Don't you just love the hypocrisy of religion.

Khemikal quote- The "messing with" is not only endemic to the religion..it continues to this day.

Thanks mate but can you just clear something up for me?-
Atheists say the bible has been messed about with to tidy it up and make it look good, then in their next breath they say it's full of contradictions.
So why have the contradictions been left in?

Minimalist quote- Our problem around here is mainly dumbfuck xtians.... not Buddhists.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are good xtians and there are bad xtians, but the bads can't get under JC's radar..
He said- "Not all who call me "Lord,Lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven. Then I'll tell them plainly, I never knew you, get away from me" (Matt 7:21-23)

PS- The bads and fundies are my biggest opponents on the net debating circuit, they can't handle the fact that I know the bible better than them and can humiliate them at every turn..
For example a 'Reverend' Eric Potts once said to me "You disgust me", but it later turned out that Potts is not a real clergyman at all, he's just a jumped-up 'Assistant Minister'.
My bet is he's the caretaker of their local meeting hall and they bestowed that lofty title on him to keep him sweet so he'll carry on slopping out their latrines.

Let's see...judgmental as shit, check. Up your own ass with your arrogance, check. True Christian, you are. The utter bastard would be proud. Only, you're not supposed to be, so he'd condemn you too. 'Cause he's a dick like that.

For fuck's sake, you'd think the people trumpeting this gospel shit would make it look immaculate and yet it's the most incoherent and obscene work of fiction ever produced. That there's no divine interference keeping it from being such a transparently man-made (meaning both printed by, and derived by) load of tripe just hammers home this fact. Your naivete notwithstanding, and your personal interpretation being as lazy as anyone here would expect, why is it you have to ask us these questions if you allegedly know so much?

Here's an analogy for ya. Ever see a movie that you were really looking forward to and it ended up sucking ass, because the studio was dead-set on interfering with it so as to maximize profits, only for their efforts to bite them in the ass? Same idea with the bible. Only, nobody could possibly have saved that truckload of excrement from getting struck by lightning and falling over a cliff.
