    I know most everyone in here keeps defaulting to their pro/anti-religion arguments, but I was only addressing how one should read the Bible. You make it sound like either everyone should inherently understand how to read the Bible, and if not then it isn't "of God" and therefore not worth reading at all. Do you apply that rationale to all the books you read? Good luck reading satire, or magical realism, or even fiction in general... the "how" in reading a book is always consequential.

    Sure. I'm assuming that after eons of time growing food out of the ground, man knew their crops needed sunlight. A real bold assumption.

    You know, a few verses later, the same guy wrote, "no small plant of the field had yet sprung up--for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the land..."

    How can that be??? Plants were already created!!! Oh, maybe the chronology isn't the point. (And obviously the author understands what plants need to grow.)

    Anyone else find it funny that the soul-less monkey spawns keep misquoting the Bible, while pretending thye "know" where the universe came from?

    Plus plant life is CYCLICAL, not continuous.

    Where is the hate speech? I am just saying, if you make a film about the Bible, you should include the bad parts of Christianity, instead of cherry picking.

    Tldr :lol:

    Well this show is a success in my book, because it has pissed off the militant atheists, and nothing's more amusing to me than a pissed off atheist.

    Though when a short Youtube video about Muhammed having sex with a 9 year old girl is released, liberals cry 'bigotry' - ironic.

    Most books do not claim to be the direct word of God.

    Your religion has a serious problem if simply recounting its legends is seen as hate speech.

    So are they going to include the incest parts?

    How about the mass genocide that founded Isreal?

    What about Lot's daughters?

    Or Solomon's thousand wives?

    Or detailing how god endorsed exactly who could be slaves?

    That's the problem with most christians...they don't even know what's in the bible because the majority of them haven't read it.

    The bible isn't the "word of God", Yahushua is. And he isn't a book. He is a person.
    Your bable is the roman emperors book. He ordered it produced, and selected men who paid for their position to compile it, edit it, and bind it in leather. The bable producers were simonists. They paid simony for their position.
    The intent of the book was to steal the church and control the people. And mix it with paganism.
    99% of the people couldn't read until about 1900 years later, so they needed learned pastors who could tell them what it said. Most of them lied, and when luther learned to read, he discovered it and left.
    The bable was edited many times, and many drafts were rejected by the emperor.
    Yahushua never told anyone to write a bable, BUT THE TARES DID ANYWAY.
    And Mohammad never told anyone to write a Quran.
    The bible was written 300 years after Yahushua came and went, and the Quran was written 30 years after Mohammad came and died. And 30 years after the emperor constantine died, some guys said he was a christian because he saw a cross in the clouds just before the battle of the millvale bridge.

    THE CROSS WAS ALREADY USED BEFORE CHRIST AS A ROMAN SYMBOL OF THE GOD OF FORCES, MITHRA. ALMOST THE ENTIRE ROMAN ARMY WAS MITHRAISTS. THE CROSS WAS THEIR SYMBOL BEFORE YAHUSHUA WAS BORN. YAH CALLS THE CROSS, "THE ACCURSED THING" BECAUSE THE ACCURSED WERE HUNG ON IT AND LEFT HANGING OVERNIGHT FOR A SIGN THE CRUCIFIED WAS CURSED.
    But Yahushua wasn't left hanging overnight.

    Such as what?

    Let us know when Hollywood produces a gay themed movie, and makes sure to honestly cite the public health NIGHTMARE that is male homosexuality in America.

    Christians didn't "choose" the cross. It was how Christ died...thus.

    In addition, there is NO QUESTION, that despite the fact that untold thousands were crucified before, and after Christ, it is HIS Crucifixtion that has made the Cross the symbol of Christianity, regardless of its prior history.

    NONE of the Old Testament was written after the death of Christ. The New Testament was composed by thsoe who walked with Him daily, with the exception of Paul.

    Nothing funnier than the souless monkey-spawn pretending understanding of the Bible...per usual.



    Deal with it....

    Like all those gay-themed movies where a character is dying of AIDS? That's like 75% of every movie with gay themes.

    As IF the homosexual lifetstyle is EVER called into question. It's always "society's fault", for "failing to deal with the AIDS issue", instead of the person who KNOWINGLY practiced unsafe sex's fault. ALWAYS

    "Let us know when Hollywood produces a gay themed movie, and makes sure to honestly cite the public health NIGHTMARE that is male homosexuality in America".

    You first, which you already claimed was "every gay-themed movie, in which a person was dying of AIDS."

    I cannot recall the glaring , irresponsible promoscuity of the gay male lifestyle EVER being indicted in a Hollywood movie, and I'll wager you cannot either.

    I'd say promiscuous gay men dying of AIDS is pretty damning. Like what happens in these popular, mainstream movies:
    Philadelphia
    Rent
    Angels in America
    Partying Glances
    Every movie ever about Greg Louganis

    By the way, I didn't say every gay-themed movie, I said "[l]ike all those gay-themed movies...."

    Christians didn't "choose" the cross. It was how Christ died...thus.(*).... they choose it.

    Pretty gruesome symbol if you think about it.

    And when it was written (20 to about 120 years after jesus himself) matters little. There is no factual evidence to support it so its simply the story about what happened decades after it had happened from people trying to form a religion around it.
    Not quite a very reliable source, and since we barely to not have anything else its basicly all pure speculation.

    But that doesnt matter of course after all religion is always based on beliefs and wether or not this is ghost and spirits or planets you go to after you die, if you believe in it you believe in it.

    Most books do claim to present some version of truth. If you read fiction the same way you read a newspaper, you'll never understand the truth being presented in that fiction. And if you read a religious text the same way you read a history or science text, you'll never understand the truth it presents, either.

    IN not one of those movies, was the PROMISCUITY of the GAY MALE brought into negative scrutiny.

    NOT ONE. If you can quote the scritp doing so...let's see it.

    It is intended to remind us of Christ's suffering on our behalf.

    Believe what you choose. If you wish to consider yourself a souless monkey spaan, I will not argue.

    I am not, however.

    Sacred mystery: Blockbuster ratings for ‘The Bible’ confound Hollywood
    Thursday, March 14, 2013 - Sure, it’s easy to criticize Hollywood, but try to remember that the entertainment industry today is an intellectually demanding environment, fraught with cognitively challenging, even intractable, questions, like, to take one recent example: How can the cable mini-series “The Bible” be such a ratings hit when there is no audience for overtly religious entertainment programming?
