As an individualist it is sort of hypocritical of me to attack a collective, but all I am really doing is attacking the collective that adhere to the specific beliefs.

You seem to me to be pretentious as hell. Have you ever even opened the Bible? Have you ever studied even one book of it?

The Bible is really only good if you study it book by book. If you try reading it like on complete linear story it really gets boring. I don't really like the narratives and such anyways. Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and those type of books are my personal favorites because they are less narrative and more in depth.

^_^ That's all I was making sure of.

Yes I've opened the bible.

I liked the story about the snake and the apple tree.

And the one about Samsun, who had strength in his hair.

Lovely fairytales.

Both of you are right.

You seem ignorant and pretentious...

It seems like you're trying to gain popularity... or look like a badass.

It sounds kind of like the little boys in middle school yelling "ANARCHY" where I live.

Does studying the Bible subdue prentense or does it merely inflate pretense?

I do agree with the statement that faith can not be owned, necessarily--but why would someone choose a particular religion if they didn't have a reason?

You attack something you clearly know nothing about. It seems like you are trying to sound smart by attacking something which is regularly attacked. Of course, these days one can bull**** there way around a true argument by just spouting out cliches.

What about Greek Mythology or Norse Mythology for that matter? They are just as much fairy tales. Albert Camus writes, "Myths are made for the imagination to breathe life into them." If you take the Bible as myth, you should be able to find some value by breathing your own life into it.

Neither. I was pointing out the fact that all he is doing is reciting the cliches to make himself look like a smart atheist.

You could have a reason such as your family choosing it and such. You can't have a real reason though. What I mean is that the choice's will would have never originated in you. Take for instance the idea that you choose a religion because it has a morality you agree with. Well, why didn't you just use that morality in the first place without believing in a god?

The reasons are illogical and therefore irrational.

Ooooh look at me I'm a poet and I do things on purpose and now I'm telling someone to rape people for attention.

Pathetic.

I said that the bible similar to a fable..

A fable is something in which, there is a story, but underneith that story, is a deeper meaning.. and morals.

Just like the bible.

The boy who cried wolf teaches you not to lie, the bible teachers you to behave or off to hell you go.

Hey, you're the one who said you wish you could rape girls.
