Do you not think they had symbolism and metaphor when the bible was written?

“Oh wow you can take something metaphorically in your book? You must not be a Christian!” <:kekboi:417880491182653450>

same as the dirt and clay

<:alex:401875510923100180>

Why is the bible the only book in the world which can't have metaphor?

If you don't take it literally, then why is it such a big deal? Why not just say "this book has a some good rules that we should all follow instead of killing each other"?

Cuz /r/atheism

Church father Origen (184-253 CE), due to his familiarity with reading and interpreting Hellenistic literature, taught that some parts of the Bible ought to be interpreted non-literally. Concerning the Genesis account of creation, he wrote: "who is so silly as to believe that God ... planted a paradise eastward in Eden, and set in it a visible and palpable tree of life ... [and] anyone who tasted its fruit with his bodily teeth would gain life?" He also believed that such hermeneutics should be applied to the gospel accounts as well.[12]

Because whites are too autistic to listen to fairytales

If you don't take it literally, you don't really believe.

@Trommm that is a type of christianity

To follow the word of Jesus Christ is Christianity

@Trommm Read the post above

however you choose to do it

i actually take the position that most of it is metaphorical. maybe not all of it is compatible with today's world, but bill gaede's rope is definitely attaching the past with the present. lol

You dirty Prot

The Right Cast will wage jihad on you for that

It isn’t just the Bible. Listen to the church fathers, aquinas
There is a whole system in place

Some can be taken literally, others not so much

Context clues boi

iippo, lmao.

<:basedmama:396156349676781569> giving the anglo saxons the word of the lord was a mistake

<:dab:395562678153904128> dirty prods

England leaving Catholicism behind was a mistake

like seriously though. 2000 years is a blip on the map. things will change. but for now we are still in proximity of the morals taught in the bible in the west.

2000 years is like 20 100-year-old grandmothers back to back. that's no time at all.

Catholics in my nation are all brown people who shouldn't be here in the first place

Guis! We need to change the rules! It’s the current year! <:sargone:576555026722586635>

the problem with criticizing christianity is the lack of an alternative

i understand how people want to have some foundational beliefs

i sometimes want that, too

What's the alternative to Jews ruling over whites?

How about I don't have to give one?

Christians are not intellectually honest. But pragmatically there are so many Christians in the US, that a secessionist government will probably have to be Christian.

Inb4 gike on a stick <:kekboi:417880491182653450>

we need some kind of cultural glue

Yes

trust a physicist to throw away traditional foundational beliefs. lmao. 😄 i'm with you though stem.

And a part of it is religion

to keep people together on the same page in some sense

Yes

to give a direction
