To those who believe Bible is not literal...

RE: To those who believe Bible is not literal...
Quote:The bible directs you to use your intelligence and question. http://www.wcg.org/lit/bible/literal2.htm

So your intelligence leads you to this? ROFLOL
But you can have a better conclusion. This scriptures are written by men who want to control people. And these are just superstitions from the bronze age.A far more likely answer to me and to every rational person..
You are taking god's words as literal or illiteral as you pleased. Changing most horrible biblical stories as you like even Pollyanna wouldn't be that much an optimist... Whenever god decided to kill or make someone suffer, You are taking it as figure of speech. But all you have to do is simply reject this savage beliefs. In fact All you need is little courage. I think you too know that your claims are irrational...
Quote:A common complaint. It's the style in which the bible was written. It's not meant to be something you don't have to think about. Belief in god is entirely intellectual. So making it so that you have to think is consistent.
And an accurate complaint. My question is why? and apperently you have no answer... Whose fault that all of those people's death becouse of this?(this is not actually a question!)
Are you that blind? If bible said there are no witches you can't kill people just becouse they are different than you there would be no such things!! But noooo all loving god had to send something poetic.. He doesn't mind if thousands of people died.. Someone always ready to justify his actions for him...
I want you to answer this: Is it fair to couse thousands of death just to tell your words as poems????? Yes or No please!
Quote:Belief in god is entirely intellectual.
So if you are dumb or ignorant villager you shouldn't believe in god. Becouse you might misunderstood its words.And again its not written anywhere in the bible. That's just hilarious. And only theists are allowed to/capable of make(ing) such silly arguments.

Quote:If you are completely innocent you will be judged as such.
Even if I die as an atheist?
okay then Let me give you an example, lets say I was a knight from the middle age who served to ecclesiastical court. And I killed many woman becouse I thougth they were witch. But I did this just for the god. What will happen to me?

Quote:It makes for interesting stories. God is never unjust or bad (despite what the Quran might say ).
If it is clearly classifield as fiction such as lord of the rings its okay. But this book is the word of the god! And people did actually take it seriously and did some really crazy stuff! Even I could see it would turn out like that how can your all knowing god didn't think of it? (and by the way those stories are same in quran almost by letter you can easily believe islam using same "thats not literal" thingTongue)

Quote:Heaven and Hell are primarily about now
What is that mean? umm... You know what forget I asked we have enough to discuss for now..Smile

Quote:Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Gandalf The Gray.
