whoever decided to start worshiping the bible anyway? how do they know if it is correct or not, its been around for thousands of years so the message is probably completly distorted and unreal.
also has anyone actually ever sat down and read some passages out of the old testament? it's riduclous. in the old testament, God is made out to be ruthless and unforgiving, obviously not much of a God that anyone would want to worship.
i think the bible iteself is completly obsolite. people should choose to believe in God the way they see him instead of a 4000 year old document that's probably untrue anyway.

I think the bible was made up to teach kids morals but people started believing it was truth and it all got out of hand.

Apparently none of you have ever seen a religious person being controlled by the holy spirit. I would never believe it either, but when you see people speaking in tongues and the joy that they get you begin to believe that there is something out there. Now the next question is which branch of Christianity are you willing to believe in. I don't even know why you would want to discuss this on here with all of the 15 year olds who have no clue about life, politics or religion.

i never said that i didn't believe in God, because i do. i just said that i don't think that the bible is correct. and the only reason that i posted it on NS is in hope of someone to discuss this with.

yeah I was born baptist raised baptist so we have sort of a lose belief but it is belief none the less. I thinks it's straight if you believe in something but I think that it crosses the line when you get cult followings sort of like the opus dei, who are way too fanatical in their catholic beliefs. but what does everyone think?

i myself do not beleive in a god...im am a "spiritual" person...i beive in science and evolution and the create of us i becasue of the perfect mix of oxygen,moisture,uv rays, and heat.......how it boggles my mind and i actually find it funny how people worship the bible and there is no actual proof that we one day just showed up and were like"yo".....anyways....becasue of our current situation in the earth and retards thinking that we are alone in the universe it is kind of hard for idiots like some of you(im not calling you retards)to think of something abstract and that technically u (bible beleivers) are insane becasue u worship a simple book......i think im going to right a book about how apple sauce came to be and in a hundered years when someone has totally changed it i will be worshiped as god.....

i do beleive that jesus was at one time, alive but i dont beleive that he was anything special. saying he is god or the son of god or w/e is like saying that all the crazy people on this rock called earth is right and that we are wrong....that THEY really see it and that WE are the ones that are crazy....ever think of that? no becasue todays society is "brainwashed" into thinking that by reading a book you will go to a cloud with big pearly gates and you will be for ever saved.....bullshit......so you are telling me by thinking out of the ordinary and being more"abstract" that i am going to "hell"???i think not....i will most likley rot in the ground and my soul will eather one.....go into another time zone......or two....rot away with my physical self......

see...i could of lived and died 1000000 times by know since the first living organism was created around about 100 billion years ago...but it wouldnt even matter becasue i will never remember.....our EXACT selves could be on the other side of space.....so that if u keep on going,and going in space that u will eventually start over....like in a super nintendo game where when u go tofar left,you begin at the start on the right.....

i could go one with hundreds of theories and insights, some being mine,some not....so just scratch your noggin over that for a minute...

cmon man, there has to be some form of life after this, like what happens when we die, do we die and that's it? i don't think so. God is out there man, you just have to find him (or her, depending how you view God). i already stated that i think the bible is bogus, but i beileve in an afterlife, there's definatly something after we die, i can feel it.

yeah bro, i see your side... but then again, how in the hell could all of this chance come together to create... this?? all this we are sitting in. the pure chance of THIS, sitting here, talking, thinking, being 'intellegent' is ridiculously rare. what if god created it? scientific data only backs up the improbability of our being. what can we attribute this too? maybe a god. maybe. just a thought

"A thorough reading and understanding of the Bible is the surest path to atheism"

you guys should really read the bible. its very funny.

here are a few things it tells us to do:

-stone to death dissobedient children

-sell your daughter into slavery

- dont go near a Women during her period.

ok maybe the last one is good advice. but still.

ohh yeah also the thing about the Jewish slaves. I find weird how the only place where it mentions jews being slaves in Egypt is in the Bible. there are no Egyptian records of this ( which many say is because they were too ashamed to record it) which might be true. but I wont beleive this until at least 1 piece of archeological evidence is unveilled proving that jewish people were at one point enprisonned in Egypt.

