The bible... why take it seriously?

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
Cline's last book had nothing to do with your stupid fucking bible.
It was real history.  (September 8, 2014 at 8:15 pm)Polaris Wrote: In the academic fields of history and archaeology, the Biblical accounts from Kings and Chronicles are taken very seriously. Well, with "some" seriousness anyway. But that's because other accounts coincide with them in places.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Such as?
Modern archaeology has dismissed the patriarchs, exodus, the conquest, David, and Solomon. Genesis is an absurd fable. WTF is left? Polecat will cite a bunch of holy joes who desperately need this shit to be true so that they still have a job but the evidence is not there. The shakiest piece of archaeological evidence they have is the Merneptah stele which purports to say "Israel" but in reality says "Ysirir" in Egyptian and it is a word which appears no where else in the entire corpus of Egyptian writing so no one really knows what it means....or who it refers to. Even if it did mean exactly what they want it to mean they carefully neglect the rest of the sentence which says they were exterminated. Cherry-picking as normal. 
Well there are people who take Star Track seriously, so what's the difference ?.
They don't get idiot congressmen to do their bidding by saying that Captain Kirk wants them to.
I can't think of a single case.....
People even take sports seriously, they worship their gods, and their whole life has meaning because of all this crap.
Irrelevant to the topic at hand. People can believe in leprechauns for all I care...as long as they don't try to shove a shamrock up my ass.
Jesus freaks have this overwhelming desire to sprinkle jesus shit wherever they go. |
