  • Romney...is...funny... :D

  • Who the fuck claps this shit?

  • Faith before politics...Iran does it why not here?

  • The Bible specifically commands us to do things that would make Adolf Hitler, a Roman Catholic man, shudder with disgust.

  • The bible up my ass. Religion, the biggest bullshit, ever.

  • None of them answered the question. The guy was asking if they believe the King James Bible is the word of God. None of them believes it, which is fine. I don't expect my president even if he is saved to believe 100% as I do on Biblical, doctrinal issues. Ron Paul 2012!!!

  • Fuck the bible.

  • If we are supposed to have separation of church and state, why is this even treated as a relevant question? Let's ask them why they allow our monetary system to be ran as a huge scam. Let's ask them about the failing dollar, let's ask them about the overseas occupations, let's ask them about out of control gov't borrowing, let's ask them about preserving our constitution. I could give two shits about what religion a politician believes. It obviously has no bearing on their decision making.

  • The Bible is Past events, Prophecies, and recoded events of the Prophecies, like the Book of Psalms talks about Jesus and him having disciples, and dying on a tree. in fact there are so many prophecies about him, the Mathematical possibilities of Jesus not being who he said he was is asinine. but set that a side for a moment. what's wrong with Love, Joy,Peace,patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self control? isn't that what everybody wants? some people make the rest look bad"

  • this is fucking scary

  • I rarely heard such a load of crap. The scary thing is the audience, clapping to this nonsense.

  • Funny how all of them believe the bible and none of them are opposed to our wars and constant policing around the world. Just like Jesus. :p

  • @davitodude well, Joshua and MOSes have a hardon for war and genocide. Runs in the religion.

  • @vinsong Just like America taking the Native Americans land, and making them wear white clothes and learn Catholic Religion. or how about those Muslims? wanting to run Israel off their own land so they can inhabit it, .and they also believe if you don't conform you should die. everyone wants to think he,or she is right about what they believe, or think of themselves as good, A Christian is suppose to see themselves in the light of truth. and the truth is, we're all bad. in some way. sad to say"

  • @thebluesrockers trololol, both ist religion. although imo it is down to human nature, people will also do this I kill you if you don't agree with me because I beleive in X or I am a Y.

  • @vinsong imo I disagree, because the word religion's definition, re·li·gion noun

    1. a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually but not always, involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

    the origin of religion, comes from conscientiousness, piety, equivalent to tie, fasten, to bind, compare.

    everyone?

  • @thebluesrockers religion pshh, convert your ass or face my sword, teutonic order, islam and their islamification. Religion is bloody disgrace. Forces you to join a club and follow their rules written by a man and break them, you just repent pshh. ONly yourself can find your own spiritualism, no ties to any organization.

  • @vinsong well what your speaking now is a cult, but I must agree with you on this comment, it does seem most are cults, sad to say, but most everyone knows of nice older people who go to church and give back to their community, or help those out after natural disasters, and also help those that are starving with donations for the needy family's. and as you can see though, the bang bang theory does fit into the religion definition as well. as is Law" if you understand the Definition of religion.

  • @thebluesrockers Those people are just ''nice'' people, no matter where in the world they might be, there will be the few who truly care for others whislt looking after themselves. And yes, religion does fit in to religion, as long as the religion don't do sht like Noahs Ark fitting so many species into a small ass boat.

  • @vinsong the funny thing to me is, it maybe true, and most likely is. but it doesn't matter, it couldn't be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, but there are cultures all over the world of many different cultures who have stories about that happening. A man and his family on a boat with the animals. and the big flood.

    all I can say is, the Evolution theory is about the biggest fairy tale ever told. Nothing from nothing is nothing. everything from nothing is stupid. that's just common sense.

  • @thebluesrockers the god or gods figures are from where? Eternal being ey, equally as stupid.

  • @vinsong so where do you think man came from? what's your religion, or belief? you must have some thought of where man came from, or the start of life.

  • @thebluesrockers no religion just atheist with a slight lean on agnosticism.

  • ROMNEY for president 2012!!

  • @jenn1ifer NOO!!!!!

  • @jenn1ifer You are ignorant as hell!!! RON PAUL 2012... FUCK religious government lol We need a politician!! not a fucking pastor!!!

