The Bible vs. Sex

[UA_Iron]

I've read the book, dear, that's why I can call it silly, not to mention it's a piece of crap from a purely literary POV. However, read it objectively, the promotion of mysogyny, bigotry, abuse, subjugation of those different from you, etc., etc., etc., is utterly horrifying.

Do you really think the Great Creator of the Universe could possibly be as petty and immature, emotionally, as promoted in that book? I'd rather believe in NO god, at all, than believe god is the biggest asshole in the universe.

and man created god, in his image.

I've gone over it before and the major sections in different classes, I know what every book is about. Even once you do read the bible, its very difficult to remember everything from everywhere. I use concordances to look up important issues, and other types of searches.

cmon samoth, I thought you were one of the good people here, and now you are telling me you have no respect and want me to kill myself, wtf?

You're the one with conflicting morals based on a book you explicitly stated you never completely read.

well, I think it's the book that's confusing us......it doesn't gel with what we're seeing out there. When people open their hearts.......they kind of start to see the intolerance, ie evil, of the book. To call that book the "perfect will of god"?? Wowsa.......I would only reserve judgement on that book if I was privy to it's original version.....and also the writings of jesus himself, which myteriously has vanished.

Yes the do do this, I agree. Thats why whenever we have this discussion on here about religion or the bible or christians, I STRONGLY encourage people so stop basing their view of the bible or god on HUMANS and read the book for yourself. THAT is the answer, not the feedback from humans. We screw the perfect will of god up on a constant basis, myself included. People judge a book by it's messenger and claim they are open minded. Thats the last thing they are. PLEASE, don't take a humans word for it, go read the bible.

Hell, just fuck and whore around. What's the point of worrying? By the own "catch" of the Bible you can just ask forgiveness and ZINGO!! a new clean slate.

Never ever have sex with anyone. It's horrible. I cry myself to sleep every night from the memories of my own inadequacies. And then I wake up, get my ass back on that proverbial horse and fail miserably at trying to please a few more women.

Thou shalt not judge others.

i like to think of God as a big baseball fan. and i think what he wants most is effort. as long as you're playing hard, all is good. try and play by the rules. if ya don't, you get benched. or suspended. or traded to a team in the 9th Circle of Hell....

Okay this is great advice.....

On occasion, I'd agree.
