Ok lets make this simple.
You said that you interpret the bible's mass killings of children, women, rape and slavery as merely a "thought killing interpretation" which to me, sounds like a pretty fucking HUGE scape goat on your part. Which is what i was trying to argue. Regardless, i have to...
I am not anti god, i think the idea of gods existing has the same probability of the idea of gods not existing. I love the idea of god/gods existing, it is a much more comfortable idea than that of god/gods not existing, yet the truth is... when i am honest with myself, is that i do not know...
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy...
“It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the...
To take in information as it is presented to me with a logical standpoint, is what i like to do most. The physics behind the way the planets move, rotate, and revolve around each other... those for example, are things that i cannot subjectively interpret. Those are ideas that are mathematically...
Contrails are clouds of water formed by hot airplane exhaust in cold skies.
Chemtrails are an alleged conspiracy by which cranks claim that aircraft contrails are a form of chemical dispersal through which the government is attempting to poison people from above. This is a relatively recent...
That's the funny thing about the mind, we can create our own meaning out of everything. Even if the scripture is literally saying the word kill, as in to take a life... we can just say to ourselves, "nah, i don't like the sound of that, i'm gonna pretend it means killing thought, yeah... that...
You do know that the theory of evolution is in the same exact category as the theory of gravity, or the theory of relativity?
You do know that a scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on knowledge that has been repeatedly confirmed...
Ahhh so i guess parts of the bible are taken out of context.... nah motha fucka! lol! You take them out of context when you pick them apart and assign your own meaning to them. The old testament is as part of the bible as any other part of the bible....why? Because it's in... the fuckin...
Really, you wanna talk bible verses? Bro... have you even ever READ the fuckin bible???
(Judges 21:10-24 NLT)
So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including women and children. "This is what you are to do," they said. "Completely...
How did you get these ideas? Did your parents teach you them? Did you read them in a book, or on a television show or movie, or did you make them all up?
Enlightenment to me, is an idea that has come into being, to give hope to those who have given up on life... who have lost the will to live this life for what it is, to desire a life better than the one given to them this moment, right now.
Isn't this enough? This life, this one life, this...
There is a very big difference between reality... the world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them, and theological/metaphysical ideas do not reside in reality.
A famous writer once said- Reality is that which, when you stop...
