 'resist lust'. Dog admitted to repressing his lustful urges. Well, I don't think Dog has any right to tell that man to repress his lustful feelings. This man has the right to act on his lustful feelings provided he doesn't cheat on his spouse or lover as long as it is with another consenting adult who cares? Dog shouldn't repress his lustful thoughts either. Dog also has the right to feel lustful feelings for other women provided that he doesn't cheat on his wife whom he cares about. Do anti-sexual people realize how damaging their fearful and self-hating attitudes towards one our most natural impulses are? Well, Dog asks Yahweh to protect him and his family from harm at the beginning of each show. I don't believe Yahweh exists and I do not believe that Yahweh is going to protect him and his family from harm. Where is Yahweh when little children are being raped and murdered by sick and deviant psychopaths? Perhaps Yahweh allows the children to be raped and murdered as a punishment for some evil action but finite they committed? If this is so than Yahweh could never be loved or worshipped by me. He certainly didn't spare the pagan children that he commanded the ancient Jews to wipe out because they belonged to a culture the Jews thought was 'evil'. Dog and his family retrieved a stolen Buddha statue and thought it was horrible that someone would destroy someone else's religious symbol. It is nice that he shows tolerance but anyways I don't believe Yahweh or Jesus are going to protect Dog and his family anymore than Superman is. I don't believe Yahweh exists. Jesus is not divine but a simple Jewish man that had ideals that deviated from his proscribed religion which got him killed who might not have existed at all. Dog quotes the Jewish bible passage ' By their fruits you shall know them'. I don't believe you shall know people by their fruits and the Jewish and Christian bible is not a very good moral guide for Dog, his family or anyone else living in our modern day world nor does it promote entirely good values and I think Dog/Duane Chapman should know that. I think its horrible for Dog to hold positive feelings towards an ancient religious text that promotes slavery, genocide , bigotry, hate, violence against those who are different and child-sacrifice in the death of Rabbi Yeshua
