If the Bible was wrong about origins, what else was it wrong about?
>>
>>18376935
stuff like returning from the dead
>>
The bible was not wrong about origins or anything else.
>>
>>18376943
You come from monkeys

>>18376935
The idea that man is born evil and requires a savior. "Faith alone" takes this to the logical conclusion, saying that there is no need for doing good. You can do as much evil as you want, just have faith in Jesus.
>>
>>18376965
Heck yeah, if you dont sin then jesus died for nothing so get out there and do all the sinnimg you can

>>18376943
All gods are mythologies
All holy books are fictional
Politics is Treachery
Religion is Brainwashing

>>18376935
I mean the Bible is pretty much wrong about everything, literally speaking, the few things it gets correct are pretty much universal truths accepted by everyone. Like stealing or murder being bad. I suppose you could count some of the historical events as half truths because some of it is verifiable.

Now, if you want to go into "metaphorical truth" the bible actually gets a lot right, but the Christians themselves are not apt to see it as a metaphor, instead as a *literal truth*. For instance, seeing Genesis as a metaphor for the bittersweet rise to consciousness. It's a pretty deep story if you realize it's metaphor. I see exile from the Garden as a very profound symbolic representation of my own life. "The Garden" being my youthful happy dies when friends and family were still alive. Any old man looking back on life is likely to relate on a very deep level with "exile from the Garden".

But if you treat Bible as your primary historical and scientific text, you're going to be so retarded that you're almost infantile. Even a non-indoctrinated toddler has a better grasp of the world and reality.


I greatly respect Christians who're smart enough to realize that evolution is real and the world isn't 6000 years old. I even see myself as a Christian of sorts, but I believe in REAL science and history as well, and this requires realizing at least half of the Bible is NOT literally true, they're metaphors. But the metaphors can be a path to enlightenment.

>>18376999
It gets some middle eastern history right (stuff like Israel and Judea existing and Nebuchadnezzar being a historical figure and conquering Israel) but otherwise it's mostly mythology and ancient jewish laws.

Embarrassing.

Anyone who believes humans are descendants of a mutant fish should never be listened to about anything ever again.

>>18376965
Jesus himself taught something very different to what christians believe.

>>18377012
So true Christsister. Obviously a Jew snapped his fingers and the dirt started walking on its own.

You are spiritually Jewish. At least pajeets made their own religion. You should do the needful and drop the Rabbi worship saar.

King of the Jews, sure. I don't care about the Jewish religion or it's gods besides opposing it on principle for the way it fucks up the world.

Why do Christians lie so often? I didn't say the thing you claim I said. You're lying. That's a sin.
>>
>>18377212
I'm not a Christian, though I am pro spirituality.

Saying "you can just live in a forest brosky" does not refute the claim that industrialism is a net negative for everyone involved.
>>
Genuine atheists (not people who when questioned would claim they are actually agnostic) simply can not understand that God has a backbone, he is in fact not a fairytale skydaddy who you can mould like clay, if you fuck around with him... yeah, he doesn't mess around because he is a certain way (see: personality) it's that simple.

