Fixing the bible

RE: Fixing the bible
BULLSHIT, do not try to demonize atheists with this bullshit. Hitler still was an an absolute power just like God is an absolute power. He was not anything close to Jefferson's expression of keeping church and state separate. Christophere Hitchens wrote a book "Jefferson, Author of America", Hitchens was an atheist who despised dictators.

Print the ledgend, and ignore the truth? Is this how you live your life? Formulate a position and only accept the infor obtain that supports your beliefs?

Confirmation bias anyone?

I posted a link on hitler's 'positive christianity.' For thoses who want to know what the truth actually is, even if it means that you have identify your current position/beliefs on this topic as being false.

Understand I have not demonized anyone. I simply put things back into their historical context. I don't care what hitler's proclaimed faith is. His faith does not follow any models except his own.

Your claimed head boss of a character is not elected to his office. Your head character of a boss cannot be voted out of office. Your head character of a boss does not need your consent to rule over you. Your head character also does not have to explain anything to you. Outside god claims, we call such characters dictators.

Congratulations, you worship a dictator.

Even if there are positive things that Hitler did, it's overshadowed by his evil deeds. Much like the bible and the history of christianity itsself.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

What I hate the most is the kneejerk reaction to our blasphemy. It is to the atheist no different than going to a bad movie or reading a very bad book.

There simply is no logic in claiming a being who they cannot deny has absolute final say. That is not the morality humans who value cooperation and consent.

The reason these gods of Abraham were written as such were because of the false perception of your power and success as being from a divine being. And back then even in polytheism your different classes were ruled by royalty, kings, dictators. Thus the gods reflected the cultures of their time.

RE: Fixing the bible
'Fixing' the Bible is an old, old pastime that started with the Christians, who took the Jews' holy book, changed its order, and had the gall to declare it the Old Testament. Since then, they have shamelessly cherry picked which passages they choose to acknowledge and follow (thanks to a scattered handful of NT verses that they think gives them license to do so), have 'found' hundreds of bogus 'prophesies' of Jesus despite the Jews' repeated protests that Christians misunderstand or manipulate those passages, and have wiped their asses with the rest. Then, after centuries of Jewish persecution, they emerge as the self-proclaimed friends of the Jews, mostly because the sick fucks think that modern events in Israel are precursors to the Christian fantasy of the end times and the orgy of violence (including the destruction of most Jews) that so many of them can't wait to see started. One needs an ark just to stay afloat on that sea of self-serving bullshit.

I doubt Rabbi Yeshua would be amused.

READ the artical.

Positive Christianity was not positive because of good things hitler did. It was considered 'positive' because it supported everything hitler did.

"Fixing" any ancient book of myth is merely marketing to stay relevant. Humans would do far better to be intellectually honest by giving up on bad claims. Questioning social norms is why women can now vote and blacks are no longer slaves.

Bolding added.

You'll get no argument from me. Tell it to the Christians and other myth-mongers.

Drippy, you dumb fuck, Hitler killed jews. He did not bother editing books.

Grow the fuck up, boy.

P.S. In killing Jews Hitler was merely continuing a thousand years of xtian anti-semitism. You might say he perfected it.
