WinterHold, there -is- no "original monolithic bible of Jesus." There's the Jewish scriptures, and the books of the New Testament, but nothing written by Jesus or even within several decades of his supposed lifetime.

@Fake Messiah all I'm seeing, is Naom referring to "Constantine's bible of the first council of Nicaea". That's not the original Monolithic bible of Jesus peace be upon him.

"The Bible is basically polytheistic, with the warrior God demanding of his chosen people that they not worship the other Gods and destroy those who do" - Noam Chomski

"That ‘religion is inherently irrational’ is surely true. Why one set of beliefs that are offered without argument or evidence rather than another?" - Noam Chomski

Chomsky is a careful analytic thinker who is able to see both the good and the bad in things. Unlike some people, who are fanatics and evangelists for a black and white view of things.

@Fake Messiah he means the "Constantine bible of the first council of Nicaea"; not the original book revealed to Jesus peace be upon him.

"Hitchens seems to have lost his mind" --Chomsky

"...their deepest error I think is to dismiss with ridicule beliefs that are extremely important to people’s lives, and should be respected, whatever we think of their empirical validity." --Chomsky

"the Bible is probably the most genocidal book in the literary canon." ― Noam Chomsky

“Religion is based on the idea that God is an imbecile.” ― Noam Chomsky

@Belaqua thank you for reminding us, happy birthday, Noam

Happy birthday, Noam Chomsky!

It's cookie day.

Compromise with the neighbours - put up a skeleton wearing a Santa hat.

If it were me being shamed I'd put up halloween decorations again.

Happy "The neighbors have shamed me into decorating" day!

Delusional 'I believe the scale has got to be lying' day.

Happy Buy Nothing Day!

Happy "We Wish We Could Take it Back" day!
