The Bible

that's why I rephrased that way in the second one ...

"seven of every kind" doesn't necessarily means, and the same as saying "seven turtles, seven sheep,.. etc."

but rather "seven kinds of turtles, gather them in pairs" ... "seven kinds of sheep, and gather them in pairs" ... etc.

🙂

fine - its about what i would expect to hear... good to know "rephrasing" the bible is acceptable.

Please feel free to take my new biblical contradictions poll!

let's review what i just did... 🙄

😑 it says "seven" [b]KINDS of clean animals...

example, just an example:

pair of chickens
pair of bats
pair of lizards
pair of frogs
pair of spiders
pair of butterflies
pair of turtles

...aren't they "seven" of every kind of animals? 🙄 [/B]

my mistake was i forgot to put the words "of every" there ... because i was emphasizing the use of "KIND" in that sense. 🙄

god meant "break the pairs of clean animals down into sets of seven"

Its so obvious when you put it that way.

😕 oh, you should have told yourself so.

But the whole Bible is very very vague. So how can any of it be taken literally.

Did you ever actually read the whole thing from cover to cover?

I tried, never got through it. The boredom was too great.

I went to church once because they made me when I was a kid and this old woman yelled at me because I fell asleep, I never went back to that horrid place again, It's so Boring!

Well, most people don't go to church for entertainment, they go out of fear that their all "Loving and caring" God will send them to be burned, tortured and raped for all eternity if they DON'T go.

Who do they think will rape them in hell?

All the rapists that rightfully got sent there. Or satan.

Who rapes the rapists?

Some automatic pitchfork thruster, I'd imagine. That, or Ghandi.

Hell sounds like a colorful place

Yeah, looking forward to going there.

I've been bound for hell ever since I tripped a retarded kid

Then shut up about it. You don't know what you're talking about.

But BF is right.

Did you read it?

Why would I want to read a 1000 page book telling me about how I'm going to hell when I die unless I believe in a certain invisible man that lives in the sky, go to a big cult building known as a "church" every sunday and confess sins, no matter how trivial, and give money to said cult building and so they can brainwash fear into my head to keep me coming back, just so I can avoid going to hell. Yeah, sounds great.

I've read enough of it, and heard enough quotes and sections of it, to know that MUCH of it is greatly vague and hypocritical, and just simply silly.