  • @jenn1ifer Yeah, if you like candidates who change their stance on positions depending on the electability of said stance. Romney is a flip flop establishment politician who only cares about being elected and the power that comes with it. It takes an intelligent person only a short time to figure this out when looking at his voting record. The man is a joke.

  • @jenn1ifer Nope

  • God's Not real Come on people this is 2010 I mean if you dont know by now your just and OH NVM

  • The BIBLE is the MARK of the BEAST! Constantine (1st beast) legalized Christianity and had 50 bibles compiled. King James, homo (2nd beast) 666 # of a man, born 1566, 6th of Scotland, authorized 66 book bible, image of God's word, carried in your hand, memorized in your head, made to speak (the bible says) and is used as an object of worship. Your faith will fail.

  • liar mother fuckers....except ron paul

  • ROMNEY=MORMON CULT MEMBER

  • Sycophantic masses: "DO YOU BELIEVE OUR SPECIAL BOOK!? COME WITH US TO MAGICLAND FOREVER AND EVER OR SUFFER ETERNAL TORTURE."

    Lying swine politicians: "Ha ha well sure I do, sure. That special book is great, I sure do like it. I sort of think you could interpret it differently but hey right on! That special book is really special and people should read it."

  • Giuliani - The Old Testament stories are real.

    Romney - Mormons don't believe that Jesus, with the trinity, is the only God.

    Huckabee - right on

  • Good answer Huckabee

  • evil fuckers. except ron paul.

  • Every word means every word. Talking snakes, stone your neighbor for working on Sunday, and its okay to have slaves. They all basically answered no they don't believe EVERY word. Cherry picking around the bad parts to find belief that is not there. 

  • 9/11 was an inside job ... Proof ... youtube.com/watch?v=ssuAMNas1u­s

  • 9/11 was an inside job ... Proof ... youtube.com/watch?v=ssuAMNas1u­s

  • are they they reading the same book as me? Its a pretty brutal book, as well as downright horrible at times. I can find a lot more wisdom other books like in the works of Henry David Thoreau, Mark Twain, Gandhi, Marcus Aurelius.....there is just so much out there thats soooo much better.

  • Romney's a pinhead, but DAMN--he sure LOOKS like a president.

    Huckabee makes me want to vomit.

  • What's allegorical about Lot having sex with his two daughters?

  • All losers

    Thier God is too small

  • Even Giuliani's?

  • Jesus Christ as returned. I AM.

  • These old codgers make me sad.

  • Rofl Dumbasses

  • You know I'd have no problems with the Republicans if they weren't so God squad. I mean I'm pro-choice,pro-gay,and just plain not religious. People ask me why your a Republican than. And I say I agree with them on every issue except for social issues. And personally I just ignore social issues as a whole. Except for guns. I'm strongly anti-gun restriction and pro-second amendment. That's the issue that turned me away from my former mayor.

  • Science need upgradation n most of the scientific theories r keep on changing from 1 conclusion to another.But Bible never changed ever since its written and it give Hope to lead a life according to God's will. If People not properly following it don't spoils its purity or authority.Its the word of God given to mankind to know what God done to save human from his sinful nature. BUT as I realize from Bible I know many things which need 2 happen in future. If any1 need to know that let me know.

  • Comment removed

  • This is insane... Human arrogance at it's finest. Politics and religion have never mixed and never should. That's how wars are started. Oh yeah and for all of you "God bless America" people out there: our OWN FOUNDING FATHERS were against organized religion in the US. Especially Thomas Jefferson who once quoted, "Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man." What you're seeing above you is PURE CHRISTIANLY ARROGANCE. Don't try to rationalize it as something else.

  • you are 100 % correct AgnosticMaverick09

    ..

  • I'm always told that the Founding Fathers of the United States of America were secularists, and that USA is an secularistic country. So where does all this "One nation under God", "In God we trust" stuff come in...?

  • @AgnosticMaverick09 do you know why?

  • The writings of Josephus in his Antiquities is now accepted by all eminent scholars as forgeries (search any secular encyclopedias). And the writings of Tacitus refers to Christians a group of people, and not of a man called Jesus. "Christ" is a title meaning the Annointed.

  • If god really exists, then he must be a poor Creator that he have to destroy his creations in the Great Deluge, And what followed is still not good enough.

    If the Bible is the word of God, then Earth must be flat.

  • 12lipa~ Imagine a Building w/o a architec; a painting w/o an artist.

