The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work

[Redbeard The Pink]

Ah, he won't speak to me.

Well, too bad. Screw him. If he decides to grow up and stop being such a whining little dick, we can have a chat. No one else I know acts like this.

Those are not god's words, they are words in a book which people have told you are from god. Big difference.

Are you just making this assertion so that you don't have to face facts? What kind of research have you done on the Bible to support your claim? If you actually spoke to Him what would you say? Do you even what to talk to Him?

I don't know what kind of research he's done, but I've done a shit-ton into science, mythology, human storytelling, etc., and I can tell you for absolute certain that the Bible is exactly what you'd expect from a bunch of primitive humans over the course of thousands of years and NOTHING like what you could reasonably expect from a perfect, all-powerful, all-knowing deity who can talk to people inside their heads with his telepathy magic. The Bible is full of contradictions and horrendous immorality on the part of Gaud himself, so the most likely explanation is that it was written by people who were inspired by speculation and hallucination. Why do you think so many shamanic religions are so into drugs? Sober people don't come up with shit like that unless they're crazy.
