[QUOTE=Jello]You're a pretentious douche. Doesn't even have the decency to just stay out of the thread, let alone has to downgrade the value of a literary and historical work such as the bible to "obsolete fiction" Pretty unbelievable that he writes out these little gems of insight while having a google thesaurus on the other tab. Takes a lot of effort to impress your little forum friends, doesnt it? but wait; don't mistake my words as insults, it's just a very clear insight of your shitty self.[/QUOTE]
Here we are in a thread about the "overwhelming splendor and excellence" of an obsolete fictional book, and you are gonna get all whacked out of shape when someone points out that this obsolete fictional book could actually still be useful for a couple things? You are the pretentious douche.

Every university has the Bible as reading in their ancient history curriculum, a core humanities class that is required in nearly every university. It is also a core part of many people's beliefs.
It doesn't surprise me that you think you can degrade something core to someone's belief system to shit and *** rags and then call it useful.
If you think that's okay, then it's obvious you're a pretentious douche as well.
Re: The overwhelming splendor and excellence of the Bible cannot be disputed
Too bad that the bible was plagiarized from no less than a dozen sources, in particular these other "Gods" who were [B]before[/B] Jesus' time but are remarkably similar to what he is claimed to be...

The bible has had an impact on literature, and it is historically important. However overall it is trash. If it were written today it would be mocked to high heaven. And it isn't a core of peoples beliefs, people pick and choose the bits they like and disregard the bits they don't. Every philosophy filters down to the average person, but if we trashed buddha or socrates or descartes you probably wouldn't care.
Re: The overwhelming splendor and excellence of the Bible cannot be disputed
John 14:6 - Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

:lol That's a good reason to say overall, the Bible is trash. It would be mocked in 2012. Very good reasoning.

The Bible is the most fundamental source of differences in beliefs so yes, it is the core of their beliefs. How does people picking and choosing bits to believe make the core source not the Bible?:hammerhead:

dont really see your point about universities, as most universities read plenty of fiction books in addition to the bible. the illiad for example.
so melodramatic with all your crying about someone degrading your core beliefs as a c*um rag. if my beliefs were actually written down on paper somewhere I would be honored if you used it to wipe up some sex juice.

once again the fiction book loses against logic and fact
"please stop pointing out that my belief system based on a book about magic that makes no sense.... i cant handle the truth"
Re: The overwhelming splendor and excellence of the Bible cannot be disputed
Also the "overwhelming splendor and excellence" of the bible can absolutely be disputed especially because of the numerous errors and contradictions that are in it, or do these errors in OP's opinion add to its greatness... :lol

[QUOTE=Jello]How does people picking and choosing bits to believe make the core source not the Bible?:hammerhead:[/QUOTE]
Because the overall process of picking and choosing is influenced by social and literary sources outside of the bible.
