To those who believe Bible is not literal...

[annatar]

If they understood wrong they're still wrong. If I read out of context that the bible condones taking an eye for an eye, then I would be doing something against what Christ would have done.

But it wouldn't be your fault either.

If "I" do something anti Christ then "I'm" doing something anti Christ. Who's fault is it?

Not yours if you don't have clear instructions about which is christ and which is anti christ.

The bible isn't so unclear.

then why so many people believed that bible is literal?
Yes bible is not unclear if you take it literal. But your explainations to the verses of bible.....
Lets just say you're really imaginative...

People get things wrong. Did you notice that? The bible is quite clear, no imagination required. Literalism = ignorance k.

People get things wrong easily when they dont have clear instructions.
Bible is not clear I would asked for you to explain noah's ark or sodom and gomorrah or story of job.
But I know you will make up some lunetic explainations and say this is clear...

Are you saying that if the bible isn't literal than it's bullshit? Or that the bible is absolutely literal in your opinion? I see zero statements to support your assertion, so am forced to conclude nothing different to what I previously thought, just like any other reader.

Im saying that your excuses about bible being illiteral is bullshit. Bible itself is also bullshit. bible has no secret divine meaning other than its obvious meanings.

No secret no. No literal bollocks either. Literalism is intellectually indefensible, hence why I can't support it. Just one point to back up your assertion would be good.

lets see...
I believe bible is bullshit Becouse there is no evidence to prove bible is the words of god. Becouse bible is full of contradictions. Becosue stories in bible contains violence, hatred towads homosexuals, intolerance to unbelievers. Becouse god in bible constantly acting like a jerk. And I believe your assumption of bible being illiteral is bullshit becosue you dont have anything logical to back up your "bible is not literal" assertion.(how is that now?)

Reason is something you are not familiar I believe...

Yet you seem incapable of demonstrating why.

Actually you seem incapable of noticing them. My conclusion is created under the facts that I clearly mentioned several times.
But I know its a waste of time. You wont see the truth Even if its as clear as a bell..
I am actually waiting the moment that you will say "your posts are not literal.."

I've explained the huge illogicality of your points, and you have no argument. This leads me to conclude that your points are invalid, unless you can make one stick.

No you didn't explained you just said its illogical. telling something illogical does not make it so. And you are ignoring the facts that I based on.

Face the truth anna and don't stay things you can't support with reasoon.

yes bible for example has nothing to do with reason yet you are continually defending it....
I am telling my reasons. And they are logical. You just dont agree with them. And I understand that. becouse if you agree with me you will have to stop believing in christianity. And it seems you are not ready for this step.(I hope one day you will be.)

Edit:

The premise of xtianity is the need for faith. If God provided solid proof there would be no need for faith. Get it?

oh I missed this one.. You were having problems with recognizing illogicality. That statement pretty much is the definition of illogicality..

How so anna? Yet again a baseless assertion.

"The premise of xtianity is the need for faith. If God provided solid proof there would be no need for faith. Get it?"
1-So why did jesus turned the water into wine or walked on water? What's the reason of those miracles? they seemed solid proofs to me..
2-Why do god needs people to have faith? Is he lacking selfesteem? This request is so ungodlike...

3-You are telling that god wants us to accept whatever he told us without evidence? If so, wouldn't be the 'believing in bible literally' a logical conclusion?

Ps: I am asking questions but they are not literal questions.. Some of them are just here to point out the obvious answers.
