Anything dumber than atheists who incorrectly use the Bible to

"LOL you say homosex is a sin but the Bible ALSO says that you can't walk on your wheat field on a Tuesday night!!! PWNED!!!!!"
You would think that someone intelligent enough to grasp a basic concept like atheism, and who has had such privilege of education, relative to humanity at large, that they have come to embrace atheism, would have at least a modicum of understanding of a text before saying things like this. Yet, there are hordes of these tards out there. |

Date: April 14th, 2014 12:49 PM Author: indecent affirmative action trailer park True. It's much better to point out that Jesus explicitly forbade divorce and remarriage save in very rare circumstances and modern Christians ignore those teachings just like they ignore prohibitions on premarital sex. The funny thing is that an openly and unrepentant gay would not be welcome in most Christian churches, but the ibanker catholic that fucks his gf or new wife on the reg is accepted without question.

Date: April 14th, 2014 1:01 PM Author: Galvanic idea he suggested It is true that a good number of "Christians" in America seem to identify as Christians culturally, but do not give much thought to either the letter or the spirit of Jesus' teachings. That's not particularly surprising when you have a nation of 300 million people that is culturally and historically Christian. Of course these are the people that seem to be abandoning Christianity completely over time. Some evangelicals are actually happy about that fact, believing that these people weren't actual Christians to begin with.
I disagree with your last sentence. |

Date: April 14th, 2014 1:07 PM Author: indecent affirmative action trailer park This is actually a serious theological question.

Date: April 14th, 2014 1:24 PM Author: Galvanic idea he suggested the point behind the OP is not really hard to understand, but i agree with your rhetorical question and answer. however it seems that the actual essence of the gospel is shockingly simple. it can be readily understood by a small child. further, if you were to believe in God as such then you would believe that his nature is not entirely comprehensible by humans. since our universe is clearly not, then its creator who simply willed it into existence is certainly not. as a text that purports to communicate his nature and his actions, we should expect that the bible will not read like a textbook that only applies concepts neatly to our pre-existing modes of understanding and logic, without raising confounding paradoxes and questions without answers.

Date: April 14th, 2014 1:25 PM Author: indecent affirmative action trailer park A child can understand a complex story about the Jewish Messiah needing to be ritually sacrificed in order to purge mankind of sin? Doubtful
God's commands to us have little to do with his nature per se. There are also implications of this argument that I think you would reject, but we don't need to get into them. |

Date: April 14th, 2014 1:30 PM Author: federal tanning salon If the Bible was simplified, Jack Frost would be saying "I mean this simple document is the best GOD could write!?

If it's just a city gate, he's saying that a rich man entering the kingdom of heaven is more difficult than something routine and easy. That's not very descriptive. Saying it is more difficult than something impossible makes more sense- especially in light of the context of the passage (urging a rich man to give up his wealth). |
