I Never Gave A Nod To God

*Wrote this 10 minutes ago. Something just hit me and I had to write it out

I never gave a nod to God
Be he Jehovah, Yahweh, or Allah
Give due to the moon, stars and the sun
Be one with myself
So if I ever choose wrong I still came correct
No matter the path I walk I’ll always give respect,
To a man who chose different, for him he chose best,
I guess
But if you never been exposed who knows what you’ll think say or do
When a man calls you an ignorant fool, hands you a book and says for heaven here’s what you do
Although he hasn’t read it either
He’s just paraphrasing the preacher
Now either that makes sense or that’s bullshit to you
But I know cats that go to church every Sunday
And somehow I know more of the Bible than they
And it ain’t just regional
We talking about people of all kinds with different paradigms
Short and bald, hairy and tall,
non liberals and gays, the working man and the “paid”
Wait, I shouldn’t be facetious while talking about Jesus
Though the Bible never said he was perfect
Look it up yourself if you think it’s worth it
To prove me wrong…
Go ahead, I’ll wait

What should we talk about?

LOL damn good question. Maybe the thing about Jesus being perfect. People make up so much stuff it's silly.

So maybe, what are some misconceptions about specific religions that are just simply taken as true?

Hero worship over 2000 years = divine god.

Squirrel. One syllable or two?

Declaration: FeceMan finds this thread amusing both in its failed attempt at composing something akin to poetry and the amount of error contained within the aforementioned poetry.

Quotation: 1 Peter 2:22-23

"He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth." When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.

Quotation: 1 John :4-5

4Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin.

So, you go to a flawed book to try and prove a man perfect. 🙄

Flawed in what respect? The composition of a book being every liturgical genre ever manifested in the human mind, that fact that it's been a bestseller since Gutenberg, or the one about undermining a religion simply because the norm decrees?

At the very least, the teachings of the Bible are VERY flawed and inaccurate.

The book itself gets like that in the New Testament. God changing his mind on so much when God does not change is stupid.

Teaching in what respect? Who is teaching? If your saying what I think you're saying, you are undermining a teaching because someone taught it wrong. Argumentum ad Logicum I can assure you those who reference the bible correctly know that it is neither a book of pure scientific/historical reliability. It is simply a work of literature that tells a story. Likewise in our society books change people. Certain books are written to change people's lives. Some are changed others are not.

I do not understand a book that promises much and asks for very little is willed to be the target of the criticism and ridicule of that of a criminal. As though the book itself is the cause of inhuman behavior. And no, a person's interpretation does not place the blame on the book. That's as if saying "the grass should be green" should be changed to the color of my green because that's how I understood the sentence to come across.
