The bible - fact or fiction???

Thing is, there's nobody out there who wants to murder you, subvert your government, brainwash your kids and/or breed your culture out of existence because you like lobster and they like steak.

Also here's another question I want to post to the group. Everyone has a different day of worship. I'm interested in getting the reader's explanation on what the correct day of worship is and why. You can quote history, scriptures or whatever you like.

Actually if I am correct according to the bible eating shellfish will result in damnation, along with wearing a poly-cotton blended fabric so in a way there are soem out there who would like you out of existance for eating lobster.

I always bring those up to homophobic Christians. Apparently the Bible switches between literal and metaphorical, and/or contemporary and permanent, on a sentence-by-sentence basis.

Or even on a word by word basis . No but seriously that goes back to my point of it being intentionally designed to be that way. God has so much knowledge if he shared just 00000000000000.1% of it with us we would not be able to comprehend it. Therefore he allowed us to have books like the bible, koran, the book of the dead to give us just a little glimpse inside of his head.

I refuse to believe Jesus was the son of God until I see the long-form birth certificate. And it must be appropriately laminated and notarized by the officials of Bethlehem.

Well, I respect your right to believe whatever you want. But I have no obligation to respect the beliefs themselves. The difference between evolution and trinitarian doctrine is that I can show you the material evidence for evolution. Trinitarian doctrine only has the greasy words of ancient propagandists and the willingness of desperate dogmatists to accept the incomprehensible to support it. Sorry if that offends you, but it's still true, and that's why I accept the former and not the latter.

This is untrue and it is very insulting. I respect the fact that you do not believe what I believe, but I will not insult you for it. I expect the same level of respect from you. Otherwise, this will be my last post in this thread. I thought we were going for civil discussion here, not vitriol. You are clearly here not to learn or try to understand what we believe, only to ridicule and make fun of it.

I don't know Gatorboymike on a personal level but I don't think that he was personally trying to insult anyone's beliefs. There are people on both sides of the spectrum who made statements that I personally didn't agree with but there weren't attacking me they were just speaking their mind. This is a conversation for mature adults and there will be things said that people don't agree with but I really don't think that anyone is on here to personally offend anyone.

Not personally trying to insult anyone's beliefs? He basically said "No offense, but you're an idiot for believing what you do. No offense though."