    Ok, the answer is There is a God!Nothing that I've discribed makes sense because their existance is impossible without a creator! Your existance would be impossible with a Creator!

    The Bible says: In the beginning God created the Heavens & the Earth! He fashion Man after his own image. God looked at all he made & said 'It was good!

    Poor Creator- Chk out 'beautiful nature'!

    What is flat? Mans understanding of God!

  • Seywah, I'll use your premise to answer your your question. You said "their existance is impossible without a creator! " My question, using your premise, "then who created the creator?" If, you say the creator is already there, then using your premise again, I can say that, all the basic elements were already there and it took billions of years for these elements to evolve in it's present form.

  • 12lipa~ You asked who created the 'Creator'??

    Using my premise-- As a creator is more powerful that I can comprehend, I belief the Creator can only be revealed if one Believes first There Is a Creator! From that premise, hopefully you will seek your own answer to whether we are suppose to know everything!

    To believe in a billion years of sudden change.. then you would have to believe in the Creator of that Theory! You would have full assurance into a Theory of Chance! I believe Gods Way!

  • simple answer... helll noooo

  • I think politics and religion should have nothing to do with each other.

  • "Love your neighbor as you love yourself"? wtf? What if your neighbor was Hitler?

  • the word "neighbor" only refers to fellow-Hebrews. If it's Universal, then why the brutal killings?

    Hitler was loved by the Germans (neighbors) during his time.

  • damn. and these are the ppl who run our cities and our country.

  • nothing about the separation of church and politics, though. unfortunately.

  • The tomb of yawgmoth cleary states that all other religions are false. It is true.

  • i CANT STAND THE WAY JULIANI TALKS...SHIT IT IS ANNOYING

  • or the other parts that you cant misinterpret

    like stone people that work on sundays

    if you can misunderstand that then you can misunderstand love your neighbor

  • the greatest book ever written??

    lets be serious, if that book was considered fiction no one would like it.

    shitty plot shitty characters.

  • Dizzz ~ .. And you would know because? Have you ever read the Bible yourself, from cover to cover?

    If you had, you would see that most of the great stories you enjoy (especially from Shakespear- is 'ever so slightly' plagorised from Bible!)

  • Wonderful ... the beacon of the free and democratic world quibbling over 3000 year-old proto-bedouin stories and morals.

    Indigenous Europe is far more sophisticated; Hippocrates, Socrates, Aristotle ... they were the real deal, not these desert dwellers with their cruel el Jehovah.

    And why didnt Ron Paul speak here?? the only real republican on the stage!

  • NoAntecessors~ Just know this you have chosen the name athiest- as a lable! It's not the truth. H/E you have read or have been council to believe in nothing!

    Are you an empty shell? Are you deep/ shallow? Anyone who believes in Nothing is a bottomless pit of empty thoughts, a vapour going no where!

    You have no destination & no course! Well so you think. God has writen in your heart a set of morals, your parents laid a good foundation & now you are living the path they have setup for you.

  • Seywah, stop making stupid assumptions. Belief in God is NOT the only way to give meaning to your life. Give reality a chance.

    Also, I loathe how people constantly try to tell me what I think (as you did with "You have no destination & no course! Well so you think").

    Not believing in God does NOT equate to having a fervent belief in "nothing" you troglodyte. I believe in many things, things for which I have factual evidence. The world is just fine without fairy tales.

  • NoAntecessor~ For me 'Belief in God is the ONLY way to give meaning to ONES life. Give GOD a chance.

    All these little Aliens, Gobblins, & Harry Potter style witchcraft you believe in, has no match to the POWER OF GOD!

    When you personally proove the Bible wrong, then I will know That a FOOL has been Born in deed! All the foolish gibber that you read disproving the Bible is FALSE!

    Too many Historians have tried and FAILED! Some even got converted along the way, they Finally Proved GOD!

  • I'm gonna say one word Dinosaurs, explain that?

  • Dare~ 'Dinosaurs'

    The Bible talks about Giants--Which would possibley include Animals as well. King Og (Rephaites, Anakites, Emites, Zamzummites & Nephilim). King Og of Bashan was left of the remaining Rephaites. (It is noteworthy that his sarcophagus was made of iron. Does it not, indeed, still remain in Rabbath of the Ammonites? It is thirteen and a half feet long and six feet wide according to standard measure.)

