It's actually impossible to believe the bible, in whole, so long as there is confusion about what is literal, and what is in need of the interpretation of the reader. For example, a parable. Are parables anything that you can believe? No. The most you can do is believe your own...

Just a reminder about the punishment for blasphemy, which is what the bible does to any god that is actually Good. There is no punishment for blasphemy beyond what we are experiencing right now, with the caveat that what we are experiencing can get worse...a lot worse (for example, the...

Yes. They are unaware that problems can't be solved with the same mindset that caused the problems to begin with.

Definitely, mostly in politics. Here in religion, it could mean bible publishers pushing what looks like a grassroots campaign to read the bible...to sell more bibles. Any other business that might benefit from mass daily readings would also qualify as astroturfing, if they are involved in...

Or maybe the Christians And Other Atheists forum? (Christians ignore any god which does not make man). Or maybe the Daily Astroturfing forum? "astroturfing noun the deceptive practice of presenting an orchestrated marketing or public relations campaign in the guise of unsolicited comments...

This is the Religion and Spirituality forum. Shouldn't this be in the Church Services forum? Or the Daily Idolatry forum? Or the Here's What I Say God Says forum?

That's what they said, to justify the election theft they planned for 2020. Recently Pelosi said they have no intention of losing the midterms so maybe they are planning to steal that too.

Once the political tide shifts midterm, GOP probing of this ought to be relentless till Biden is found to have been illegitimate, on which basis several other measures are passed to rectify the wrong, including increasing Trump's term limit, removing Biden's nominees that are now sitting...

Cuban should be embarrassed. Deposit $100 and trade it = get $100 from Voyager. Big red flag. Only online casinos can afford to do this kind of thing, as they are guaranteed, almost, to make profit on your activity. The only activity Voyager should have a guarantee is the fee for each trade...

Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth That's what one believer told me was the Bible. What instructions would you say this manual is good for? I wonder if studentofthedevil s fascination with letters would qualify as ... Definition of idolatry 1: the worship of a physical object as a...

Your the one suggesting he was conspiring with MAGA, not me. Maybe he didn't like all the guns around and decided he would shoot MAGA from a rooftop. Then maybe he couldn't find a venue where MAGA was near any rooftop, or maybe he didn't want any MAGA sprinting up to his rooftop. So being the...

Well I certainly don't deny this happened to you, or something happened. It is perhaps more common than meets the eye. Probably this is what Judeo-Chistians called "born again", a fairly powerful experience. I too once described it that way, but no more. But I think I am living proof that...

I have discarded much more than Christianity in my quest to find out what the hell is happening here. Yes I have disqualified some fairly advanced worldviews that many consider to be ultra spiritual. There are several more mind-fucks out there, besides Judeo-Christianity. They all have a common...

Wow. I logged out to see what studentofthedevil was up to here. I feel so sorry for you guys that have to wade through so much copy and paste. So much more peaceful on this side of the block button. I can say that back when I was in Rhema Bible Fellowship (for two years) I was almost, almost...

Maybe he noticed it was a hard target...too many guns in the crowd? So he moved on to the soft target.

Interesting lyrics. Beware any religion that depends on the death of what's good (the perfect son) to save what's bad (sinners). People, just let that sink in for a minute. Hello? Knock knock. Earth to Christian. Try wrapping your head around that for even a minute. A religion depends on...

Once, i let two Christians wearing suits downtown kidnap me back to their church, just in time for their services to start on a Saturday, or Sunday night. This turned out to be Rhema Bible Fellowship on steroids (some Temple this or that) . All the men, and all the boys had suits and ties...

I remember my dear older brother making one last ditch attempt to win me back into the Bible fold by bringing me to a Christian rock concert. It was a lot like this video as I recall and way too loud. My brother had calculated that this would fly because I had been a musician and had played...

By the time I left Rhema Bible Fellowship, I could say with confidence very few among them had more familiarity with its contents than I. Having had a private chat with the replacement pastor (the first pastor fell to marital infidelity) I could tell he was a walking talking rolodex of verses...

Starting at 13:15 H.A. Goodman does another excellent job explaining just why Twitter is worse than a complete waste of time, and why he stopped using it in 2018. Kimmel used to have a funny thing he would do with celebrities called "Mean Tweets". Now celebrities are being banned for saying...
