Haha. I'll zip it from here out, I just wanted to show some logical difficulties is all. Reverting back to good old Nietzsche yet again, "You have your way and I have my way, as for the right or correct way, it does not exist." I know I'll never be able to convince a believer that there may be some doubt, but I let my mouth run away from me from time to time.

*Zips mouth*

[Guardian G.I.]

oh boy religion debates here we come

...what can possibly go wrong?

[penguinofhonor]

There are plenty of Christians who aren't absolutist. Anyone who believes in the literal truth of the entire Bible is ridiculous, but that's very much a minority of Christians.

[StupidElves]

As a Christian, I would like to point out that I often laugh at the Bible for often disagreeing with itself. This has to do with the Old Testament being thrown out the window whenever Jesus opens his mouth.

[My Name is Immaterial]

I'm going to sit by this sign that says "LEVITICUS WAS A FAN FICTION".

[Frumple]

Though it's really more that the new testament itself was the fanfiction. Jesus was just a big fan that wanted to ship YWYHx<vague pretenses of morality>.

[Graknorke]

I thought Jesus was fanfiction written by the Romans or something?
I don't know where I remember that from and it's probably not true, but there's no way anyone will ever actually find out where it came from either.

Challenge accepted and completed.

Are we discussing Jesus's skin color again?

Who cares anyway? I've long ago decided that I'll figure what he looks like when I actually see him.

Also the picture that started this discussion (The Last Judgment one) is a good example of modern pro-Slavic art. Self-insert as a paragon of righteousness is mandatory.

EDIT: I wonder, Comrade P., what does the picture that you posted supposed to represent? All the Russian saints throughout history? Sure looks like it.

No, we concluded he was descended from beowulf so it's k' now.

Also Dorfy1, don't start getting philosophical because eventually the arguments become impossible to deconstruct and you've practically wasted your time.

...I think I shall determine what is a waste of my time, not you.

...I think I shall determine what is a waste of my time, not you.

What the crux of this new dilemma is, is that what a waste of time is is a matter of... Philosophy.

[Knit tie]

...I think I shall determine what is a waste of my time, not you.

Trying to convince somebody of something on the internet certainly is though.

Sorry.

*Zips mouth*

Whilst I do agree that convincing people on anything is hard, I also see that such an opinion can subvert any argument whatsoever. So, I think I shall speak when I want to, and determine that the fact I want is more than enough reason for it to not be a waste of time.

Yea, "Evolving truth" and all that.

Also, there are significant "plot holes" in the bible.

Those aren't plot holes, those are the plot. It's a redemption story about how a malevolent, vengeful deity came to live as a human and learned the true meaning of friendship, only to be killed by those who had followed it back before it turned over a new leaf~
