The bible is not a history book.

Mother Theresa. She sadistic monster who believed that only through the greatest suffering could someone be closest to God. The conditions of her 'facilities' were abhorable even by 3rd world standards, terminally sick people crowded on the floor next to mildly ill people with no blankets and barely enough food to keep them alive.

Of the millions of dollars in donations that she had received, next to none of it went to any of her 'patients', most of it is still sitting in Vatican bank accounts and the bulk of what was spent went between opening her own Catholic Missionaries to spread more gospel and the rest of the money went to her buddies Charles Keating and the Duvalier family so they could continue making Haiti a worse place to live.

hahahahahahahahahahahah

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.

I'm not here to educate, I'm here to rant about how ignorant and illogical a large chunk of a culture is.

If you are so concerned about wanting to continue the tradition of the 5000 year pariah that's your prerogative. Or you can do what logical people can do and just google 'Jewish mercenaries ancient Egypt pyramids' and pick one of the 15,000 sources that pop up in the results. If you don't want to it's not my problem.

The same goes for Mother Teresa, just look up 'Mother Teresa suffering'. Again over 10,000 relevant results, most of them linking to reports from the very women who worked under her.

If you really want your hand held so badly and have the easy answers for everything... welp... bible. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That's a cautionary tale about the dangers of tobacco smoking.
