The bible is not a history book.

[Kagatob]

It's amusing when every single Bible enthusiast ends up resorting to 'no u' instead of conceding to the logical evidence presented.

This is to be expected however, when someone takes a book that is filled with contradictions within even itself, as historical text. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Meh, at least I'll be kicking it with Gandhi, Kurt Cobain, Ernest Hemingway, Albert Einstein, and pretty much every single person who wasn't a member of the single denomination that was correct-- in addition to all the indigenous and un-contacted peoples from now back to antiquity who never heard the word of Christ.

Also, if I'm to be having pineapples shoved in my butthole by Satan, I can only imagine what's in store for you in heaven at the hands of a God sadistic and manipulative enough to imbue you with an innate sense of curiosity and intellectual independencem and then punish you for it.

That's a good one, that's another thing I love when the Bible lovers don't hesitate to shout "Communists!" and "Socialists!" or even "Fascists!", whenever any type of misdeed is linked to a remotely secular source, even if there was only a single person behind it all.

Yet all the while, the greats (which since Jesus, Christianity has NONE) are always ignored completely. Then again it's only Christian of you to ignore (or take metaphorically) anything that's inconvenient to your agenda.

Enjoy your crusaders, conquistadors and inquisitors. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's kind of funny watching people like you try to dismantle concepts and ideals so much greater than you. Growing up, I was forced to go to church till I was in high school, so I was naturally resistant to it being a teenager pushed into the arms of conformity. One of my best friend's dad was our pastor, and one day I just let it all out.

I told him I thought religion was modern slavery, that church's cause more strife for people than good, that clearly the Bible was a fictionally based book based around imposed morals; not a book about given characters of history. And mostly that "religious" people were generally judgemental and closed-minded. Pretty much everything I'd ever said to a religious figure, in genuine expression, that resulted in a distasteful judgement. When I was done, he had a smile on his face. He told me that what I felt was what he felt; that no pastor - even the Pope- could believe everything the Bible wrote down, but it was about the message between the lines.

This was the first time I realized the strength of faith. That someone who could believe these things and live by this "code" had more strength than someone like OP who probably finds an elated sense of empowerment from shitting on finite details regarding the Bible.

Snakes can't talk (but they can kick and bash mirite McQuaid), pillars of fire don't appear and guide people through deserts at night, virgins don't give birth, and certainly dead people don't come back to life days later. But through these stories, within the context, is a story about the poison of man and the remedy of a belief in a higher power.

And for the record, I do not believe in the God described in The Bible, nor would I consider myself a religious man. I just find this post similar to some kid in head-to-toe Abercrombie clothes walking by Hot Topic calling goth kids fags; thinking there's a great divide between what he thinks is fashion is compared to them.

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.
