7 When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
2 And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
Murderous prick.
When quoting the OT, do not forget to add the footnote:
Quote: Matthew 5:17, King James Bible:
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

I'll confess, the Begats bored the living shit out of me, and so did other spots in the OT.
I'm the same way. Though I did skip the psalms too, not a fan of bad translated poetry.

Primitive mind? Min have you read Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Proverbs, or Hebrews from the NT? Very eloquently written.
The originals or the KJV's deliberate mistranslations?

When exactly did the Earth stop being supported by pillars? And the Moon stop being a light? And mental illness stop being caused by demons? And the city of Tyre stop being desolate? When was Jesus born and when did he die? What, exactly, were his final words?
If we can't rely on the book for the basics, how can we trust it on the supposed major questions of salvation?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

A really major question of Salvation is which crucifixion tale to believe, Jesus gets nailed up on Thursday, or Jesus gets nailed up on Friday ??
Guessing wrong is going to fuck up your Salvation.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I find it wonderfully hypocritical that you would be one of the first to cast out all of the active ISIS insurgents, anyone working for/with the Taliban or even anyone from the good olde Nazi party, but are the first to hide the nature of those in whom God cast out of this land for His People.

So the question is simple. Have you read the bible?
i have read the bible i understand it well. reading the bible in itself would not be something you could understand straight away. it takes asking god to help you in meditation. god is easy to understand i learned at church to visualize the passages in the bible which helps understand it clearer. you dont have to do that of course, but its a good book to read. you can learn about life and people and the devil and god reading the bible. it also gives you to key to salvation.

Shitty philosophy and even shittier poetry.
its obvious you havent understood the meaning of the passages in the bible.
Does "understand" mean "agree with you"?

I find it perplexingly stupid of you that you can't seem to understand that your god is a myth to us, so he didn't do anything we could react to.

Welcome, Joshua, I hope you enjoy your time here. Would you please consider making an introduction thread?

I read the Bible while in high school and I've the complete Quran since 2001.
The Quran is much shorter than the Bible (shorter even than the New Testament I believe) and is not that difficult a read comparatively speaking. I've only read parts of the Sunnah... ,much larger collection of writings.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