The story is still unfolding (revelation has not been completed) therefore, God's perfection and righteousness will be made fully manifest when the book is closed, so to speak.
>>
>>18377213
Are you pro-lying?
>>
>>18377216
Are you a bot?
>>
>>18377215
God does not exist. You also come from monkeys btw.
>>
>>18377216
If there’s no God why is it wrong to lie?
>>
>>18377217
No. Are you pro-lying?
>>18377220
Are you pro-lying?
>>
>>18377219
Darwin believed that we come from monkeys, and that God also existed.
>>
>>18377223
He was wrong about the latter.
>>
>>18377221
Yep, bot.
>>
>>18377221
If there’s no God I’m pro-lying
>>
>>18377219
If God does not exist, then why are some babies born with birth defects and diseases and why do people kill each other ?
>>
>>18377226
Why?
>Because............. HE JUST WAS, OKAY?!
>>
>>18377227
Why?
>>18377229
That's weird. Don't you mean "if I believed there were no God, I would be pro-lying"?
>>18377231
Is this satire?
>>
>>18377242
No, what I believe is irrelevant, if there was no God in reality it would not be wrong to lie
>>
>>18377242
>Is this satire?
No, you say God doesn't exist, so you can not blame God for these things. What is the explanation ?
>>
>>18377245
But we're not talking about whether lying would be wrong, we're talking about whether you'd be pro-lying.
Surely there's a possible scenario where God doesn't exist yet you think he does so you're anti-lying.
>>18377252
Are you daft?
>>
>>18377260
Why does it matter what I think? Can you explain why you believe it’s wrong to lie?
>>
>>18377268
It's socially disadvantageous to live in a society where people have a propensity to lie.
>>
>>18377271
So what? Is there something wrong with that?
>>
Question to those who think God doesn't exist: What is you see or perhaps do not see that leads you to believe God doesn't exist, how do you think the Bible contradicts reality ?
>>
>>18377268
>Why does it matter what I think?
Why didn't you ask me this question when I initially asked you what you think? Why did you instead deflect to a question that I did not ask while pretending to be answering the question that I did ask?
Very dishonest.
>>
>>18377297
You come from monkeys.
>>
>>18377305
Is there something wrong with being dishonest in your worldview?
>>
>>18377307
Is there something wrong with being dishonest in your worldview? If yes, why are you being dishonest?

>>18377306
I come from Humans, who may have developed from monkeys.
>>
>>18377312
You are a monkey (simiiforme).
>>
>>18377310
I’m not being dishonest, but you think I’m being dishonest and you seem to have a problem with that which in an atheist makes me very curious.
>>
>>18377297
you can't prove a negative my ESL friend. as of right now in current year there is precisely 0 evidence for the existence of a greater being. and until there is some, there's no reason for me to think they do exist. simple as.
>>
>>18377297
My path

1. Be Catholic
2. Be so Catholic you think every other religion is false (not blindly, you have good reasons)
3. Realize many of the Church's dogmas are not true
4. This leaves no religion as being true
>>
>>18377318
>I’m not being dishonest
Refer back to the questions I asked here >>18377305.
>>
>>18377312
Humans didn’t develop from monkeys, they were created by God. Genesis 1
>>
>>18377321
>you can't prove a negative
Yes you can, if you say there’s a tree in my yard I can prove there’s no tree in my yard by walking outside and seeing the absence of a tree
>>
>>18377323
Take your meds
>>
>>18377329
They are very simple and straightforward questions. You can't answer them because they demonstrate your dishonesty.
>>
>>18377321
Is reality incompatible with the bible or vice versa ?
>>
>>18377333
Yes. You're a mutant monkey but the Bible says you're a golem.
>>
>>18377327
that's not proving a negative, that's just disproving the statement "there's a tree in my yard". you can say that but it's not logically consistent
>>
>>18377327
>>18377343
sorry, i meant disproving a negative in this post and my previous i.e. one cant say "prove to me god doesn't exist"
>>
>>18377333
>Is reality incompatible with the bible
Yes
>>
>>18377343
A negative is the negation of a proposition, sir.
>>
>>18377322
>have (Catholic dogma) telling you every other religion is false
>reject (Catholic dogma)
>become an atheist instead of giving other denominations and religions a fair hearing
Yup.
>>
>>18377322
Catholicism started in 1054
You got into a Toyota and said "BMW SUCKS!"
>>
>>18377186
I am?
I always considered myself a non-believer of any gods, an infidel atheist
>>
>>18377337
>You're a mutant monkey
>you're a golem
If you're an actual materialist, then the logical conclusion is that neither of these statements contradict one another.
>>
>>18377524
Which ones are worth a fair shake
>>
>>18377186
This line only works on 4chan. In real life Christians literally send billions of dollars to siarel per year. That's just from religious non-profit organizations alone.
