TET: Are we there yeeeet?

[Murkwood]

Say what you want, but the Bible doesn't rant.

Subject to personal interpretation that, but as someone who's read over 5 different versions of it, it is a mighty macabre and sometimes self-contradictory book.

Meh, but it's not ranting. It's pretty calm and reserved in some spots.

He could send that bible cartridge for the Game Boy...

Bible Battle: The Quest for Heaven, out now for the GameBoy, GameBoy Color, and a special SNES edition.

No, there's seriously a cartridge of the whole text of the bible for Game Boy. It's like an e-book, except far worse.

Like the Skeptic's Bible?

You mean The God Delusion? I can send you a copy.

Certainly an interesting book, but The Selfish Gene is better.

[Bralia]

The irony. I could say the same of the Bible.

Say what you want, but the Bible doesn't rant.

True. But it certainly inspires people to rant on its behalf.

And genocidal in others. I mean, what did the inhabitants of Jericho do wrong?

[Torisakia]

I wanted Luvdisc.

That book is more science/evolution-oriented, isn't it?

Fun fact: Richard Dawkins is the person who coined the term "meme".

I've heard of that. He was referring to some gene, wasn't he?

Christian here. I can't find any contradictions in it. Care to point out some?

There are websites for that as I do not wish to go on a rant here or dwell too much on the subject (textually speaking, the 4 Gospels aren't all that consistent either), but I'd draw your attention to the difference between Christ's and Paul's stances on faith in practice. There are also instances of incest (the early Patriarchs) and adultery (David), among others.

Whether you wish to view that as proof of the humanity of the divine intervention in the story, or the diversity of those who participated in it, or the scriptures' inconsistency as a whole and its status as a glorified piece of literature, is entirely up to the reader. I won't dictate on believers, skeptics or atheists. I just call it as I read it. Interpretations vary and I respect that.

[Hurdegaryp]

True. But it certainly inspires people to rant on its behalf.

Like that special snowflake who has been banned from the forum for ten days because of his ceaseless preaching. Pretty sure that Jesus freak actually damaged Christianity in the minds of many, because mechanical dogmatism does that.

Nah, you are a Magikarp.

[Benshir]

The Books of Psalms, Proverbs, Wisdom, Acts and Judges. All I've ever needed to get by.

Meh, I don't remember the specifics.

I'll have to find out more about the Christ-Paul differences.

In the case of the early Patriarchs, there weren't exactly that many people around, so incest would have been the only way to carry on the family line. In the case of Lot and his daughters, that's an example of backsliding.

David's adultery, on the other hand, was an example of Man's evil nature. The important thing is that he repented of it after that.

Not quite. Dawkins, after explaining how genes, which are self-replicating molecules, pretty much dictate how life works as an instrument to allow genes to continue replicating, also said that there was something similar in human culture. Cultural phenomenons that manage to stay in the minds of people for prolonged periods of time are considered memes.

My approach to Evangelism is different. I don't believe in mindlessly criticising other religions. Rather, I prefer to just share about Christ, clarify any doubts as well as I can and let the person decide for himself.

I will take it. And then no one will ever get it back, even from my cold dead hands.

[Ethel mermania]

I is rather overwhelming, yes. I wanted to be a marketer with supplementary Financial Management skills, but IT's reshaping the way we do things. Drastically and at an alarming rate.

Meaning forcing me into something I both don't know about nor particularly like.

welcome to the real world. your job lets you live, you do not live for your job.

But I wanna take the quiz too

You're welcome to visit me in River Valley anytime then.

Some of the most interesting and engaging talks I've had on the Abrahamic line of religions were with Jews.

This whole MtW is going to be about anal lube....


I might pass out from laughing.
