And a lot of books left out by the 'scholars' who put it together. And some translation problems. (Same goes for Buddhism as it happens.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't go getting the Old Testament mixed in with Christianity, FFS. They can be very picky about which fairy tales they choose to believe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 If there’s a divine creator that’s volunteering themselves to spend the eternal afterlife with those who deem themselves Christians then they want sectioning for their own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just ‘Confessions Of A Justified Sinner’ innit. If you reckon you’ve got your seat booked at the big table, there’s no disincentive not to act like a horse’s arse on the way there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't talking the fundamentals (which, as has been said, does boil down to decent human behaviour) I was talking about all the pish in the bible.

Not being pedantic, but I just don't see where you're coming from. The 'pish' seemed to be a separate point, but perhaps it wasn't. I've never came across (excuse the pun) a law against wanking, but for me the virgin birth and resurrection don't seem ridiculous when you take God's nature into account, which is my starting point. There are several scientific, philosophical, historical and spiritual reasons as to why I reached the conclusion of God's existence. The Kalam Cosmological Argument is probably my favourite.

coprolite Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 The best bits in the bible are where Jesus refuses to share his loaves and fishes with people who have made bad life choices such as becoming lepers. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see, that's the root of the problem. If you ignore the fundamental issues then anything is possible. Without mr miracle it all crumbles down.
