@SeriousVoyager I understand quite well what the bible is. I've read it twice. There's nothing in the bible that couldn't POSSIBLY have been written by bronze age men. It's repeatedly wrong about SO many things. Geography, Cosmology, Morality, etc. I see tenets of Christianity to be immoral as well. It's immoral madness & scapegoating to have another man die so you can be forgiven by someone who isn't actually there. So you don't have to go to a lake of fire that doesn't actually exist.
@mouthyweasel Those of us who understand what the Bible is, and are faithful Christians, often don't know how to react to these kind of criticisms. I will assume you aren't an idiot, and you understand that literature has "types." One would not interpret historically inspired theology, an apocalypse, a poem, or a letter in the same way, would they? (yet all these types, and more, are included in the Bible.) Are there ppl who don't get this? Sure. But I don't insult them. U're better than this!
My favorite is Psalm 137 when it says, "Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks. " I think I'd rather like to throw my enemy's infants against rocks. Can you imagine what that would look like? How it might sound? Smell? Feel? Lifting an infant over your head and throwing it down as hard as you can against rocks. GOD I love the bible! Thank you Yahweh for this clearly divinely inspired book from superstitious and savagely barbaric bronze age Palestine.
@SurvivorsFaithTV correction, the isrealites are the chosen people. the jews are but one part of the tribe of judah which are one of the 13 tribes of israel, but most of them are not even real jews for real jews are against the state of israel.
