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
