Just pointing out the stupidity of this argument
December 28, 2015 at 2:01 am
So let me get this straight, if I read the bible, and don't come to the same conclusion about God as you have, that means I didn't read the bible right?
If you read any other book, and you interpret it differently from me, you don't see me standing there screaming back "WELL READ IT AGAIN BECAUSE MY WAY IS RIGHT".
Just my short little rant.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

And it is not just in reference to books, but it is much deeper and more disturbing than that.
It is how a mere sentence is interpreted within the same book they all read.
Very disturbing.

Haha.
If I read the bible, with the brain God gave me, and don't get the message God wants me to get, then GOD has failed.

You forgot to look for the secret code. Each page is like a seek and find word search puzzle. Get your pencil and try again.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Well, why would the self proclaimed "saved" people let you unsaved pagans in on their little game there ??
Turning the tables on them in regards to all the copious scriptures they find inconvenient isn't going to be something they are going to have any enthusiasm for.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

This one always makes me laugh. They can interperet the bible however they want, but... when I call out verses like ephesians 5 22Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.… that are explicit... and people tell me that I misunderstood... I laugh my face off because it's a cop out to avoid defending their book... 
If pinkie pie isn't real, then how do you explain the existence of ponies, huh? If ponies are real, then that's proof that Pinkie Pie is real. Checkmate, christians!

It appears that a mere mortal like me is much better at having my messages understood than this God character.
And, you know what? If it becomes clear people have misunderstood me, guess what I do? I sit back and laugh as people kill each other over the interpretations!
No wait, I clarify it myself. I don't employ millions of people to all "clarify" it in contradictory ways so that no one knows who to believe.

If you read the Bible and misrepresents what it says, that may mean you didn't read it right. The conclusions you come to after understanding it, that's a different story.

I couldn't have written that any better than you did. I agree, fadora's are more July than sleep.
If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?

It's like an Easter Egg.

I know right? I couldn't be a christian if it were true, if it were as it was understood by believers. This is because I understand what the bible says, what believers say, and don't agree.
