A Bit Of A Hiatus But Finally Done It

[nailit]

A bit of a hiatus (lockdown, work, personal things etc) but finally read the Bible all the way through, again!
How on earth can anybody read this mess and believe its the word of (any) God is beyond me.
Read about a 3rd of it and left of for a bit. (TBH the unrelenting slaughter was getting to me a bit) Picked up again and read whole books at a time. The contradictions alone had me questioning, never mind the bloodshed etc (That was before I got to the new Testament).
Then the New Testament accounts doent agree with each other.
I tried.
The bible is a crock.
Different books, Different authors, different theologies.

Modern church...
We'll try to reconcile them all and call it the bible...
Good luck with that one.

Theland, what do you suggest, another book of fiction?

[Theland]

The Lord Of The Rings.

[nailit]

Christian revivalist preachers...
You'll all bloody bonkers if you believe this sh t.
Life is read in tooth and claw.

[Mamyalynne]

It's more than red on here, a very stormy grey more like , all this anger must be tiring.

[nailit]

wrong thread ^^^ although probably the right one in retrospect.

[Theland]

Speechless and out of here.

No chance of hearing about the morality of killing your wife if she doesnt bleed on her wedding night then?

[Theland]

I think you are quite sick Nailit.

[Atheist]

Maybe a bit less anger and abuse would not go amiss. What motivates this personal animosity?

[Atheist]

It's not good to defend one's views by being rude to others.

//I think you are quite sick Nailit//
Interesting...

[MartinMillar]

Nailit have you been drinking?

[nailit]

//Nailit have you been drinking?//
Nah! Few grams of coke, a couple of spliffs, a few Benzos, a line of smack but no drink. Cant get into the bloody pub...

[Atheist]

Nail, best stick to one spliff; you don't need the rest, do you? And stick to own-grown if poss.

[nailit]

//Nail, best stick to one spliff; you don't need the rest, do you? //
Am a bit greedy at times lol.
(Actually cant stand the stuff)...

[nailit]

Theland thinks Im sick.
MM thinks Im 91sseed
All because I question biblical morality??

[royfromaus]

nailit, why read a book that you know you will bring out the *** in you?

[Atheist]

No, Nailit, just because you can sometimes be rather forceful in expressing your views. That's fine apart from the fact that you and Theland knocking seven bells out of each other is not very entertaining for those of us who are seeking insight into other people's insights. We know you and TH are at loggerheads, but you can both be a bit yah-booh at times. Best wishes to you both; we are all specks in the great universe.

//nailit, why read a book that you know you will bring out the *** in you?//
How do you know that its bought out the WORST in me??
There are other tomes of which I can be much more scathing....
Just havnt cropped up yet in conversation...

[nailit]

// we are all specks in the great universe//
On that we will agree...
