just because

The bible can be deconstructed

that's the deconstructionist view

@drinkbleach right now i'd rather you be trolling the whole chat

You can interpret contridictary meanings from it

than what theyre talking aobut

Post modernism is rightb

Let's be honest

wrong @Queef Madagascar

your brain is a loser

@Zephial Why the Bible? Tell me why you think Jesus was our lord and savior

playing pubg sorry i cant rn

and i am not like a scholar on it

can we talk about memes

its just my opinion for the bible

@Luxuryballs All texts are fundamentally meaningless

Deconstruction proves that they are

without God it is meaningless for sure

Try telling that to a post modernist

I just mean like you can have scripture and read historical aspects of it and what not, read the quotes about what they say

but to get the meaning out of it in the moment, you need God

it's like a decoder ring

but yeah eventually the text by itself is meaningless

the language can become forgotten, etc

So you need god to gleam meaning, but to get god you need to understand the meaning?

right

Wat

That's a circular argument

he's more real and available than the text

In your worldview

The bible can be deconstructed

you don't need the Bible or even to be able to read to get God

i love jesus

You can interpret contridictary meanings from the Bibles

but if you so happen to get God and be able to read, then that's a huge benefit because now you can check out the scriptures

My summary on religion: Religious texts are an unbelievably obvious attempt at "herding" humanity. There is no doubt we needed it in the early stages of humanity in order to build law and order. But at this point, it's questionable whether it's still needed in order to "ease the minds of the masses". The only thing unique, special, or "important" about religion is that it seemed to naturally arise in every culture around the world. And that's the end of the conversation of religion. From there, science takes over.
