The bible

[dave]

Has anyone here actually read the whole bible? cover to cover?

[Bobby Light]

nah

[82355]

Yeah. It sucked.

Then again, I don't think anyone has, because you can't buy a copy of the "whole" bible.

Martin

[Alley]

I didn't understand the plot.

[Hillbilly]

do they have a cliff notes? Maybe a movie?

[fmstruck]

Could give a pretty good book report on it, but never read the whole thing cover to cover.

[Hillbilly]

I think it makes since until they get the psalms and all the begots in there.

[regal403]

I had to read most all of it, yes.

[coop]

ive read a lot of it....

[David]

i've read my fair share and at one time and even read a good chunk of the book of mormon.

Jesus had a teleporter or a spaceship...

[veemaxx]

I've read it twice, King James the first time and the NIV the second time.

You can, but you have to look hard for one; afterall it'll be around 120 years old likely older.

Between Constantine, Apocraphy and everything in between it really got messed up.

[supercrackerbox]

I always wanted to, but I had a hard time even finishing The Hitchhiker's Guide.

Doubtful. Ever hear of the Dead Sea Scrolls?

Martin

[86Shelby]

You make a good point.

I have a 1680 copy of the bible that I've read, cover to cover. I don't believe most of it. I was just curious.

Well that was a big waste of time.

[schovil69]

Nothing I've done is a waste of time. I've learned from every experience.

good outlook.

[MadmaX]

not consecutively, but yes.

cliche' bullshit is more like it.


Dave where you going anywhere with this or just curious?

[dave]

I was just curious mostly.
It seems to me that the bible is the instruction manual for life if you are Christian. It defines and outlines the meaning and purpose of existence.
If there was a life manual for a guy like me, an atheist, i would read it over and over again, and make sure i followed it to a T.

[supercrackerbox]

Wouldn't that be against the concept of atheism?

[dave]

no

[82355]

I don't want a manual.

Martin

[88alltrac]

Wouldn't that be against the concept of atheism?

I would have thought so.

I have probably read about 98% of it at different times.

[MadmaX]

relativism getting old?

[dave]

I'm not sure you guys know what atheism is. It's not anti-god, it's no god.
What I'm saying is if I truly believed there was a book out there that was an all inclusive description of how to live the perfect life (opinion obviously) I would follow it. I don't believe in such a book.
But you guys must literally believe the Bible is the meaning of life. I'm sayin I would probably read it if it meant that much to me.

[coop]

Goosebumps is my book



On a serious note, I agree with Dave.

[dave]

camping tomorrow coop.

[4 cam torino]

I don't want a manual.

Martin

You won't want a life manual that's contents say to drink lots of beer and f- lots of bitches?

[srt-4_uk]

I read parts of the bible.

[supercrackerbox]

Ah, but let's look at your description of this imaginary book.

There's a word for how you're describing this book, and that word is FAITH. Not necessarily in a god, but faith nonetheless.

[dave]

Keen observation detective.

[coop]

this is why i dont follow a book

[88alltrac]

meh im staying out of this argument. i believe in God. some of you dont. your choice. lets all be friends.

[coop]

meh im staying out of this argument. i believe in God. some of you dont. your choice. lets all be friends.

there is no argument.

Just since you believe in God do you follow the Bible to a T?

that is what dave is asking.

[dave]

I dont want to have an argument. I dont believe in a god. Some of you do. Thats fine, it's your choice. Lets be friends.

[82355]

I don't want a manual.

Martin

You won't want a life manual that's contents say to drink lots of beer and f- lots of bitches?

Nope, I was content figuring that out on my own.

Martin

[schovil69]

It's called the anarchist's cookbook.

Thats out of line **** face.

[82355]

Why? It doesn't seem out of line to me.

Martin

[dave]

It's a book about building explosives, and destroying things. Seemed to me he was trying to insinuate that atheists are out to destroy the world.

[s13curtis]

It seems to me that the bible is the instruction manual for life if you are Christian.

OMG WHAT WOULD JESUS DO??? ahhhh :lost:

Martin

I just figured it would be nice to have some confirmation.

[82355]

I get confirmation everytime I nut with someone else's assistance.

Martin

[coop]

needing confirmation makes it seem someone doubts their thoughts.....

(directed to bard)

[MadmaX]

look. I made a new sig.

[dave]

i like it

[4 cam torino]

I was just thinking confirmation more for the times he wakes up next to some fat chick and might have second thoughts :)

[MadmaX]

:lol: alright already bard.

[82355]

Meh, you just sneak outside. Walk to the corner. Look at the street sign, and figure out what direction to start walking.
