It's not that simple. You fail to consider that the OT describes the prophesied Messiah, or that Jesus does not not meet the description.

Why do you ignore these problems?

The thread title is outer space unfu-king believable...............so some cat with wings fly's in and out of heaven, bangs an apparent mortal whore [adams woman] then gets location directions too, then fly's to, and is the automatic boss of hell for eternity.

This? Coming from a guy that thinks a
KT who firmly believed in Christ created the
miracle of the Shroud of Turin but that Christ
is a myth?!

Since you brought it up, baldhunter...

What began as a mass of ever-embellished verbal stories in Aramaic and other languages is finally collected in about the year 600, with about a third of them being discarded or rejected before being written down in ancient Greek. Later dubiously translated into ancient Latin and even more centuries later into Chaucerian English, early German, and other languages. Then continually revised, re-translated, abridged, and essentially re-written from scratch.

Until today, we are told to accept it word for word. (Coming soon: The Bible in Ebonics!)

But it’s the WORD OF GOD, they say. So is the Quran, the Talmud, as well as the texts of Buddhism, Taoism, and at least a dozen other “isms” of the thousands of other religions practiced in history and around the globe. Is yours the one and only “right” religion? Yes, say the believers of each and every one of them. Is your book the one and only word of god? Yes, say the believers of each and every one of them.

Why not...it is as believable as any of the rest of it.

The Bible is written in symbolic language,also some books have been removed as well which leads to even more unanswered questions.

Yes, there were adam and eve, they had cain and able, cain killed able, that leaves adam, eve and cain, if banging kinfolk is wrong in the book, where the fook did everyone else come from, the black? the chinaman, the dot head injuns, eskimos??????????????????

All animals on a big boat for 40 days and nights, what did they eat, where did they shlt? apparently there was plenty of water to drink,,,,,,,,,,everyone else in the world drown, here we are back to banging kin folk again.

Building a tower to the heavens, then all of a sudden all men on the work crew have a different language and cant communicate, yeah okay. like they had that fu-king ladder in the right spot anyway, double fu-k me!

praise be and pass that offering platter Brother!

I've found the first four books of the New Testament to be a very valuable guide to approaching life no matter who wrote them, as good as anything else ever written, and following the advice therein is a definite path to happiness or contentment or whatever one's soul is searching for. The Old Testament has some gems scattered throughout but you gotta get through the slaughtering, adultery and all the good soap opera stuff to find it.

But - and not saying this just to debate or piss off anybody - one can also find equally good advice in the Dharma of Buddha and Taoist works as well, plus works of the stoic philosophers Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus. Heck, a fellow could do a lot worse than just reading Tolstoy's short stories. There are lots of others but these examples are among the ones I'm most familiar with.

So Eve prances around the forest, tatas (small, so there is rhat) akimbo and Bush pilot worthy snatch out there for Adam to see (and probably smell as this was before the days of Femenique). Eve gets pissed at Adam ignoring her so the Devil turns himself into a John Holmes look alike snake, bribes Eve with an apple (yeah, right), knocks the bottom out of her, so god gets pissed, throws them out of "Paradise" (no air conditioning, color TV, fast cars OR nice guns), makes them wear clothes and the rest is history? So where did the coloreds and the zips come from? riiight...Good post, Rock...

....... if banging kinfolk is wrong in the book, where the fook did everyone else come from,.....

We havin' a pot luck after the services?

I was always bummed, we Catholics didn't do that often.

Sometimes when I was in Scouts, we had pancake breakfasts, but we never had no big baskets of fired chicken and homemade apple pies after the preachin'

Exactly. If banging kinfolk was wrong, West Virginia would not exist.

OldHat, my postulated Og didn't know a whole lot about orographic uplift, so he credited the appearance of clouds and rain to...well, something invisible up there. Which quickly morphed into somebody invisible up there. Somebody just like himself, but clearly all-powerful and all-knowing. In short, a god in his own image.

That's a scenario a whale of a lot more probable than any construct and web of highly improbable contradictions we made up to support the first manufactured one.

I agree.


God said he would protect His word. For me that is knowing. It's knowing because I act on that belief as if it were absolute truth. My job is not to make you believe anything.

Religion only really cares about "life" after death, and salvation doesn't require leading a "good life". What a terrible mindset to be introducing to young and malleable minds of children.

Disciples called to make Disciples, the call of all Christians is to reach all.
