oh, you don't think the bible is real? let me throw some bible verses at you, that'll change your mind
This was one of my issues when I was a Christian. There is no external authority that the Bible was the inherent word of God and no way to ensure that the words within it were transcribed or even translated within the Authority of God.
There is a whole study of Bible hermeneutics that is about finding authority within the Bible.
You know how in the show Community Abed was always trying to meta the show? Imagine that, but really not funny and it's taken seriously.
Another problem with Bible (and other similar books) is that it doesn't make sense that omnipotent god would communicate to humans trough vague book that would have many different interpretations and possibly have it's meaning changed a bit with translations to different languages. At least there are Christians who accept that events from Bible never happened.
transcribed or even translated within the Authority of God.
on that topic, in case you haven't seen it, i recommend biblical scholar bart ehrman's presentation on problems with the bible.
the Bible is real. like you can go buy it at Walmart.
Am I allowed to throw all of the Bible verses at someone? Like at the same time.
Legally or physically allowed?
What if I say "heads up" while fastballing that bad boy? Then say oops right after
Only if it’s shrink wrapped, I’d imagine.
or harry potter. if you're throwing books at people, it probably doesn't matter what the books are.
~~book club~~
Cult. It’s a cult.
The bible is real. And very useful, to roll blunts with in a pinch.
They knew what they were doing with those super thin pages. 😉
One of the most frustrating things of dealing with bible people is when the request for proof comes up. They just point at the Bible. Like it’s some text that has deep references to verifiable and cross referenced historical fact. Like Pontious Pilate’s administration leaving records of some guy doing magic on the regular, him getting in fights with rich people, or even just a criminal docket of hanging a magical guy.
Nope. They just point at their book as proof of itself.
I only care insomuch as stupid people use it as a guide for repression.
Can't tell if Atheist or American Christian