    The Bible indeed is very accurate- He was very tall!

  • I can find no independant source to verify what you have said about king og so unless you can... I know there were big people and there still are not 12ft but anyway, you still havent explained why there are no references to dinosaurs, and by the way whilst I'm here Exodus has been dissproven explain that also!

  • DareTF1989~ Pray & ask God to give you the independant source you need to verify the existance of King Og!

    Check out Job 40:15 The Behemoth.

    40:15 Look now at Behemoth, which I made as I made you; it eats grass like the ox. 16 Look at its strength in its loins & its power in the muscles of its belly. 19 It ranks first among the works of God..

    Also: Description of Leviathan

    41:1 (40:25) Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook & tie down its tongue with a rope?

    Check it out yourself!

  • Are you being serious or do you wind people up on here for fun.

  • DareTF1989~ I'm serrious YOU , check it out for yourself! It's in the book of 'Job' in the Bible!

    After all, God instructed Adam to name the animals.. Who says' the correct name is 'Dinosaurs'- Ever thought about that!

    Ok these animals were powerful & mighty. And, They ranked first before Man!

  • ............ right I can see you have only actually read the bible..... ok then seeing as that is the case how old do you think the earth is?

  • DareTF1989~ Are you asking in Bibical Terms or in todays terms?..

    I've been told by a pathologist- things gets distorted if sumerged under water! Also that extreem cold weather affects or changes the ionic patterns of things.. So in relations to your question...

    The earth is older than we think it is & I believe God has this as a mystery- Just like the 'Burmuda Triangle.. & the other Wonders of this world'.

    For Now I'm Happy with the year 2009! What do you say?

  • 13 billion years old. Check out the writings of Hugh Ross. The man of the bible was created later.

  • There are several beliefs on the writings of Genesis. One is that the world was created in 7 literal days. This is losing support. The most likely interpretation is that God created the world with the big bang about 13 billion years ago. Most scientists agree that the universe is expanding and that something created this event. Although the universe is 13 billion years old, MAN was created in the garden of Eden between 10,000 and 50,000 years ago.

  • i think god has had enough chances. its time we as the inhabitors of this planet take our lives into our own hands and create our own destiny. not leave it up to an invisible bully in the sky and his divine plan. lol

  • Brick11!~

    What do you think you inhabitors on this planet have been doing for the last 50 years?

    Which person do you know personally who has totally following what God has prescribed as living holy? Ok, Then!

    Don't blame this corupted part of your life on God! You've always been in charge of your own life. After all you have probably never given your life to him.

    Being a 'Christ'-ian is the most challenging aspect of my life, yet very rewarding.

    God hasn't force himself on You!

  • obviously you missed my sarcasm. i dont believe in god. what im saying is in your private life you can worship whatever or whoever you want to but when it comes to making logical political decisions they shouldnt be based on a mythical being or dogmatic belief system. and you are correct. god hasnt forced himself on me. but his followers sure have. throughout time they have forced god onto ppl. at least they dont kill thenonbelievers these days though. lol

  • Brick111~ Who do you know thats Godly, that's force religion/God on you? Your in need of a truth transformation Now!! And which followers are out there forcing God on anyone You know!!

    Christianity in its purest form is the thing that's holding the USA strong.

    Since lowering the standards on morality in the USA I have seen a sudden decline in the posperity of the US. It's undergone quite a few deadly blows on its Character!

    As John Lennon sings: 'Imagine if there was no heaven?'

  • akinado~ reading your other post.. I see you are stressed about Property Laws- which included slavery/ servants.. Exodus 21+.

    Whether you find the Bible offensive or Not! Check out what's happening in our world today..

    Choices made by simple men & women - eg: 'Abortion, assisted suicide, etc,.' These issues are not specifically covered in the Bible. It's society choices.

    If I was from the Bible days & transported to 2009, I wouldn't be supportive of the changes either. Just like You!

  • the question is not ridiculous, only to one's who don't believe....this country was founded on the teachings of Jesus Christ. Now you can go all day talking about the seperation of church and state but it matters when you get to the polls on election day.

  • Such a ridiculous question for a presidential

  • Seywah, I'm monogamous. I'm faithful to my wife. I have no blasted stds now and never will, and guess what? I'm an athiest. Stop drawing false correlations. Belief in prehistoric bullshit is not the source of morality.

