This place is the suck

[30 Fat, Bald & Texan 5]

I'm taking my ball. Happy Easter errbody.

 

 

 

 

Pick up the good book sometime this weekend and give it a shot. Even if you dont believe the lessons learned can be great. Imagine if we all lived by the teachings of the bible.

[crackattack 513]

Wait...

[30 Fat, Bald & Texan 5]

[crackattack 513]

Whew. I thought we lost you!!

[NewbieJr 540]

Imagine if we all lived by the teachings of the bible.

None of us would eat pork, or have tattoos. Or eat shellfish of any kind. And we'd stone our wives if they weren't virgins before marrying us. And we'd kill all homosexuals.

 

Other than that, it's a pretty cool read.

The virgin thingy is pretty cool though.

If I'm going to read fiction, I prefer GoT.

Thou shalt not kill.

Actually the Bible is a History book and is probably just as accurate as the history books today.

Also, a child who curses at his parents should be put to death.

 

Oh yeah, and anyone working on a Sunday should be put to death.

 

I can go on

Now feel free to comment. Or run away like you do every time I make a total ass out of you.

Good gawd newbie, I had no idea you were so against a book that teaches man to love thy neighbor. It has its place in our world and teaches great lessons.

Holy sh1t, you're stupid.

The Hebrew Bible is the history of ancient Israel and Judah. HTH

Throw out the old testament and I might be inclined to sort of agree on a minimal basis.

LOLOL So you're going to completely ignore the fact that you just got schooled?

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

Holy sh1t, you're stupid.

Is senility considered stupidity?

[30 Fat, Bald & Texan 5]

The old testament was sort of meant to be thrown out when christians and jews split I believe.

You're right, but sometimes you just have to punch a retard.

I'm not anti-bible. Or anti-religion. I see it for what it actually is. It was written (and is followed) with very good intentions.

 

I'm more anti-phurfur. I just love making him my b1tch every day. He's a bitter old curmudgeon who deserves it.

[30 Fat, Bald & Texan 5]

Im not religious. Religion killed Jesus and starts wars.

Most of the things that people find truly objectionable about the bible are in the old testament.

That is a good chapter, it shows how religion and culture has changed from thousands of years ago. It also shows how much is still included in our law.

In other words, you pick and choose the parts of the bible you want to believe in. Got it

30FBT, I agree with you l - I see a lot of positive in the teachings of the Gospel.

But in the end, it's all very pliable and people will see/take from it what they want to.

 

Good literature, good stories, whether it's The Bible or Old Maid's Game of Thrones, help us to understand the human predicament - they help us empathize with people and circumstances that are both alike and unlike our own - they help us consider and experience things in a way that will help us in our own lives.

I do.

I take some of it literally. I take some of it as symbolism or metaphor.

But I believe that as a whole, the book's job is to teach us to be better/kinder human beings, to respect ourselves and others, and in many cases to put the needs of others, especially the weak, before our own needs.

[JT 137]

I have no issue with the Bible except for the claim that it's "The Bible" ie the one and only tome that matters. If that's the case, and it is the word of God as it's proponents claim, then it should be taken literally. Every word, every sentence, unless somewhere along the line there's a passage where it says "By the way, ignore these passages...".

 

If man feels qualified to interpret it and pick and choose what portions he follows, than he is breaking one of the basic tenets, that man never put himself before God.

 

Essentially, it seems a good guideline for how to live your life. Which makes it one of hundreds, if not thousands, of books about which you could say the same thing.

last week the preacher preached about honoring your spouse, and spoke about how women should submit to their husbands. We came home and I told her to suck it. It didn't work. :|

Hahahhahaa as long as we are telling jokes.......2 jews walk into a bar....the other one ducks.

I think the Bible has a lot of good lessons, but why throw out the Old Testament? Also if I want to read religious text, I prefer the Vinaya and Sutta Pitakas.
