The Bible is a collection of stories, there is no singular author, and if you are going to say Moses wrote the bible, show some scientific evidence, and show me that there was a man named Noah who herded 2 of every animal in the world on a big arc and lived for 600 years, and how X(I forget her name) conceived if I remember correctly, mutliple hundreds of children. Nothing in the bible makes any sense, it was written by some drunk who heard stories. This topic was meant for abortions, split it and keep on topic please
No. You can't expect to make your bible-bashing point, get away with it, and then claim other people are going off-topic. Show me the drunk who heard stories. The Bible has stood up to much more rigorous literary critique than most other ancient texts. Do you know how many thousands of copies, in whole or in part, of the Bible there are in various languages? I didn't say that Moses wrote the Bible; I'm saying he wrote the first
four books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers). These were during times in which he was alive starting (IIRC) around Exodus 12. Other books are credited to other authors such as prophets (Daniel, Ezekiel, etc. come to mind); David and Solomon, among others (Psalms and Proverbs); Paul, who wrote much of the New Testament; and the gospel authors.
FAITH is dumb. I'd prefer to see proof. Read St. Augustine and Decartes.
I would agree that
blind faith is dumb. But as I've said before, I don't believe that Christians need to have
blind faith.
And yes, this issue has plenty to do with the Bible.
I disagree. If the Bible isn't true, then it frankly has nothing to do with the Bible. From a practical point of view, in a secular society, we're not going to base laws off of the Bible anyway.
I would say this: my principles are guided by my faith. However, I'm not going to impose those principles on others unless I can come up with a reasonable, secular argument.