  • NoAntecessors~ What on earth are you banging on about.. 'Stop drawing false correlations.'

    So are you telling me you do not believe in History? The Bible's historically has been proven to be right- although most of it's information has been surpressed due to athiest like yourself & political oppression..

    Did you know that 15feet giants existed? It was noted in the Bible & the Location was too. Over 50 years ago historians dug & found the bodies. It was cataloged & put away. Check it out!

  • treevor921~ The Bible NEVER intended SEX to be DANGEROUS! Therefore there shouldn't be any use for PROTECTION!

    The Bible teaches FAITHFULLNESS!

    Modern Secular Thinking is KILLING our society. With the on-set of SEXUAL DISEASES.

    What shall I make of what this BIBLE, say & mean today to keep it relevant & fit with my personal ethos? What words shall I attribute to the SOVERIGN GOD?

    Keep His words close & avoid STD, Honour my body, live with accountability.

    GOD IS GOD ALL THE TIME!

  • You are a raving lunatic.

  • akinado....~ Without any ref' I'm unable to understand why you have made such a direct attack on me!

    However, that goes to show how shallow a person you are!

    Your mirror what animal behaviour you like, but leave me out of your comments unless they are substantiated.

    You are ignorant to write such a ranting statement without any explaination.

    Is this your cry for Help?

  • Nothing in the Bible is "obviously allegorical".

    It is still used to promote slavery.

    It is still used to deny the third world of condoms sentencing thousands to death every year, in South Africa alone.

    "Modern Christian Thinking" is one of the moste duplicitous of phrases. "What shall I make this nonsense book say and mean today to keep it relevant and fit with my personal ethos? What words shall I attribute to the magic man in the sky"

    How can you vote for idiots like this ?

  • treevor921~ Once again LIES are spred by people who want to have free sex!!

    The Bible never has, & never will promote Slavery! Show me a scripture that tells people to get people & place them in slavery? However, the Bible teaches the if someone owns your time, or has given you a loan, you are under their control until that debt or time is full-filled. It teaches people to free someone from their debt after 7 years.. So if someone was a slave, the Bible teaches freedom/ release from debt!

  • treevor921~ The Bible is consistant & have accurate account of historical events: Which was

    proven when Man tried to discredit the Biblical Text.

    EG: The Bible writes about a Giant Race of People: Rephaites, Anakites & Emites. (Gen 14:5). And Scientist found the bodies of over 55Giants measuring '8 - 15 FeetTall,' which means the Bible is TRUE.

    Also, The Bible says God created Man. An artifact dated back to 200 was found. Indicating Man was not created thru evolution. Once again LIES!

  • Check out on youtube: Science proves Bible fact!

  • That last guy, Huckly i think his name was?

    Superb! Absolutely Superb!

  • It is my belief- that should someone disagrees with something implied, written or verbal-- it should not be met with overtures of LIES, intended to discredit. But rather a truthful banter of ones position on the subject matter. While remaining a good character.

  • the bible is shit

  • TheIdeal...Looser!!! more like it~ Your Lost! Look out for the Northern Star, you may find your way!! HHHHHHHHHaaaa HA!

  • Hey fuckstain, you need to keep quiet, before the whole world knows you are a complete jackoff

  • So sad, really really sad.

  • oh.... my..... god....

  • I'm actually surprised at Giuliani being the only one who gave a good answer. Huckabee's bullshit is thicker than 1970s shag carpeting.

  • Thank goodness I live in Britain where politicians would be mocked if they spoke like that in public debate.

  • I live in England & wonder, 'mocked by who?'

    What todays society does not realize is that, Youth Culture & Educational institutes, Hospitals, etc: were born out of the Church..

    What the Politician said makes good sense: The Bible is the greatest book ever written, it is full of wisdom, it is the Word of God,  a guide for a persons life. It instructs one how to govern ourself. 'Love your neighbours as yourself, etc.

    Say anything about the Quran in the UK & see if your alive to tell the story!

  • "I live in England & wonder, 'mocked by who?'"

    When was the last time you heard a serving politician profess his religiosity?

    "The Bible is the greatest book ever written, it is full of wisdom"

    Pearls of wisdom such as stoning to death your children for answering back.

    Stoning your daughter to death for losing her virginity.

    Whoever works on the Sabbath must be put to death.

    Condoning slavery.