Just another zionist conspiracy, like the holocaust, then? The Jewish slaves thing seems a lot more plausible than most of the rest of the OT... like, say, the plagues. Fire raining from the sky? Funny how we haven't done anything since then to piss God off enough to send more of that stuff... although if the homos persist in having butt sex he just might be left with no alternative, huh?

the bible was translated by the king prince dude a long ass time ago. in translating it, he put his ideals and oppnions in it.

but dont you know? it was written by god himself!

WEll I think that you have to take into account that the bible was written not by god but by other people told by god what to write. I don't worship the bible I just take it as the word of god, thats all. I am not one of the ott evangelist trying to convert everyone causeI know you all have something that you believe in, and I think it's cool and also respect that. Steeze patrol I think you were way out of line saying that only little kids believe in this shit, and that my parents forced me into religion, because that is not true in my case anyway. I find my religion as sort of a foundation that I know will support me whenever I need it. I know that sounds gay but it is true. I also do belive in evolution, but in a different way. I believe that god created the world universe etc. But I think that he may have created simple life forms which may have evolved into the things we are and that surround us today. This is a good thought provoking discussion let's keep it up.

Religion is bad for the world. Sure, it gives people faith and something to believe in when the shit hits the fan, but most of all it creates conflict and death.

Thats exactly right. We DIE. When we die, its obvious that all of us DIE.

First of all I don't really beleive in much religion. I think buddism is good, and the original words of jesus was whats good, but the church has warped it entirely.

Let me tell you something first that might hint something is wrong with church. Jesus was a black man. He had dark skin, much like a modern day muslim.


I think its heinus to beleive there is a thinking entity living above our heads making all our decisions for us that we should sacrifice ourselves to.
What I do beleive is that there is a total system of checks and balances which make up nature. That is pricicely what all organisms live off and have in every second and every aspect of your life. Balances.
Look all around you, you see people who get really good grades, they have no social life, that is a balance. You see jocks who are really athletic with little mental capacity. Its all about balance.

The true pertrail of the actual historical content of that time was truthfully recorded in the dead sea scrolls, but unfortunately the church set out to destroy them all long ago, but there are still some that have never been found. Bible=bullshit

Im not sure that many people "worship the bible", people worship God, and use the bible as a guidebook on how to honour God when living their lives. If people worship the bible then i think they've lost the point of christianity.

I really can't say what i exactly beleive, i was raised roman catholic, but right now i dont practice and consider myself agnositic. I think the possibility of a higher power is possible, but if there is one I dont think that things like the bible and religious groups have got the right idea. Whether jesus was really the son of god or any of the stories are true ect, ect, who can say? But what is very likely is that he was a person that preached for peace tolerance and goodwill towards all people, but despite that his words have been twisted and used to justify things like hate, war, and control. For this very reason I am against oganized religion. All interpritations have been twisted or take the bible (which contradicts itself about every 2 pages) way to literally. I think the only time that christianity may have been pure, was when its followers had no power or status and were persecuted

Thanks man, I had no idea. Because of you, and your brilliant explaination, I won't ever approach a Bible from now on! The fact that you have such a magnificent understanding of the truth just boggles my mind! Damn! I wish you'd been around when Christianity was born, so you could explain the truth to all those gullible fools!

I'm being sarcastic, and I'm telling you because you're a moron. You think you can sum everything about religion up in a few sentences? Who the fuck are you to say what's wrong and what's right?

I am a christian, but I have major issues with people who take the bible 100% literally. It was written in metaphores and many of the stories are parables that are not to be taken literally, but instead used to understand the overall message. If you say "train of thought", it doesn't mean that you got on a train and then started having a fluid order of thoughts. It is the same way with the bible. Fundamentalism is what is ruining this world, it doesn't matter if you are protestant, catholic, muslim, whatever, it is the fundamentalists who are ruining everything. There is a trend in recent history with televangelists and nondenominational preachers, speakers, and writters sweeping people's emotions. These people are operating outside the boundaries of uniform doctrine and pushing their extreme views on other people. They preach the opinion of men, not the truth of God.

the bible was made in the 1960's by a crack addict with a printing press... dont even bother asking your parents, they're in on the scam. besides their is a mistake. in John 3:16, it babbles on about a father and a son... but really it should say "and the lord said , 'go sox!' "... sit booboo sit
