do you think before you write?Quote:
There is nothing contradictory in the Holy Bible - people find what they want. If you go looking for contradictions you find them.
You misunderstood my point, people who want to find something wrong with the Holy Bible will find it. It's not that there is really anything wrong there, they want it to be wrong or inconsistent, etc. so they say it's wrong or inconsistent.
Of course I understand your point. It’s just that your point is idiotic. You can search the Earth for unicorns and you won’t find any, no matter how hard you look or how badly you want to find them, because there are none to be found. Not the case with contradictions in the Bible. They’re there for everyone to see. You don’t have to want to find them. Almost every curious child finds them by the dozens. What you have to do and work really hard to explain them away and cover them up. Tedious attempts to obfuscate and hide the obvious are usually enough to turn off the curiosity of any child; yet another reason why religion, when followed blindly and obstinately, is child abuse.
Your "point" is that God's word cramps your hobby QED God word must be inconsistent. When a world has no moral absolutes the world becomes a relative chaos that one day will come round to bite those who initially enjoyed it's lack or morality.
And your point Zippy, is that the bible is the literal word of God, the foundation of all that is good and the moral compass that drives civilization.
Funny, a billion Indians and 1.3 billion Chinese don't agree with you.
Huckabee deserves to be made fun of, along with anyone else who steadfastly believes the world was 'created' in 6 days and is only 6000 years old. What verifiable evidence can they put forth to support any of their claims? None. Where is the evidence of the monumental flood? There isn't any. Did Jonah really live inside a whale for 3 days and nights? I don't think so.
As a series of morality tales, the bible can be very instructive. Believe anymore than that and you are a luddite.
In mathematics QED is used to designate the end of a proof. However, a mere misstatement of somebody else’s point does not a proof make. Who said the world has no moral absolutes? I’m merely saying the Bible is not a reliable place to find them. The Bible is full of contradictions. From just a single contradiction everything follows. From the contradictions in the Bible all manner of hobbies can be and have been justified; all manner of silliness, obscenity, horror and atrocity. It’s time for the world to grow up and put away its childish legends.Quote:

oh my god - it's true - some americans really do think the bible is 'true'!!!!!! are they mad - it's a library of books written by hundreds of different people over the course of a thousand or more years as the story of one particular tribe that expanded in what is now Israel....it is not something to be taken as the complete history of the world. and the bible most of us know is a selection of many more books that were discarded as inconvenient to the ruling powers at the time.
if you have been taught never to challenge the bible, i am sorry for you. you have a brain and you should use it - if you wish to believe in something, then find out about it and prove it to yourself - don't simply believe because that's what you are told to do.
as for the cheap shots at professor richard dawkins - as he says - at least his fundamentalist belief in Darwinism (and mine) doesn't mean he beheads non-believers nor flies his planes into their buildings, and he and i are both completely prepared to change views if provable evidence is available.
religion - it's for the ill-educated masses - wakey wakey america
Hey fitfred if you were in the assassination business you couldn't handle in a locked closet with a grenade. Godless liberals like yourself believe in lots of things that have been proven false but you continue to believe them. Here is a partial list:
1. Anyone can get AIDS. Actually, you get AIDS be having someone shoot an infected load of semen up your ass. The whole "get tested" campaign is a load of crap for heterosexuals.
2. The government pulled off 911 for oil. Moonbat alert!
3. Global warming is real. LOL!
4. There is no God. This has to be true if you want to have a hobby as in item #1 above.
5. Bush lied about WMD.
6. Iraq would be better if saddam was left in power.
When one sins enough and is lucky enough to hear God talking to him about how life is not working out the way he planned it, one knows there is a God.
The God I pray to created the universe in 6 days and rested on the 7th. He spoke the universe into existence.
Tell that to half the continent of Africa where the disease is rampant among heterosexuals, drug users anywhere who share needles, hemophiliacs and anyone else who contracted it by blood transfusions.Quote:

I don’t know many liberals who believe this one. The people who do believe are nut cases and can be found of both the liberal and conservative persuasions.Quote:
2. The government pulled off 911 for oil. Moonbat alert!
Again it doesn’t take a liberal to subscribe to this one, just a brain. Very few climatologists (a group of divergent political leanings) dispute over the occurrence of global climate change.Quote:
3. Global warming is real. LOL!
This too is not a liberal thing. Almost nobody in Europe (neither liberal nor conservative) believes in that fairy tale any more.Quote:
4. There is no God. This has to be true if you want to have a hobby as in item #1 above.
I can't say whether Bush lied or told what he thought was the truth; and neither can you. What everyone does know (except for a miniscule portion of die-hard bush supporters) is that Bush was seriously wrong about WMD’s in Iraq.Quote:
5. Bush lied about WMD.
Without a doubt, there would have been a few hundred million less dead Iraqi’s, they’d be al Qaeda free, they’d have a defense against Iran, they’d still have an infrastructure, and a sectarian, if tyrannical government. You can be the judge whether that’s better than the shit they got now.Quote:
6. Iraq would be better if saddam was left in power.
If you’re plagued by your “sins” and you start hearing voices, it’s time to change your life style and maybe see a doctor. Perhaps your hatreds are getting the better of you. You might stop thinking of Middle Easterners are camel jockeys. You might entertain political solutions other than “nukem”. I find it somewhat ironic that the god you pray to is a little tribal desert god. The desert religion took over the classical spirit of the western world when Rome fell and Europe slowly drifted into the dark ages.
Sounds to me like you're justifying your own false belief by attempting to point out that others maintain false beliefs. Exactly how does that work? Are you saying god doesn't exist but you believe anywhay!!?? Oh and by the way, not one thing on your list is an example of something that is BOTH false AND is a characteristic belief of liberals. Try again.Quote:
