How I am NOT impressed
If you were trying to get me to date you, one of the things that you can say to turn me off, other than wishing death to my loved ones is by writing, when asked about your favorite book:
#1 The Bible: It's written by God. It tells the truth. It doesn't hold back. Everything that's important that we need to know is in this book.
I have nothing against God, or the Bible, or people who choose to foolishly believe that the Bible was actually written by God or even Jesus.
But "written by God?" No, actually, it's written by a bunch of different people. That's evident in the fact that many events and stories are repeated, because they're the recollections of the different people. If I'm going to stick with what we have in there without me getting nasty about religion.
It tells the truth? HARDLY! I have read the Bible, and it's a book of symbolisms, at best. I will also leave this one at that, because otherwise I will end up ridiculing too many things that many may take to heart.
It tells you everything that you ever need to know? Really? Where does it tell you how to find ores, turn them into solid metals, and build everything from little transistors to jet engines and a huge jet that takes off carrying 500 people? Or how to open up an atom and do all the crazy things with the neutrons, proton, and positrons? Didn't think so!
Okie dokie then!

I had a prof in college who used to joke that fundamentalists thought that King James wrote the Bible. Sort of a middleman for God/Jesus. ;)
Hmmm...
Politics, religion and Soccer, the forbidden trio of our time!
Good day!
woah. seriously? you know some weird people there... our age? really? no way... well, i better shush now or i might get in trouble [with god, or something...] ;)
Run away! Run faaaar away!
JD - HA! There are way too many middlemen for Jesus in this world, and I don't like any of them!
Julio - And I talk about all of those things here. What a coincidence :)
Kim - That's what I always think: someone our age still thinking that way. It's one thing to be spiritual, it's completely another to be a religious nut!
Kranki - I never even went there. Thankfully!
I love how there's murder, incest and prostitution in the bible yet we're told to love thy neighbour.
Kimberley - Good point. I think the Bible should be rewritten and the message should be: "You know what? Just stay out of thy neighbor's way. Don't worry about loving him/her!"
