Citation needed. Not for me pointing out historical facts. I've already said several times that that is what I am doing. What you need to do is to quote something I posted which proves my intention to use historical facts for the purpose of belittling and condemning Christians.

If only it were that simple, Christians would not have been killing each other for many centuries over the issue of who is a Christian. Ironically, all its various factions have resorted to initiating force in order to resolve that problem. Not very Christian, unless you ignore Christ's command in Luke 19:27, that is. Or his outburst regarding Chorazin and Bethsaida. Or a few other bits of the New Testament. Or huge chunks of the Old Testament. If you try to argue that the OT is not part of Christian doctrine, you'll have to account for the facts that it's part of the Christian holy book that occupies space on the pulpits of all Christian churches, and that it is regularly used to instruct Christians.

What, are you, trying to argue?

Do you think the bible, "is literal?"

It's not.

So, you can not hang us, on that.

Hate speech? Ya, "full of it".

Calls jews, "sons of the devil". John 8:44

Says adulterous women? "should be stoned".

Homosexuals? "Should be executed".

Drunkards, "ridiculed".

Children? "beat with rods".

Gentiles? "they are like dogs"

Women? "silent".

You know, on and on.

So yes, if I may interject

"Guilty".

That's why we needed "a new bible". :date:

You see?

Irrelevant. Christians have been smashing each others' skulls in regardless of whether it is or not. It's cherrypicking that rules. Not only is that easily done - it is necessary, given the number of occasions where one verse flatly contradicts another.

the bible could be about one page long. "Love others" and "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". The rest is totally unnecessary. Mark, sort it out, bro.

No, you are "trying to prove the bible, wrong".

That's OK.

Got to talk about, something.

The bible, literal? No.

Contradictory? Yes.

Confusing? Yes.

Exasperating? Yes.

Too long? Yes.

Too complex? Yes.

Mean, spirited? Yes.

Bigoted? Yes.

Hateful? Yes.

You see?

I agree with you.

I write, bibles.

Better, and better, as I go along.

You, will notice, "my last copy", God speaking here

"Fixes", ALL these problems.

Goodness

Gracious

Me.

Another?

Coincidence?

Now, this guy, could, get laid, in a whorehouse.

He

Could figure, it out.

The third to last line, In The Song of Solomon?

Talks, about this guy.

S
E
X

Is his name, almost. Song of Solomon, 8:12 "My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred."

That, refers, to "the prowess of Solomon", who had 1000, concubines.

And, an additional, "200 official, wives", whom, "he allowed, to keep the fruit" of his loins.

200 wives, given the honor, "of being pregnant", with his child.

And a 1000, sex slaves, "which could not".

They had, to abort

"Just, to keep up"

With this guy.

And..

I write

Bibles.

On the side.

What you've got to realise, Mark, is that Christians, like all conservatives, need to moralise about something. Without moral laws written down for them, they couldn't get all upset by what others do that have nothing to do with them. I think that's what all the other fluff in the bible is. Stuff to let Christians "authoritatively" piss everyone else off with.

Oh yes, it's a terrible thing.

More one liners, than Henny Youngman.

And colors?

I feel like I'm at a dead concert.

Yes, it's real bad.

Needs? interpretation.

And "scrunching", a little scrunching, of the words, together.

Yep, that would be good.

It's pretty simple really.

"This is the Millennium".

Is all it really says.

Oh hell yes.

The "bad guys", man they're everywhere.

Got to get them.

But who, are "the bad guys?"

Everyone, we have a prejudice, against.

Everyone, has got something, "on them".

Everyone, but me.

Hmm.. we all say that.

All, "is bad", nare one, me.

That, is our psyche, Christians.

And, "we're not very good dancers"

I've noticed.

No Napoleon Dynamite, or nothing.

He, "sets the mark", for everyone, I would guess.
