can someone explain to me how a place that's supposed to (most of the time at least) promote the idea that critical thinking should be of the utmost importance and that one shouldn't blindly follow any public opinion just because it's spread by the wide masses be totally obsessed over a pile of nonsense like pic related?
why is it that these (mostly) rational, free-thinking people start hissing and screaching autistically whenever it's pointed out that their beloved book is just a pile of shitty nonsense thrown together by some druggies in a cave 2000 years ago, decades or even centuries after it supposedly happened? and then it was collected and made into a book by a bunch of wayward, corrupt clerics how decided what to include and exclude at their own leisure?
seriously, if you blindly follow what's written in there and what all the preachers say about it (seriously, what reason in the world would you have to listen to someone rant about how they interpret all that lunacy?) you're not better than the retards on american college campuses listening to those faggoty sjw speakers.
sounds like youre scared of the truth and have to pretend like "it was just some druggies who made the bible"

Society can work well with a shared moral system. You don't have to literally believe in God, to benefit from the Bible.
Religion is a tool for control.
James Wood
that's what I'm talking about. how on earth can you believe it to be the truth? what you're doing is blindly accepting what others say, what your mom and dad taught you based on what? just think for a fucking second.

You seem to lack the gift of critical thinking and discernment. >For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
>For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
>Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
... >But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
>But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
>But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

The bible is a book of symbol and mystery. You don't take it as literal truth, but as moral and philosophical truth.

i do
Michael Hall
Only some parts are literally true.
Nathaniel Bailey
no i take it all literally sorry youre not a true believer and want to corrupt the word of god
Jack Johnson
You can only take it literally with additional context if you want to know the truth. It is highly mystical and metaphorical.

Your a special kinda stupid aren't you.
Also op scripture is what gave early man a basis for their moral compass, without it we would still be raping each others wives, having gay monkey butt sex and killing each other in caves living like animals . Old testament was when the prophets had to use the fear of god and the promise of greater rewards at a later time to subdue the early unevolved corrupt, piece of shit humans to act decently. New testament is when humans had established a basic sense of morality and love could be used to teach an even high sense of morality.
The people that wrote holy books were far wiser and smarter then your feeble short sighted mind could possibly imagine, they saw what potential the human race held and they set about bringing their vision into reality by any means necesary.
Yes religion is a system of control, but long term it is a system of control that has enabled humans to work together and build the innovations and civilisations you see before you to today.
Owen Moore
Also op
If you want to see the plans the prophets had laid out for humanity to consciously evolve, here it is, they are simply following the blueprint of creation.
>t.reprobate sodomite Is burning in Hell with Satan and his SJW/kike minions is part of your plan.
Daniel Russell
But the parts of fearing God is real. Existence will be hellish if you don't walk the path of light regardless of what religion you follow.

Around 580 B.C., Ezekiel wrote: “For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people. He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee. And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers. By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach. With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground. And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water. And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard. And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.” (Ezekiel 26:7−14) From verse 7 to 11, Nebuchadnezzar is mentioned through the pronoun “he” and from verse 12, “he” disappears and another pronoun appears: “they” (some translations mention an indefinite someone instead).

After 13 years of siege, Nebuchadnezzar took control of the main part of the city but could never seize the harbor (which was on an extremely well fortified island). Then after over 200 years of nothing happening, Alexander the Great came and had his men drop the ruins of the city into the sea to form a bridge allowing them to reach the harbor and BTFO Tyrus for good. In 1291, the harbor was finally demolished by the Muslims and has never been reconstructed since (despite its perfect location for commerce). It is now a fishers’ village (where people ''spread their nets'').
As Jesus-Christ and his disciples looked at the temple from the mount of Olives, He said this: “And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” (Mark 13:2)
In 70, Titus had the temple destroyed in such a meticulous way that to this day some people believe it has never existed.
Egyptian chariot wheels have been found at the bottom of the Red Sea (youtu.be/Lzb4ekyX1kc). The ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah have been found (youtu.be/Y2xv3XwOVaQ). It turns out they are full of ashes, rock formations possible only at very high temperatures and chunks of brimstone with over twice as much sulfur as in volcanic rocks.
Conclusion: There is empirical evidence for God's existence, the validity of His Bible and His judgement of dumb LARPagans. Salty Atheists just refuse to see the truth because muh buttsecks with my boyfriend's fuck buddy is too pleasurable. Besides, those shitty-ass LARPolics using the Aquinas Power Point thing and the Protties who just say "cause the Bible says so" just spoonfeed them with reasons for strawmanning.
Praised be YHWH, the God of Abraham, Yizchak and Ya'akov who blesses those whom accept His only Son Yeshua as the Messiah!
