okay then

I was given two verses from Leviticus

he didnt

there we go, you were disproven

yep

_my_ argument with you is over

would you mind telling me why nothing about bible is dumb

because it's a perfect history book, as I told you before it is poorly translated, and from poor translations idiots like you find advantages in strawmanning their verses

it's not poorly translated

it's pretty crappy

strawmanning their verses? "BIble supports slavery" is not a strawman

it's written by men

and ultimately has human flaws

it's written by men

and thus it can't claim to be divine revelation

and translated by other men

no shit halo

because a divine revelation would supercede all flaws

true as I said Christianity is dumb

the Bible is a really good history book

also st paul was pretty fucking homophobic and sexist

again, "bible supports slavery" is not a strawman

as is the old testament

however that piece of work has managed to alter the course of history permanently

plenty of things that are "immoral" in a 21st century society but also called dumb by idiots who have no fucking clue of the circumstances of the Biblical times

id hardly say it's dumb per se

@HaloNest you don't have to be _that_ rude to him, he's on your side

he's also dumb

cult

I don't want him by my side

um we're on the cult side here

we "stick by each other"

or else we call each other shills

lmao

rip

@HaloNest Does the time it was based in make it not dumb?

indeed

granted slavery was fine then

yes

so was stoning people

well that would make all literature of its time dumb

but some literature makes sense

as does certain parts of the bible indeed

it's thanks to the Bible that slavery was ended in western civilizations

no it was thanks to basic human morality that it was ended

morality that changed overtime

due to many factors

not the bible

yes the Bible

the bible could very well have justified slavery too

the modern church has an interpretation of the Bible

that goes against slavery

it does anyways

not really

look back 80 years

again it's an interpretation

yes of course

if you go by its fundamental and literal sense

you could find all sorts of justifications

not really

it's like reading the law codes of ancient hebrews from an history book

yes really

Bible is historically accurate?

well if it's just law codes of ancient hebrew times, then it belongs in the annals of history

the Bible is pretty historically accurate

also correct

it can hardly be justified as religious literature

true indeed

which is applicable in modern times

true

and it is

im not sure about the "pretty historically accurate" bit though

idk enough about history for that

there are a bit of incomprehensions due to the poor tralsation

yes there are some evidences backed by archaeology

but it isn't majorly qualified to say be a historical source for example

Genesis is poorly translated

the word used for days in the creation doesn't mean day

it can mean era aswell

genesis

isn't the genesis creation story borrowed from the babylonian creation myth

the bible isnt historically accurate at all

and from some other creation stories of that time?

sure they are

most stories of the Bible are taken by nearby cultures

that's why I said "pretty accurate"

yeah

not completely

id say it's hardly accurate tbh

not even pretty

you have to know what to take as a myth and what not to

it isnt historically accurate at all

advance some evidence maybe?

but some loony christians blur the line between myth and fact

^

the Exodus, a few problems with it

first, the egyptians didnt use slave labor

other than the exodus?

partially correct

wait _what_?
