Why Saying "The Scripture is Metaphorical" Doesn't Work.

Point of info - the Titanic only had 'one hole'. It was just a f*cking big one...

Otherwise, excellent video. *****

[DeltaAtheism]

Yes, I know. That's why I chose the Titanic. Makes a point while still being literally true. And some idiot will scream that it has many and that the scripture is more correct, thus proving his ignorance.

Oops! Sorry for failing to get the subtlety there. I've subscribed, so please forgive me :oD

[Philipisgr8]

Well done! I subbed a while, this guy is criminally undersubcribed.

[jay7a2j]

Yeah, God forbid people come in here and give it a ONE STAR (which is not even worth that).

Oh, if I have a 5 star rating it MUST be true!

Give me a break with this rubbish already!

[DeltaAtheism]

You're putting words in my mouth.

Furthermore, do I say what rating to give? No. I only ask for a rating. Go ahead. Vote 1 star. It'll get drowned out.

I can tell by your reaction that you're feeling a deep conflict. You rarely react this profoundly to one of my videos.

[jay7a2j]

"deep conflict"? lol

You are the one putting up so many video's to "disprove God". Look, if you have convinced yourself that there is no God, be content with that and let these ridiculous video's die.

Unless........ you're not so sure

[DeltaAtheism]

"You are the one putting up so many video's [sic] to disprove God."

You only would appear to know anything about my videos on the surface. If you really did know anything, you would know that I explicitly state that a god can't be completely disproven.

"be content with that and lets these ridiculous video's [sic] die."

I am actively working to free society from the shackles of faith. If you weren't so blind, you'd realize just how much damage is done in the name of a god.

[MeIoco]

Delta, I suggest that you leave ratings open for just a few days, maybe a week, everyone who is going to rate it legitemately will have done it by that point. Then turn your ratings off to avoid later vote bott attacks.

That's what I'm doing now anyway /shrug/ up to you if you want to remain vulnerable or not.

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

That is excellent advice. I have been doing that for about a month now and it's a trend that's picking up a lot of speed. You will get all of your fair votes within a week. After that, the likelihood of an attack outweighs the few 5 star votes you will get.

[1RadicalOne]

That's what I do.

[Ariji86]

but the Koran is the same?

LOL so easy u concluded it without make researh

[1RadicalOne]

"LOL [sic] so easy u [sic] concluded it without make [sic] researh [sic] "

What makes you think there was no research?

[Ariji86]

i meant no absolute research for the Koran since this video tribute to Christianity

plz read the info column at the top right

[DeltaAtheism]

I wrote that info column. I know what it says.

I used Biblical references because Christianity is what I encounter every day, have easier access to, and know more deeply. I did check to ensure that Islam's scripture was just as bad before saying so.

The christian "Old Testament" (written in Greek) is NOT the same as the Torah (Hebrew) upon which it is loosely based. Jews have oral law (Talmud) as an interpretation, because much of the text IS metaphorical; Israelites were never slaves in Egypt, Moses may not have existed and the entire book of Genesis is based on old Greek and Pagan tales (etc).

There are major leaks in all religious frameworks, some people just don't know when to run for the life rafts.

"The christian "Old Testament" (written in Greek) is NOT the same as the Torah (Hebrew) upon which it is loosely based."

I never said it was.

[RyuDarragh]

This is entirely consistant with the real purpose of the bible: To codify, in sufficiently ambiguous terms, what religious leaders want their "God" to exhort their followers to do.

There are two paths to control in human society. The one, harkening to our primate ancestors (chimpanzee like) method of the alpha beating into submission all others (or, making them think he will) and the other taking advantage of "agenticity" to puppet an incorporeal (imaginary) being into doing the intimidation.
