Bad shape

what a terrible name

I was planning on starting a cult in order to take over the world

Well loved. @Turtle

i think if you follow his other stuff, then you've probably already gotten the content that's in the book anyway but i don't really follow JBP

why is it so scuffed

@Karpo

but basically it taught me to avoid anything that resembles a little red book, a bible or a self help guide

I mean

that's kinda stupid lol

@Turtle ever read the overcoat?

the bible seems like a good read

Jpb fans are a little cultish

No I haven't atticus.

if you don't know the content that's in the book, how do you formulate arguments against the ideas in the book?

But @zalfir you’re just making yourself sound autistic

If you're gonna read one self help book you should read multiple and piece together what's right for you.

imagine if all atheists totally avoided the bible

i really recommend it

@FUCK fire I was a hipster before it was uncool

my nigga

not fake

f u

I read the Torah and the bible but I was raised Jewish.

there's a reason most atheists know the bible

its a old russian goody

My favorite book of the Torah in the tanakh is Ecclesiastes

i like some of the fables from the bible

eventhough im muslim

A good number of legitimate atheists, as opposed to unstudied or agnostic, were Christians in the past.

obviously

If there is a god I believe human interpretations of god are not correct innately through our lense.

i read penn jillette's book on why he became an atheist

I don't mean to say I avoid them entirely, what meant was avoiding them during times of flux

honestly it's just a cherry pick

Jordan Peterson's book is a good example because it's obviously hitting a part of people's psyche in the right way

I read the Quran. Rough read and you really need to cherry pick hard for good messages and morals in many parts.

in another place and another time, it might not, that's when I'd read it

I like to think of the bible as entirely allegorical. Means that I can abide by the nice things like the turn the other cheek and the do unto others stuff, and not yaknow agree with slavery, kidnap marriages and putting to death

That’s kind of retarded

why is it wrong to cherry pick messages and make your own optimal morality
