Originally posted by ShakyamunisonIts a little harsh to call one simple minded just for their faith. Some of the most intelligent people i know base their whole lives around religion. Now as far as rationale thats a different story.I think its not a matter of logic more of a matter of ignoring ones own thoughts for an outside source of logic. Because of many peoples inherent distrust of themselves they often look towards something bigger than they are for direction;in this case the bible which does contain many helpful stories. That in combination with the large amount of christian supporters makes a great alternative to the difficult task of thinking.
I was watching the end of a show about the antichrist on the Discovery channel, and there was this guy who made the statement that people who take Revelations literally are simple minded people. He clamed that they cannot understand complex coded imagery, and they want it to be simple. Did you see the show, and what do you think?
The mistranslation of the Bible and symbolic language taken literally has devastated the original meaning and given us a fantasy story.
an initiate of the esoteric knowledge will read the Bible differently to a Christian or Jewish believer. The initiate will recognise the symbolism, the numerology and the esoteric codes, while the believer takes the text literally So the same text acts as a means of passing on esoteric knowledge to the initiated and creates a prison-religion for the masses who are not initiated. Great scam
so the bible stories are symbolic and coded for initiates to understand and the masses to take literally.
-the biggest secret
believers are very much just brainwashed

First of all, responding with vague threats that aren't even yours is rather lame. Second of all, it was a question and in no way a statement of even Christian "fact."

I'm not threatened at all, but you said it as a threat. Did you not?
