Atheist Angers Christians With Bible Verse
transmorpher says...I hear you, but the interpretation part is where I think the problem lies.
While you have a fairly benevolent interpretation, someone else who has trouble getting laid could read it as a god given justification to own sex slaves. That's a pretty extreme example of course, but you can imagine that there would be interpretations varying between your example and my extreme example, many of which could be used to oppress women.
When all that was needed was a simple "no gossiping in church" rule. It's a clear command, unmistakable and unexploitable for anything other that it's original intention.
So a 3rd testament would start with the words READ THIS LITERALLY :-)
Right now though - How do we know whether or not take the bible word for word? It's not even clear whether that is up to us to decide.
It's your interpretation that's made you decide not to read it literally, but instead to interpret it with the overall goal of viewing the good in the bible. And that says more about you being a good person, rather than the contents of the bible. I think you would be advocating living a compassionate lifestyle whether or not you read the bible.
That's why I'm thinking it's unnecessary to even have religion, when we can just teach ethical behavior, and ethical thinking in a very clear way, which leaves no room for error, or danger of allowing people to justify their bad behaviors.
The many confusions & consistencies deal with God's actions toward the peoples of its time. In this video's case, Paul to the Corinthian believers (people-people). My "narrow-minded" guess, is the "women" at the Corinthian church were there not as seekers of the Faith, but as wives just accompanying their husbands, so these females gathered around and started gossiping and various sundry conversations, turning bothersome to the brothers listening to the sermons... so that's why Paul ordered the women silenced. Now, that's MY interpretation, you can argue it's sexist/degrading of me calling the women gossipy (but bear with me for argument sake, because those men at those times are likely sexist!)... but that's one possible scenario. There can very well be other equally (or likely more) convincing scenarios, but only one of them is the truth. But which one is? Who has the authority to know and write down the true case in this 3rd Testament?
People have been discussing for centuries and I don't see the point of reading the Bible literally and try to interpret meanings on these small things. Humans in the Bible all make mistakes. We need to keep on progressing to make the world a better place. That's what Jesus advocated... Picking faults of the people in Bible is useful if we use them as examples of never repeating their faults. But it's no good if we're too focused on finding faults but lost sight of doing good.
Paraglider Threads the Needle (buildings)
robbersdog49Wow! I would have thought that he'd line it all up from a long way out to be sure, but that dive immediately before the buildings, bloody hell. No room for error, dude's got massive balls.
Pat Condell: Apologists for Evil
enochim glad pat condell put this rant out there.he clarifies many points i took issue with in his last,namely islam.also someone i respect on the sift who happens to hail from britain helped give me a deeper contextual understanding of what is going on in that region and how it is affecting the citizens.
since i live in the deep south and therefore am surrounded by a majority of christian fundamentalists,using that scale of parameters i guess i can relate to mr condell.there is no anxiety of where i live ever becoming "invaded" by muslim fundamentalists.they would just end up "disappearing".
i totally agree with him in the context of religiousity becoming so prevalent as to stifle actual personal freedom.fundamentalism has actually become MORE stringent and more concentrated,when logic should dictate that it would lessen.religious fundamentalism is the stagnation of not only mind but imagination and leaves no room for error.strict adherence to biblical scripture is followed,any deviation is considered blasphemous and an affront to god.talk about a recipe for disaster.
welcome to bizzarro world.
Arkells - Oh, The Boss is Coming!
KrupoYes, I do hum this at work. Great song. The "there's no room for error" line makes so much more sense now that I've seen the video.
Such a hilarious video. Much better than the safety videos I've had to watch before.
ROTFLMAO - on a repeat viewing I read the whole list - love the question mark at the end of "Safety First?"