    Plus a load of nonsense in Leviticus.

    Also the Quran is a load of Horse manure as well.

  • Pigdowndog~ 'When was the last time you heard a serving politician profess his religiosity?'

    I believe Ex Prime Minster Blair & the now President Brown- professed to be Christians.

    Well the situation the Bible is the Best Book ever written & the most quoted. Shakespeare along with other great writers got their inspiration from the Bible. one can see the stories rom the Bible plagiarise often.

    With the problems we're having in this world- I say the Bible Laws are still Best Way Forward!

  • From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. "Go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!" The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two shebears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces. (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB) I'll say anything I want about the Quran when I visit London for Winter Solstice. What happen to the Britain who ruled with a gun?

  • akinadownhillace~ That Britain is in Afghanistan!

    What's your point on the scripture & your question? Not clear!

  • Oh just your god sending shebears to rip 42 children to pieces for calling one of his prophets bald. It kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The bible is merely a book written by primitive men, with bronze age morals, who are also scientific illiterates. You are mistaken if you believe there is anything morally relevant in the bible to be followed. All Christians do is pick the good things and ignore the repulsive bits.

  • akinadownhillace~ 'It kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth'....

    Why? did you join in the feast of bad/ evil kids?

    If the Bible was written by primitive men, they must have been terrific? The moral guidlines have ruled our nations for Centuries.. Wow we should have a special 'Holiday/ or day named after these Bible Authours!'

    All the Non-believers, like yourself, do is pick out the bad things & criticise Christians, who are attempting to live a moral life of accountability.

  • You call selling your daughter into slavery terrific? If biblical laws were taken 100% literally there would be public stonings daily.

    Accountablity? Your religion and god reward you for what you believe. Take Hitler for example, a Roman Catholic, had belt buckles on his SS Officers that read Gott Uns Mitt, or God With Us, is in heaven right now because he believed in Jesus. While Gandhi effectively booted the British Empire out of India through no violent means, is in hell. It's insane.

  • akinadownhillace~ I Talked about accountability- (Where in the Bible does it tell a person to sell their daughters into slavery???)

    If Biblical laws were taken 100% literally- YOU, ME & the cats & dogs would be sooooo tamed, It would be unreal!! There wouldn't be any need for public stonings. We'd be too scared to even move!

    Your reasoning on Heaven & Hell- is laughable. Your lack of understanding of Gods laws would cause you to have a skewed vision of His Goodness.

    Laws deter wrongs!!

  • Exodus 21:7-11 starts out with, "When a man sells his daughter as a slave,"

    So there you are, another atheist who knows more about the bible than a theist.

    Heaven & Hell are laughable. I don't believe in Wonderland either.

  • Slavery back then isnt anything like the slave trade is today. Those people who were slaves were payed money for their services and treaded with respect. They were in fact pretty much like a butler for the household.

  • Really? Then why does the bible teach that if a master beats his slave and the slave lives for a day or two before dying, the master is not to be punish? Do you regularly beat your employees? The bible teaches some pretty horrible morals when it comes to slavery. Further more the bible says nothing to condemn slavery.

  • Scripture & verse please.

  • When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)

  • People do lose their temper & hit others. If the slave died then the master is punished. If the slave survived the castigation a day or two, the master did not become amenable to the law, because the loss of the slave was accounted, under the circumstances, as a punishment. Also their culture is a whole lot different back then to ours. Slavery isnt condemned because it isnt the type of slavery you are thinking of, this is service. I assume you are thinking of Negro slavery with chains & such,

  • coreva~ You are solid on principles.. And have a great understanding of the Biblical principles. The Bible was in Different times and the world has gotten more & more complex. You really get that!

  • akinadownhillace~ What would You advocate in the circumstance you have discribed? What would you suggest happen to the Master?

  • Abolish slavery and book the master for murder. Bronze age morality has no place in modern society.

  • LOL

    yes i believe it

    but

    no i don't

  • i didn't expect that at all. good answers. Praise God. good to know the leaders of this country read the bible.

  • Fuck christianity! Fuck the Buy-Bull!

    Unless anyone can prove that Yahweh even exists beyond their deluded minds then the Buy-Bull is no basis for truth.

    All creationists are fucktards because they pick & choose whatever they like in science to fit they're twisted God-tyrant figure...science = internet & other stuff

    All talk & no proof is what religions are all about. I don't think a loving God would even tolerate hell. That would be brutally sadistic.

