core, moral values and overarching themes. Without these, the Bible is useless. Things like what, generally, a Christian should be living his life doing, and things that prevent us from turning away from God. Other than that the Bible isn't essential to being a Christian. And in case anyone's wondering why I'm going through these videos and posting long comments, it's because I find these arguments very intelligent and worth my time to contradict.

@Thromnabular the bible is a horrible source of moral values. I mean look at what it's full of... a god that punishes and entire world for the sin of two people.... who slaughters and entire world of life but what is on a boat... who demands animal and later human sacrifice to appease his own hatred of what he has created. You think that's a standard to try to live by? Are you insane??

[Thromnabular]

It all depends on what standard you base moral values on. We obviously all have a universal moral standard, not to kill, not to steal, not harm other humans. All of this is rubbish of course if you believe in naturalism because there is no survival reason for morality (and therefore no way to account how morality came about through evolution). But back to the point, by what standard would you judge a god or God, assuming He was real and gave you your morality?

[MystryBox]

@Thromnabular sure there is a survival reason for morality. I have a video on this. See my video "Source of Morality".

And I have to judge anything by my own human views. Genocide is wrong. A god might do it and claim a higher authority/morality, but to ME it is still evil and wrong. I would not worship a demon like your god who commits genocide. You are of course free to worship evil demons as you wish, but I think you are wrong.

Why is there a can of spam on the book shelf ?

@Thromnabular they decided what went into the book and what got rejected. They are certainly an authority over the book or else what do you think authority means? You're taking the creation and saying it has authority over those who decided what it was!

[Thromnabular]

@MystryBox Also, the Catholics didn't assemble the Bible the Council of Nicea did. But that's besides the point even if Catholics assembled the book (which they didn't) they only assembled it. They didn't write it, and therefore are not an authority over it. The Bible is or at least is supposed to be the authority over Christianity. So, when I say that Catholics contradict the Bible I'm talking about them adding books that were rejected for being Contradictory to the rest of the Bible.

[Thromnabular]

But you see... a lot of people who were Christian or had a basic understanding of the Bible sees it as a crock because it appears to contradict itself. And with all the opposing denominations of Christianity and denominations of denominations all giving different interpretations of the same book it's really hard to blame them. But they don't understand the main point of Christianity. They just see it as a bunch of self-righteous people selfishly wanting to make it to heaven.

[Thromnabular]

@MystryBox Perhaps you could point out those inconsistencies.
