although the whole picture is distorted
even half their holidays
ALL the hilidays
ermm holidays
but of course religion cannote exist without the people, the blood
okay i was being leniant
yes all holidays..lol modem
and our blood is...
everything
pagan
I just can't accept one devine source created it all
well that is kind of a dumb idea
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..
well everyone does have their story about how it all started
this is true
The Blble does not resonate with me at all. Tho J-Man had some interesting thoughts.
yes for sure
certain books of the bible resonate
My reading of the Bible is pretty much political
not all, mainly proverbs, ephesians, and job
And somewhat spiritual (not that i find spiritual lessons useful, but it's a good resource to learn about a type of spirit)
I grew up in a lutheran home
So for me, Old Testament is more useful, as a political and social commentary on a particular historical moment
the bible was our bedtime story sadly
While NT not that much
I mean, book of exodus
Pure gold
that is a good one yes
That great portrayal of bitter hitorical struggle
agitation
Both those books copied from older stories
royalty and unwashed masses
politicians and merchants
I really like job though
On the other hand you have Revelations, a complete and utter diatribe
the only story that I remember well is the Noah-arc
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
I think it's pretty brutal
Rev great for scaring the masses into submission
revalations is a nightmare wrapped up inside a metaphor of metaphors
