you think God wrote the bible himself? bible is man-made and fallible. not to mentino, the bulk of its rules (which i rather imagine most people break regularly) are outdated for modern society
Really? Not that I'm of a Christian based faith, but which ones? Like killing and adultery? Perhaps the one about no false idols? I know which one's out dated, the one about stealing being bad.
ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.' Jewish Propaganda TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.' Jewish Propaganda THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.' Jewish Propaganda FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.' Jewish Propaganda FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.' Sometimes there is nothing to honor SIX: 'You shall not murder.' Duh SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.' Word invented by Jews EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.' Duh NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.' Duh TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.' I'll covet anything I fucking want to covet. Fuck you!
'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.' That one really gets me every time.
What GOD WANTs.... GOD GETS......... GOD GETS......GOD GETS....What GOD Wants.... GOD GETS........... GOD HELP US ALL....
2 Timothy 3:16: "ALL scripture is given by inspired of God, and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight for disciplining in righteousness." edit: here is another just for fun Romans 15:4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
my english professor made a joke about mother mary being a whore. He wears gigantic wool sweaters and has a white beard and glasses that cover half his face.
there are many rules other than the ten commandments. and an astounding amount of those rules seem totally pointless in modern day society, in fact, if you were to follow the bible literally, you would be highly frowned upon. some of the things it says: women are inferior to men masturbation is evil gay men should be stoned to death if you're really interested, google it. you'll be shocked by some of the things in the bible, like this. if the god in charge of christianity really wrote the whole bible, that just reaffirms the choices I've made once again.
Thats okay, we are Christians, we are forgiving...You can say anything you want and insult Mother Mary, Jesus... However, if you said anything about Allah or Muhamed, we'd burn flags and foreign embassies.
you've also said that religion demands practicing, and that it demands sacrifices. so what does practicing religion mean? you either allow for people to interpret their holy book on their own or you don't. if you're not meant to follow it literally, then who decides what you should or shouldn't follow?
