2017-01-16 23:24:11 UTC  

pagan

2017-01-16 23:24:33 UTC  

I just can't accept one devine source created it all

2017-01-16 23:25:06 UTC  

well that is kind of a dumb idea

2017-01-16 23:25:42 UTC  

i've read the bible, almsot cover to cover, it carries multiple good moral points but the notion that one god created an entire universe and everything in it.... no i dont think so..

2017-01-16 23:26:14 UTC  

well everyone does have their story about how it all started

2017-01-16 23:26:23 UTC  

this is true

2017-01-16 23:26:29 UTC  

The Blble does not resonate with me at all. Tho J-Man had some interesting thoughts.

2017-01-16 23:26:39 UTC  

yes for sure

2017-01-16 23:26:48 UTC  

certain books of the bible resonate

2017-01-16 23:27:12 UTC  

My reading of the Bible is pretty much political

2017-01-16 23:27:13 UTC  

not all, mainly proverbs, ephesians, and job

2017-01-16 23:27:32 UTC  
2017-01-16 23:27:35 UTC  

And somewhat spiritual (not that i find spiritual lessons useful, but it's a good resource to learn about a type of spirit)

2017-01-16 23:27:51 UTC  

I grew up in a lutheran home

2017-01-16 23:28:00 UTC  

So for me, Old Testament is more useful, as a political and social commentary on a particular historical moment

2017-01-16 23:28:01 UTC  

the bible was our bedtime story sadly

2017-01-16 23:28:05 UTC  

While NT not that much

2017-01-16 23:28:33 UTC  

I mean, book of exodus

2017-01-16 23:28:35 UTC  

Pure gold

2017-01-16 23:28:44 UTC  

that is a good one yes

2017-01-16 23:28:45 UTC  

That great portrayal of bitter hitorical struggle

2017-01-16 23:28:47 UTC  

agitation

2017-01-16 23:28:53 UTC  

Both those books copied from older stories

2017-01-16 23:28:55 UTC  

royalty and unwashed masses

2017-01-16 23:29:01 UTC  

politicians and merchants

2017-01-16 23:29:11 UTC  

I really like job though

2017-01-16 23:29:23 UTC  

On the other hand you have Revelations, a complete and utter diatribe

2017-01-16 23:29:36 UTC  

the only story that I remember well is the Noah-arc

2017-01-16 23:29:43 UTC  

not because it sends the message that if you believe god will provide but becuae is shows how determination and will to continue are the best reward

2017-01-16 23:29:44 UTC  

I think it's pretty brutal

2017-01-16 23:29:47 UTC  

Rev great for scaring the masses into submission

2017-01-16 23:30:08 UTC  

revalations is a nightmare wrapped up inside a metaphor of metaphors
