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?

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

I seem pretentious?

I seem more ignorant than anything else. But just because I simplify it doesn't mean pretention or ignorance.

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.

Arya Stark

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.

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.

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.

TheCunningStunt

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.

Yes, and each story in the Bible has a deeper meaning. What I have a problem with is that you read all sorts of stories with deeper meanings under them, but I don't see you throwing a fit about them. I doubt you do. What is the last fiction story you read?

As far as Bible teachers telling you that, I am pretty sure the religious text is where you will find the religion. The people demonstrate it and it becomes tainted. I don't think that being poor is awesome simply because there are a couple of starving artists creating good art.

I would consider myself a weak atheist. I am a weak atheist in that if I ever found a reason to not be one I would surrender my beliefs. However, atheism is the most rational option. Of course, the term comes no where close to describing my beliefs about things.

I have read the Bible probably numerous times. I was a Christian at one time, one who read the Bible.

Arya Stark

Have you read it since you stopped being a Christian?

I know what you mean.
