Why discriminate?

i think the fact that the bible is a piece of written work is enough to prove any aurgument with a rational being

My friend I'd have to disagree. The bible is almost 2000 years old, written far after Jesus died, has been translated gosh knows how many times and to encorporate what political dogma the leaders of the era chose... I don't think it's any more reliable than published claims that aliens have been sticking probes up American trailerpark citizens' arses for the last umpty-ump years or that they built the pyramids.

Damn, I must be sickening with something. Heres ME(!!!) giving the benefit of the doubt.

My old Sargeant would have me shot so he would.

Kelreth. I have a book here written by one Joseph Stalin, saying it was O.K to kill millions of Georgians.

Do I go and get my gun now?

With me been a kinda rational being an' all. Because it's written it MUST be right. Right?

There. THAT feels better.

Thanks for the rationality shot Crazy Healer Lady.

Trouble is, the thread remains open, and newbies do not know it's dead.

But their questions and thoughts on the topic may be worth listening too.

lol sorry i wasnt being sarcastic enough then.

I beleive that the bible is a piece of work writtent ot enfold the masses into beleiving a history that never existed and never will. There are peices missing, entire chapters destroyed. It is a piece of polititcal work nothing more. Thusly, the bible is nothing more than a common book of which i have several lying on my desk.


lol teh guys not coming back cause he knows he cant win

and i am a noob sry...

Aye, your origional comment was a bit ambiguous. But perhaps the judicious use of our large collection of smilies may help to add sarcasm or irony, that other wise may be lost over the web, or in ones writting style.

As Arcanum Owl said, this thread was considered by most to be dead.

The moderators just haven't worked out where to bury it yet.

I think if you are interested in the topic, and have a serious point to make about it, then I would, if I were you, start a new thread on one of the main discussion boards.

That is just too insanely funny! *pats Kelroth on back after picking herself up from the floor* I thought you were completely serious and could not understand how you could be so reasonable in every other post and so ridiculous in this one! Gods we should all be in person where the sarcastic undertones can be detected!

Mayhap I will just lock the topic then They can read all they want, but no more will we see new threads in this topic.

Tell this to any, strict and 'mainstream' LDS missionary or bishop around Utah. I happen to live in Utah, where Christianity is mostly overruled by the Mormons. So Pagans here face a whole new strain of what I like to call 'bleached and starched' people. If you EVER said to a Mormon that their precious Book of Mormon and the Bible are nothing but fairy tales, which I avidly believe they are, they flip OUT. I tried to read through both books and gave up, because why should I need to read something that is not accurate, not real, and not written in an English I can understand. (Old English sounds great, but it's a b*** to read!) If I need something to believe, I should be able to know it by heart without being told by others, which eliminates the need to follow the flock. For the record, that's not the only reason my Mormon 'friends' avoid me. I'm Pro-choice, and (secretly, in a house that's already too judgmental...) I do support gays/lesbians/asexuals. I have nothing against Christians or Mormons, but a good portion of them will not change, but will force those around them to change with them.