    These politicians make me sick!

  • a loving god gives you the choice to do what you want and good cannot survive with out evil

  • can you prove to me God exist?

  • God gives us freewill to make choices on our own . It Does not mean that we will not have to answer for the bad choices we make,because we will .AND, Good has survived with out evil and good will conquer evil again. SO good will always survive with out evil. Where in the world did you get this information from???

    /▌This is Bob. Copy and paste him so

  • why is the poking out of the eye obviously allegorical? seems like picking what best suits the individuals and tagging the rest as untrue.

  • Only a moron believes in the bible. there are thousands of errors in it; that hardly is the work of some god. More importanly, it's not what is in the bible that matters, but what isn't in the bible that matters. Not one equation, no mention of chemistry, or cosmology, or any hard science. It's a book of myths and some historical data.

  • So true

  • 'why do you say that'?

    probably because believing in something that doesn't exist shouldn't be respected.

    If he said he believed in unicorns do you think he would have gotten an applause?

  • do u think if he said 'no i dont believe in the bible i think its a complete lie' he could have still won? the fact is christians vote in huge numbers, espeshly if they feel theres someone running who fits their beliefs. if athiests did the same im sure there would be more people with the view ur talking about PUBLICLY. even if they dont believe it would be political suicide to announce u think the bible is a lie, thats just a fact of america that will be around for a LONG time.

  • Is America really that brainwashed? The first guy (Julianni???) probably gave the best answer in saying that not all of the bible is believable. The other guys are pathetic is claiming that this man made book is the word of GOD. The worse part is that they get a huge applause for saying they believe in GOD.

  • giuliani (not spelled right) must also believe marriage is is not literally true

  • good one i cant stand him

  • i think they choose the videos of the question "askers" to find the people that favor gun rights and religion to look like whackos and nut jobs

  • all religion is bullshit.

  • yeah but what can we do about it, their brain is non responsive!

  • why do you say that?

  • I will never vote for anyone who denies scientific facts because of their religion.

  • Why do people put "thumbs down" on this comment?

    If you disagree than you should argue with them.

    Thumbs downs are suppose to represent a comment that is not worth reading like someone giving awful criticism.

    Well I guess my comment is going to be "thumb downed" shortly.

  • How can pluck out your eye be allegorical?

    Dumbass...

  • Sheep.

  • WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?

  • This is where Huckaby came off kind of smarmy to me. Especially when he was talking to Guiliani at the beginning.

  • This video proves the ill direction of this country that is focused on the wrong things. If asked about evolution, Huck would say it is a lie, and he would be applauded for it. There should be no pride in ignorance when it comes at the cost of advancements, lives, and truth.

  • damn huckabee!!!!! get em.

  • I live in the country where takes place the largest chatolic population in the world,so im very used to this kind of ignorant people who thinks the bible is like an untouchable book written by antropological superior beings...even with all the money the church extorts from them manipulating it's meaning.

    And of course it can't be interpretated literally,it's all about symbolism.

  • The word of God. Written by men.

    Interpreted literally by morons and batshit crusaders around the world.

  • This is all fucking hilarious

  • Huckabee really described the bible in the right manner. I noticed all the believers who posted a comment get thumbs down. Im supposing those votes are from non-believers. It just comes to show you where the negativity in this world comes from. God created this world and everything in it. So to say the Christian morals were stolen from other religons is ignorant. Christianity is a clarification of Judasim. Judasim is the first monotheism religon. You want to talk about religon email me.

  • i agree with huckabee on the question posed as well..and truly christianity is fusion of other beliefs, however this does not diminish its veracity at all; instead it weaves the most basic beliefs of different culture together and presents to the reader what people round the world, over the ages, hold in common...i admit the bible has incurred damage by ppl looking out for themselves but instead of asking is it wholly from god, we should ask, what did god leave us within the bible?

  • believers in fairytales!

  • Very well spoken.

  • Why argue about the Bible... just let it talk for itself. If it can't stand on it's own, there's no reason to believe in it. If we haven't read and studied the thing, there's no sense in bashing it.

  • The fact that belief in the bible got applause in this video is truly sad...

  • What a cunt Romney is....he couldn't answer the question.

  • Everything that is wrong with America is contained in this one video.

  • Amen
