Bible Question:
Why do so many people worship "god" when the bible is the only basis for your beleif? I beleive the bible is fictional - and I pity the people that spend their life living by it's word. |
Bible Answer: Ok I have a fair few posts to reply to, may not get them all but here goes. 1) Please do not try and mock me, make me look stupid or indicate that because you beleive in god you are above me, either in intelligence, morals, or worth. Making fun of a TYPO makes you look childish and ignorant. I mistype "freind" all the time, doesn't mean I don't know how to spell it. Also, my name is not supposed to be funny or clever. Look up it's definition some time, Mr Big Words Make Me Look Clever. 2) Don't simply post copy and pasted passages from the bible, that means nothing to me. Use your own fingers and brain to give a response. 3) I did not post just to be inflammatory. It may have come out like that because I was having a particularly bad day and I was irritated and the whole religion thing, and the negative affect is has on my life. 4) Just so you know, on a side note, I was confirmed when I was younger, did bible classes, went regularly to church etc. So do not assume I am making uneducated comments. 5) I have a genuine interest in knowing why people beleive. Admittidly this is for slightly selfish reasons. My girlfriend, who I am very serious about, is a devout Christian. She has indicated, although not said outright, that my non-beleif may come between us. If not now, in the future. It angers me that someone's beleif should stop them living a long and happy life together. I have morals, I live by society's rules, I know right from wrong, I am a VERY good person (so I have been told). I just happen to beleive in evolution, science, and that we hold our own fate in our hands. If that makes me a bad person (who will supposedly burn in hell for all of eternity) then tell me why? |
