Okay. Hi, sirazimuth.  So sad that you can't say 'hi' to yourself, being invisible and imaginary. Or is it that you are taking the lockdowns way too seriously? If you are, it matches your handle, seriousmouth. Lol.

The accuracy of the Bible isn't the important thing. Why not? Because you can find all kinds of Bible readers on both sides... believers and unbelievers. In the same way that God uses the Bible reading that Bible readers do to work salvation in some, nobody knows how the Holy Spirit does this... or how the unbelievers resist.

Much of the Bible makes simple sense. Some of it seems contradictory. Bible believers explain some of it away, but much of the Bible is complicated enough that it can't be explained easily. Yet believers keep on believing, and unbelievers remain in unbelief.

Here's the answer. What was the failing of Adam and Eve that brought sin into the world? I mean the real failing, not the simple idea of eating the forbidden fruit. Basically, it was that they believed the snake rather than God. So, since it hinged on belief, God turns it back to us in the form of believing Him now... even if we don't understand exactly what we are believing or how we are doing it.

As Paul and Silas said to the jailer, Acts 16:31: They didn't say "understand and you will be saved." They said "believe."

Hebrews 11:6 says it clearly:As it says further Hebrews 11:13-15:
So, maintain your faith in God the best way you know how, and trust that He will maintain you in the ways that you can't.

I just wanna share my insights about religion as I grew older. Before, I can say that I really believed on it and I devoted most of my time to please the church as well as God but as I learn and reflect about the things happening in the world, I find it illogical to keep my faith on something that lets the people of the world suffer with injust. I found it logical that it is very impossible to have a scripture that is not revised nor manipulated that was kept clean up until now. As clueless as I am on how the world really began, I am also curious about what is the true religion or was there such thing as true religion.

I can always count on a reply from you, bud. Say hi to your invisible imaginary friend for me!

I barely glanced at your Jesus joke. But Jesus liked it.     

Freedom of choice of religion is one of the proofs of human rights.  I just hope that one day you will find your faith.  even if you are an atheist if you really use your mind in your daily life, then you will always do positive things (not drinking, stealing, free sex etc.) because it is basically against reason.  Religion only helps humans understand their existence.  I recommend you to watch the P.K movie starring Amir khan.  there is a very deep meaning in the guise of religion.  This film carries a very sensitive theme.

Hey, did you like my jesus joke bud?
I got plenty more.......

^^^ There is only one reason why you are an atheist... You simply don't want to accept reality.

It's Sunday. You should be in church.

 edit... (apologies for self quote)
This joke is more effective told IRL, so you can
frantically flap your arms in front of yourself as you start falling forward while yelling the punchline.

I used to believe in God. my grandmother told me a lot about it and read the Bible. but as I grow older, I begin to doubt its existence. more and more often it seems to me that we have nowhere to wait for help, we need to rely only on ourselves. but all the same, that is, it is not God, but some kind of force exists. we just can't investigate and explain it yet

Question with regards your username. Do you believe in "Moloch"? ...........or "Vulcan" to ye pagans

Well speaking of holes in Jesus, did he not also have holes in the palms of his hands?
Rumor has it that a kind hearted passing by roman, upon hearing Jesus's groans of pain, impaled up there on the cross,
decided to remove the nails that made those holes in his hands......
"No worries bro...I'll get these nails out...I got a claw hammer!"
Jesus replied in a panic...''whoa, WHOA!!...feet first!!!...."

Jesus was dead when some people, many only had met him on dreams or under the effects of some intoxicating substance (including Paul of Tarsus, who had persecuted Christians all his life), decided to write the New Testament.

Christians say that he resuscitated. The bible says he had the hole from the roman lance, but claims that he kept walking around.

I guess it would be too much to ask from Jesus in that situation, that he would still had the presence of mind to write something.

He probably would said "Come on bro, I have this hole here, give me a break... you write something about me".

It would be nice to have something written by him. But I doubt his text would survive the censors of the IV century.

Even the Gospel according to Peter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Peter) was excluded from the Bible.

why did Jesus did not write a single book/paragraph/sentence in the bible?

Christians use the cross as a symbol with pride, usually with Jesus nailed on it.

But there is no need to invoke common sense. The very bible leaves abundantly clear that Jesus wasn't pleased with the experience.

If he could see them, how Jesus would feel to see all his worshipers with a cross with him nailed?

I doubt that he would be pleased with the homage. It would bring him traumatic memories.

Christians say that the fact that God (the father) was willing to send his son on a suicide mission (Bill Maher) with the goal of saving us all from our sins is evidence that he is a god of love!

If god's goal was to clean humankind from their past sins, couldn't he just forgive them?

If his intent was to make us better by example, he couldn't find a better way?

God is said to be omnipotent but the only way he found to make us better was to sacrifice Jesus to die an agonizing death?

Jesus wasn't pleased with the experience. He cried out: My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?! Was he talking with himself (god, the father, and god, the son)? It doesn't look like as he planned the move...

Sacrificing Jesus wasn't a breach of the command he gave to Abraham, not to kill his son?

Do what I say and not what I do?

You just know there has to be some irony somewhere. Keep looking. You might even be able to find some.

My BADecker irony meter just exploded....

Well, that depends on several things. For example. So far they are only calling direct deaths from the vaccines 'vaccine deaths'. But since the vaccines are turning the vaccinated into Covid super-spreaders, they might start tracking all the Covid cases attributed to the super-spreaders. New people dying of Covid - vaccinated or not - could be considered vaccine deaths if they caught Covid from a vaccinated super-spreader. This would take numbers of vaccine deaths way higher than the small numbers you are talking about.

Right now there are some traffic accident deaths cause by vaccine-deranged-drivers that really should be on the list of vaccine deaths... even if they were passengers who were never vaccinated, because they were caused by a vaccine-deranged-driver.



The purpose of everybody is at least slightly different than that of everybody else. That's why the religion of everybody is different than everybody else.

For example. Take a husband/wife team who are real soul-mates. They can almost read each others' minds. They go to the same church, and believe the same way, and have extremely similar understandings about God and the Bible. Yet, no two people can be exactly the same in understanding. So, even these two people have slightly different religions.

We all live in the same world. If we live in a city, and walk down the sidewalk, and pass other people walking the other way, we don't kill them dead simply because they have different beliefs... like going the other way. So, we ALL accept others' beliefs in ways, even though our beliefs are not the same as any of them.

Do you even think before you post your silly stuff?

  HAHAHAHAHA

This is making me laugh so hard, but WOW now they are nearing 400,000 WOW, what's next? 600,000 or 800,000

People have purpose, though different than yours, but you can't accept that, cause your very own religion is selfish to the fact that you can't accept other peoples beliefs. OOPS

There is an ideal response to the finger-in-the-air, data-free, citation-free 'fact' above - which you are yourself implying is nonsense by qualifying it with the word "possibly".
That ideal response is:


You may find that many of them are lunatics ranting from their basement. Like that 'Satan Soldiers' guy from a few weeks back. Or the guy in that other video you linked to who kept saying that Bill Gates has a forked tongue.
