The bible is not a history book.

[Eliseus]

Kagatob really is the definition of a bigot (I know you will probably deny it, but just look at your posts with the definition of bigot, you really are one, and yes, that is a bad thing since you should always hold yourself up to not be judged in such a negative fashion) and responding to him has just resulted in long text of personal amusement for me. Can't teach someone that doesn't want to learn. I also find it funny that amount of contradictions he tries to point out yet doesn't provide any credible sources and him himself probably has no credibility to back up anything he says, you know, with his most likely GED he only has.

Inb4 professor google tries to give him all the answers.

So much ad-hominem, so little content.
Yes questioning a sacred text is an act of bigotry. I suppose if aliens landed right now and blew all of the religious books out of the water that would be a bigoted act as well. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Actually, questioning the bible isn't being a bigot, YOU are being a bigot with your responses. No wonder you think other people have reading comprehension problems. You yourself don't even understand what you are saying.

The only thing more laughable than using the Bible as a history book is using it as a moral compass of any sort.

Definition of MORAL
1
a : of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior : ethical <moral judgments>
b : expressing or teaching a conception of right behavior <a moral poem>
c : conforming to a standard of right behavior
d : sanctioned by or operative on one's conscience or ethical judgment <a moral obligation>
e : capable of right and wrong action <a moral agent>
2
: probable though not proved : virtual <a moral certainty>
3
: perceptual or psychological rather than tangible or practical in nature or effect <a moral victory> <moral support>

So, please elaborate more Mandalore?

Just so everyone knows, I'm not stating what I do believe in or don't. I'm mostly stating people like OP don't have anything credible source to back up what they say except their own opinion, which I'm assuming isn't credible either.

On the Morale thing, the Bible is pretty much the best thing to bring morale to the table. People seem to skip over what principles are brought to the table in the belief of God and things like the Bible. They don't just bring a belief in a "deity" but they give reasons for people to essentially just be "good" people. So yes, the Bible as a morale compass is an amazing tool to use and really shouldn't be "laughed" at.

The Hollow Men
T. S. Eliot
Mistah Kurtz—he dead.

A penny for the Old Guy

I

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats’ feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death’s other Kingdom
Remember us—if at all—not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.

II

Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
In death’s dream kingdom
These do not appear:
There, the eyes are
Sunlight on a broken column
There, is a tree swinging
And voices are
In the wind’s singing
More distant and more solemn
Than a fading star.

Let me be no nearer
In death’s dream kingdom
Let me also wear
Such deliberate disguises
Rat’s coat, crowskin, crossed staves
In a field
Behaving as the wind behaves
No nearer—

Not that final meeting
In the twilight kingdom

III

This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man’s hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.

Is it like this
In death’s other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.

IV

The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms

In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river

Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death’s twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.

V

Here we go round the prickly pear
Prickly pear prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
At five o’clock in the morning.

Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
Life is very long

Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom

For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

isn't he dead?

[Eliseus]

Oh also, so is your face!

Y'all don't know what you are talking about and risk angering Xenu with all your blaspheme.
