"The Trinity" has nothing to do with what I was talking about.
The Trinity happens to be part of the same "holy book" as Leviticus which happens to contain the passage which says that homosexuals should be killed for having sex with others of the same sex.
Apparently you're in the mindset that I should just take what parts of the Bible you like as holy or sacred or something.
The Trinity is a joke man. Think about it, three people that are the same person, sending each other for stuff?
I for one know that it isn't from a divine source.
The problem is the majority of Christians are morons who do believe it to be from divine inspiration. It isn't. I know it's history enough to tell you this.
There's nothing to be kept sacred about it at all.
if you read everything for face value, one misses the point. and thats not just the bible thats everything. the common mistake i see atheists make is the assertion that we beleive the bible came directly from super natural prophets and that we see no human element in it. the point iam trying to make is that belonging and listening to church is a far different realm fro truly understanding the bible and its origins.
It's pretty bad already and this is only some of the parts that are wrong which haven't been touched yet.
We still have an old man who's daughters make him drink so that they can have his children which is a level of incest which is never banned in the Bible.
Apparently this trinity was much more concerned with stopping homosexuals and making laws about killing them than they were concerned with incest like that.
it's not a "mistaken bridge" that the text says what it does.
Every book has at least one or two things wrong with every story when you think about it.
If you go back to the story of Lot, you get a guy who's apparently good, so God spares his family and kills the entire city (including the innocent people who did no harm to anyone) then murders Lot's wife by turning her into salt (hardly a justifiable punishment for turning around. What was this, Medusa's fire or something?)
@sonic8005 the bible is a book of wonders. I read this passage in genesis talking about fear and sacrificing a child out of fear. However I come to learn that the texts are not always bluntsided , this is so far what i see people drawing mistaken bridges in the bible, such as what you describe
Am I the only one freaked out by the fact that a worldwide religion or two gets away with telling us that our basic desires which were built into our brains... are really wrongdoings, and we should apparently be ashamed for having these feelings which are undeniably part of us.
You can't hate somebody for something that's part of them naturally can you? That's like hating somebody because of their skin, their gender... their lineage... oh wait, the Bible already does those things too... crap.
i never died, so by your logic, i'm imortal
lol, thats a great way to end a discussion

@sonic8005
the trinity is a doctrine in itself and has nothing to do with homo sexuals.
