This solves a third mystery: your God-like sarcasm powers solving the the world's greatest mysteries can only mean...you are God. 😐

Tell me, God, do you really care if I help homeless people? Or is that shit liberals say to do to make themselves feel better?

And all I care about is the continued devotion of millions of sheep, asking me to contradict everything to appease their petty desires. If this were the Elder Scrolls, I'd be a Daedra Prince.

Why does the bible have to be fact. Would you not believe in the bible if it wasn't fact?

I thought that faith was required.

It is true that is what I mean by its a fact. Anyway there is really no point comparing Fairy Tales and the bible it does not make any sence.

Then you are using the word "fact" incorrectly. 😉

That explains a lot...like...everything. 😐

See, I don't think Daedra's are all that bad. Some of them seem decent but a bit dark. Some are like The Joker but much much more intelligent than him, obviously.

Anything that has metaphores and analogies are great. You can learn something from them, but it doesn't make them a true story. 😖mart:

I agree with the answer. I'm just not sure which one is real.

Both have some truth to it and neither is absolute fiction. Both are equally disturbing.

Like the Sleeping Beauty story.

In the original story, the sleeping beauty, under a spell slept in a castle for a long bloody time, then king came along one day, raped her, she got pregnant few times from the rapes, gave birth to children (all this while asleep) then one day one of her children sucked on her finger and the ring that was keeping the spell on her slid off her finger and broke the spell.
She woke up raped and with few children around. The end.

I like the Disney one a lot better. cry

Which story do I prefer?

1. The Galactus Trilogy
2. The Matrix

😄

well one thing the bible left out was the existence of the dinosaurs? There wasn't much talk about mythological beast revelations, where he talks about the beast coming out of the river with seven heads, and the lion with many eyes.

The Legend of 1900 is a legit movie. I recommend it to anyone.

The people who wrote and edited the Bible didn't have the knowledge we do now. There's no reason to suspect they'd know about the dinosaurs.

On a serious note, I use Aesop's Fables to try to explain my take on myth. They aren't true, but that doesn't mean they aren't valuable tools for teaching children about morality, life situations, and managing or coping with relationships or struggles.

The Bible, and indeed much of mythology in general, is just Aesop's Fables for adults. The fact that it's either provably false (much of the Old Testament, for example) or dubious as literal truth (the rest) doesn't need to strip it of value, it just should strip it of literal import.

Most fairy tales are usually laced with occult symbolism.

The Bible, however, is the perfect Word of God.

I think I know which one I favor...

Batman's not real either, you know.

You know, Jews and Christians (most, actually) believe Bible was written by men but inspired by God. Traditionally this has been the case.

Also, original Christianity, as in the first 500 years or so, Christianity had many mystical and ''occultish'' things in it.
Ironically, much later it was the Catholic Church that declared all mystical Christian practices as ''heresy'' and ''from Satan''. It wasn't originally so.
First Christians practised ''magic'' as part of the Christian mysticism. It is still present with some orthodox Christians.
One thing that was 'removed' totally from the Bible was the belief in reincarnation and the idea of eternal Hell was brought in.
This too, (eternal hell) was not the original Christian teaching.
