Did he die for your sins, or was he a common schizophrenic?

There's a simple question there: Do you want to be saved?

Solipsism is idiotic lol . It's certainly possible, but stop and ask yourself how likely it is

Pretty hard to follow the bible(s) literally when they're full of inconsistencies in all fairness. I suppose you can try and sort the rational and moral from the irrational and immoral and accept the core beliefs but I would find it more sensible to discard the religion as a whole for its unsubstantiated and inconsistent beliefs. To each their own.

whether or not they were written to be open to interpretation or not, they were still written during a vastly different time. a lot of religious texts tend to be very symbolic though, specifically hindu and buddhist texts, so i don't see why the bible would be any different.


I look at the bible as more of a piece of art, though that might be a frowned upon conception of it. It is fallen man.


You dont really sound like a Christian, more like an Agnostic


Yeah, well I'm a Christian. Like I said, it's more personal for me than secondhand through man-at-the-time's writing on it.

Buddhism is a great religion and I take no issue with it. Hinduism is actually the reverse of Christianity. Nothing horrible is in the Vadas to my knowledge, but devout Hindi people will sometimes slaughter newborn babies they believe are on the verge of ascension

Have you read the old testament? It was created out of necessity. The laws in there about stoning and such are meant to be taken quite literally, factually. At the time, those punishments were considered just and fair by the society of man. Coincidence?

christians and catholics nowadays pick and choose in the things they want to believe in or follow from the bible

If Yawah of the old testament came down to earth today, the Phelps family would ascend. That would be the rapture. That's it. It's pillars of salt for the rest of you

If you believe in some other version of Christianity that does not have public stonings, that's nice and all, but you're not following the bible.

The Westboro Baptist Church are the most earnest and dedicated followers of the bible


See, you are absolutely and utterly wrong when you say someone isn't following the bible, and you're incredibly ignorant if you believe everything in the bible was supposed to be taken literally
