The whole idea of the Bible is to interpret the mindset of the writers, not judge what they have to say.
Think of where Moses' head was when he wrote his story either 1420 or 1220 B.C. What was Josh thinking?
Analyze the "Psalms" by David, et al, that are written, at least, 1000 B.C.
Malachi wrote stuff 450-425 B.C.
James 45-48 A.D., was Jesus still alive?
John 85-96 A.D.
How does 1500 years of mankind tie together?
May The Devil not impede your mind.
Then i guess that was the problem from day one.. The politics should never have been mixed with religion...
I wonder how long it'll be before "In God we Trust." will be removed? Probably never...
You're not materialistic.. you're a pothead, few potheads are.. because we'd rather smoke our money.. than stuff it under our matress...or buy that fancy BMW we dreamt about when we were kids. It scares me that your government is though... scares me greatly..
Even know we can see the extent of which the government will go.. just to secure a source of fuel.
Arnold IS a step towards progress.. but what of his Hilter Youth past? what about Prescott Bush having serious associations with hitler and the nazi party? Why is it that all of these facts are ignored when it comes to election day?
And yes.. they are facts.. not rumours.
The day the government gets their heads of god's ass... is the day a Cuban becomes president.

Show me that you're enlightened with your POV before criticizing others. Just criticizing and asserting that you're right and everyone is wrong is a good indicator that you probably havent thought too deeply about your views, or you would be more than happy to express them in an articulate, well-thought out form, rather than giving blatent criticism of others viewpoints and making rediculous, baseless assumptions about the thinking abilities of your opposition.Quote:
And looking for reasons and opinions to justify your personal opinion that the Bible isn't true does NOT constitute research into the subject...so don't even try to tell me that you have studied it...because if you DID research it, and came up with that conclusion, you are either hopelessly foolish and closed-minded or were not able to find accurate resources.
Its cute how you assume that those who dont believe as you do must not be very well-read or open-minded on the subject. Good insight as to your abilities to be open-minded. I hope the irony isnt lost on you.Quote:
Open your mind, smoke some herb if you need to, and THEN research/study something.....THEN develop your opinion....not the other way around...
