Have you read the good book?

You know about the missing page from the bible, right? It has text that says, "This book is a work of fiction. Any similarities to people living, dead, or resurrected are purely coincidental."

You know what's funny. Right now I'm playing Far cry Primal and Dying Light -the following.
Both of which have the same disclaimer! One's about cavemen and the other about zombies! Hehehe
No God, No fear.

Takes a real primitive mind to write crap like that and a real dumbass to believe any of it. Primitive mind? Min have you read Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Proverbs, or Hebrews from the NT? Very eloquently written. 
Primitive shitwits. Deal with it, lad.
Shitty philosophy and even shittier poetry. 
Haven't read much at all. My parents once gave me a bible and I thought at the time it would be a worthy goal to know this historically significant book better. But honestly I could never keep my attention on it. The most boring, incoherent pile of miscellaneous pages I've ever opened. But no, I did not read it. I actually have become scripture intolerant. When any thread here fills up with them I move on.

You and me both Mark.
The whole topic of god is mind numbing to me.. Like most athrists here though, I am interested in the psychology behind it...
No God, No fear.

I can't confidently say most parts. I can say I've read some parts. We were taught it in school as fact so I've definitely read some.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason. 
Once, I picked up the big book that my dad had on a shelf.
Found it funny that the guy would think his own creation as good.... over... and over... and over and over... again... Couldn't stop laughing at that bit... I figured it couldn't get any funnier, so I stopped there, at the last day of creation. I've been on this forum since... 2012! (WOW!) and haven't seen any reason to even attempt to read it whole. I'm more interested in figuring out why people believe what they do and how they manage to go on believing in spite of all the reasonable stuff we tell them. 
5 fucking times too.

Influence and superstition is the reason why people believe in religion despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. But we all do it. Look at how we live, what we buy, who we like and dislike, our perception, our desires. A lot of it makes no sense at all. |
