    All the contradictions of the bible

    Hi peoples aiki Maybe, though there's not much open mindedness in calling a belief in ancient myths 'supremely rational' and then reject modern science and all it has led us to understand about the world. Light refraction has always occurred and always will, there's nothing divine about it, I...

    All the contradictions of the bible

    Thankyou Hawkins Let me just say, you remind me of this character below. What ? I thought all misery was brought on by the original sin, wasn't it mans doing, we'd all be in the garden of eden if Eve hadn't eaten that apple!! From the Hell he created himself. Isn't that similar to...

    All the contradictions of the bible

    Hi aiki There wasn't sarcasm involved with my request, I find it odd that you feel there was. There was a light hearted taint of course, I feel there had to be, as real talking serpent snakes and the descriptor 'supremely rational' really shouldn't be used together. From where I sit, the...

    All the contradictions of the bible

    Yes, you are funny ebia Is that why you break out the poetry in your mathematics class ? Or maybe thats why Judges use alot of poetry in courtrooms when trying to determine the truth of the crime at hand, not to mention all that poetry professors use when giving university lectures. :) No...

    All the contradictions of the bible

    Ok 'struggle free', here are the words from your god, if you think this is all oK, I fear for your family. No need for comments here, that just sad. Oh, its Ok to beat your slaves, as long as they don't die. I see this as horrific, not loving.

    All the contradictions of the bible

    Thanks for the (many) replies guys. If I can I might just address them line by line in an impersonal manner, not due to my wanting, but morseo my lack of php formatting capability:) True, I did, I hope you noted it does actually state the complete opposite of what you mentioned (2). Well we...

    All the contradictions of the bible

    Great replies, thanks here's a couple that i can remember Knowingly creating evil is not an act of perfection in my eyes, neither is it just and right, so somethings askew there. It also doesn't take the bible to work out killing people is an immoral and wrongful act, I'm sure the bible...

    The word "faith"...

    Sorry nicknack, looking back at my post it was a tad vague. I also visited dictionary.com and I thought by omitting all the the definitions supplied, you would indirectly receive mine. From my experiences also with faithful people, the words 'trust' and 'hope' are often used in conjunction or...

    All the contradictions of the bible

    Apparently I'm a noob!

    I think you're only intentions in asking me are to put me down and not out of genuine wanting to learn and I have little care to argue with anyone like that. Sorry immortal, I was simply asking a question about what led you to choose christianity amongst all other religions, no more no less...

    Apparently I'm a noob!

    Hi immortal, I'm sure when you selected christianity as your chosen religion there was something about it that captured your imagination and made it stand out from all the others as the one to become involved in ? Many people worldwide simply drift into the religion their parents were taught...
