Yes, your distain for over bearing thunder chucker's is valid. But to support that with the crap you are spouting about the bible is quite foolish. I can prove the bible is a book with far more reason than they can prove it is the only word of the god. But this 'evil god" angle is flat out stupid.
This " ... so anything goes then ..." slant is just amazing to me. Why in your-no-god's name would any reasonable person think this? I mean past your average high schooled drunk or college professor it makes no sense. Can you show me why " ... anything goes ..." because we don't agree on one interpretation and that any interpretation must then be valid?
Yep, reading your post I don't see any of that there loop-de-loop bs in your take alright.
Okay. Take a nice, deeeeep breath. Count to ten. Wipe the spittle off your monitor. Then actually respond to the points I made.
Lmao ... done:
Stay on topic
1) I reject your literal bible. You will have to provide more reasonable proof. You have some convoluted logic that leads you to have to take the bible literally. I don't. Most Jews don't use the torah literally (the old T). And the early church only assembled the bible from a group of writings back then. Your line of logic for a literal bible just doesn't have merit.
2) I reject your notion that if we can use it metaphorically that we then can make up anything we want and it be considered "rational". Like your 'evil god" slant. You think that I am wrong stating that "... you are held accountable ..." can be taken out of the bible. You said something like I pulled it out of my butt. Your take on a literal bible is bull sit. So all your claims using a literal bible are bull sit. They are logical fallacies.
now, if you just want to jump around insulting and degrading theist. That's is on you. But don't push you take on the bible as anything more than that.
