Ahh, Catholicism

[Stemis516]

i mean its clear you dont know basic history or bible interpretation

im not saying everything in the bible is true, its just clear to me that your so uneducated its impossible to have a reasonable argument with you

the sad thing is if u were educated, ud probably find that alot of people would agree with u in some respects, but ur loss i guess

[bobthenuker]

the bible is total bullshit. There are parts in the bible taht say it is okay to sell your daughter for prostitution, and kill your children if they misbehave. How can you follow a book, that is the law of the land, and ignore some stuff, but follow other stuff.

oince again the bible is BULLSHIT

and if anyone wants me to back up my clamins ill be more than happy to.

peace

sure thing my friend, just let me get outo my bible to give you specific quotes and pages. give me about 10 minutes

[bobthenuker]

okey doky here you go.

page 105 for my bible. Exodus 35:2 states anyone working on the Sabbath is to be put to death. "six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death" Why not kill everyone that works on sundays huh

page 85 on my bible. Exodus 21:7 you'll find the daughter slavery bit. I suggest reading at least the first few lines of chapter 21. little piece for those that donâ??t have bibles. AHEM "If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing"

pg 1193 for my bible Corinthians 11:14 â??Doth not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it is a shame unto him.â?� Seems familiar huh, Jesus anyone :wtf:

Heres the rebellious son one, sorry I can't remember exactly where it's located in the bible, but i had it written down from a while ago, never sourced it.

20.And they shall say unto the elder of the city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.
21. And all the men of the city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thouh put evil.

Using the bible as a moral context, or taking it seriously is stupid. Like I said you can't use some stuff in the bible, and leave other stuff out.

Personally I believe in God, the Bible and Church though I dont.

Why the fuck not??

[Apostle in Triumph]

Why the fuck not??

Because holy scripture should be absolute and unquestionable.

[bobthenuker]

Why the fuck not??

The bible is THE BOOK, it is the book of the land. It's holy thus it has to be basically absolute. A commitee of people wrote the bible, committee of people, over a long time. It is human made, god or jesus didnt write it. All that stuff I posted is right in the bible, I didn't change anything around. The bible is hypocritical and contradictaory. One passage it says treat everyone like your brother, then a few pages over it says hebrew slaves have to serve you for 7 years or something like that. You can't take the bible literally or use it as a moral code.

[Stemis516]

you do now that any1 who seriosuly reads the bible know that there are correct and incorrect ways of interpreting it and lemme be the first to say, taking everything literally isnt the right way of going about it

[Oneironaut]

Well, if it's not literally true, and most of it seems to be mythological in origin, what's the point in trusting any of it at all? Yeah, I realize there are some good bits of general moral advice in there, but there's a lot of morally disgusting crap too, which God should have edited out of his "holy" book. The Bible promotes slavery, sexism, homophobia and animal sacrifice! And that's just in the first couple books... As far as I'm concerned, any book that promotes those things is not a reliable guide for morality.

If I'm capable of going through the Bible and picking out the grossly immoral bits myself, what's the point of using the book in the first place? That means I already have a functioning morality, which I am using to judge the passages myself, and which seems to be vastly superior to the type of morality that the writers of the Bible had several thousands of years ago. It's an interesting historical document, sure, but there's little evidence that any of it is actually true and even less evidence that it is a reliable guide to morality.

If you're going to go through and cherry-pick the good bits to follow while ignoring the bad ones, you might as well use Mein Kampf as your guide to morality. You'll be throwing most of that book out the window too.
