While they obssess over Christians, they pretend we are all perverts, evil, two-faced beasts. They know that millions, the vast majority of Christians are lovely, good, decent, honest people and the fact that they never mention that proves they must strain to argue their side.So
Christ laid it all out on the pages of the N.T. Didn't pull punches. Didn't try to sweet talk HIS opponents. He told them what HE thought with candid authority. They murmured and plotted. They ganged up on HIM secretly using every devilish manipulation to have their will done. I wish I had been there. I would loved to have seen it unfold. Each part coming to pass in brief snippets of time, I'd be observing it all go down, just as we read in the N.T. The smell of the Passover meals cooking, the swirling aroma in the air, the sounds of children in the background, the enormous stones they carved to form the buildings, the clothing ancient women wore, their gnarled teeth, the swords the men carried. What is really weird is that it really did take place. It happened. Long, long time ago. Just as they said.
yet the scientific truth and religious truthreligion has truth?
2 pages effectively that discuss the creation of the world2 pages that are are not entirely accuratehow we should live? how should we treat others? What is the nature of evil or sin?well, i guess so. but if we based our moral choices on what is written in the bible well we would be acting as though they did in the spanish inquisition. id rather live my life actually by moral code rather than the moral(immoral) code of the bible
The bible is concerned with human interaction, peace, justice, life.as above
While science can say how things are it will never tell you how to live save some dietary suggestions.
Again meaningless in this regardwell, i guess if one just uses the bible as a kind of moral storybook like the boy that cried wolf or 3 little pigs, then yes this is meaningless.
but so many people try to claim that the bible is so much more. some even make the claim that its accurate in some kind of real life sense.
Not at all, I highly recommend you listen to some of the lectures on the psychological significance of the biblical stories given by Jorden Petersonpretty much as above
Again this a highly simplistic view of religion and faith.care to enlighten on a more realistic view then?And never will it because as I suggested before that is not what the bible is interested in.true there are many parts that are stories of past events. there are historical things throughout it. and from all these stories we are supposed to derive some meaning to our lives.
but what about when the stories are just plain wrong. what meaning do we derive from that? the story, or the wrongness?
Sadly the position you hold is one many people do, a very condescending one that is also based more in ignorance then understanding.please elaborateThe Noah story is the story where mankind becomes corrupt so God sends a flood. And there is a link drawn in this story to corruption and floods.from a viewpoint of a moral wise story for humans to learn from (just like the boy that cried wolf) i agree with this.
When new Orleans was flooded a few years back it happened because corrupt politicians for decades had stopped spending money on Levy defenses.
but many people believe this actually happened.
why wouldn't theyjust like above, if one uses its stories in the same way they use little red riding hood then i see merit it that.
but to use it as a whole as some kind of 'encyclopedia' for all of lifes challenges is misleading and serves no purpose.
effrey go find alan. come back when he and i are through.We are through. You have descended into gibberish. For all I know, you may even be a Republican, and thus beneath contempt.
His buddies also called him GODcitation needed, particularly as none of the current bible was written by anyone who knew him.
upon what do you rely to inform how you treat other people?Do as you would be done by. Let the punishment fit the crime. The greatest happiness for the greatest number. Primum non nocere. These are the bases of every legal system we call "civilised".
burning innocent people alive,Yes. Part of the rich history of Christianity (Bruno, Tyndale (though they had the decency to strangle him first), Jeanne d'Arc, and too many witches to name here). And that's just victims within the faith.
In Jewish law, it was punishable by death to get on somebody's nerves, correct?No. No occupying power has ever ceded the death sentence to its subjects. Crucifixion was a Roman execution - the only permitted biblical method is stoning. You should study the bible.
Jesus, help this doctor and her husband who are suffering. I pray they would look to you and find in you the glory and wonder of your love.
God doesn't play dice.Nor do unicorns, and for the same reason.
