How can you compare the majority of crack heads to famous rappers?
Thats like saying, theres plenty of stupid people who are rich.
What about the 500 million starving people all over the world?

Also, if god forgives all, won't he forgive abortion?

He would if you're truly sorry. If you kill and just walk off thinking your automatically saved you aren't. If you go home and pray for forgiveness and truly mean it, you would be forgiven. And by truly being sorry you wouldn't do it again, just pointing that out.

Your opinion can be, but what is in the government cannot be.
Separation of church and state, my friend.



I've read the bible, multiple times actually, and i was honestly playing devil's advocate on that one, more of a sarcastic remark.

tl;dr, an issue i tend to lean conservatively on, which is one of the few human's rights issues i do so.

Libertarian ftw.

He asks, would you shoot adolfs mother.

I wouldn't, but I would point her to an abortion clinic and give her the choice.

The entire video is one sided.

I believe in morality, which is doing right regardless of what I am told.. not in religion which is doing what I am told regardless of what is right. You’re welcome to your own interpretation of the bible and of politics, of course, but for me, I need more than “the bible says so” to justify certain things in this world.

Not to mention it's not as if it was hand written by "god,"
It was written by prophets, and disciples,
AND it was translated at least 20 times from the original text,
the catholic church changed it around because no one could read it,
they made it say what they wanted.

Ex, YOU'RE the one not thinking for yourself, religion is like a pair of shackles. I believe in god, but i do what I think is right, not what i'm told, like dyker said.

It's actually the Inspired Word of God. It was written through man, but inspired by God.
Although I agree with the translation, so much has been changed and different views are taken.

You don't even know what it was translated from.

And you know who else says his work was inspired by god?
Kanye West.

How old are you by the way?

It was translated from Greek and Latin I believe.

And I just turned 15 2 or so weeks ago.

Not originally, it was some Arabic language, seeing as it was written about Jesus, who was from Nazareth, which is in the middle east.

And just because you know what LANGUAGE it was translated from doesn't mean you know what the original documents said.

You have no idea what was changed or how much of it could have been lost.

God has not come down to man again like he used to since Christ's resurrection. If your going what the Bible says, you need to understand that. So if you believe you know Kanye is high, and if you don't then you don't believe Kanye.

Original text:

"Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness."

...10 translations later Google gives us:

"Those who sow in peace peasemakers look around."

(I took a random quote from the bible)

Look what 10 translations has done. Only 10.

Well, Considering the books span from Moses to Paul, I think it's a few different languages right?

I honestly think they have better translators than Google Trans.

My point exactly, what if the bible, was written without ANY reference to god, just a set of stories of a righteous man, who was used as an example for us to aspire to be?

What if at the beginning or end of the bible it said "This is all fictitious, take from it what you may,"?

I honestly think they have better translators than Google Trans.

Nowadays they might, but did they back then?
Do you know how much the human race has grown since then?
you understand how much knowledge is right at your fingertips, whereas a person back then would have to spend literally their ENTIRE lives, just researching and in some cases GUESSING what words meant?
Do you understand that?

Then I would have to say it's pretty amazing how consistent it is, spanning over 100's of years with different languages and over 20 authors made this, yet they all agree with each other and they all lead to 1 purpose.

We need a 2 minute break between posts, I don't like editing my post everytime xP.

So um @Guessing words. If they aren't sure about the word, they actually leave it alone.
EX, Genesis 6:4 uses the word Nephilim meaning giant. People took this to mean giants 20 feet high, but it actually refers to men bigger than normal, but not that big. So they left that alone with translating.

What the FUCK do you mean consistent? Have you READ the original transcripts? have YOU read every translation? How do you know that 500 years ago the bible said anything REMOTELY close to what it says now?

And what's this 1 purpose? (don't ignore my first statement either, don't focus on this.)


How do you know that's not just the language they used when the translation was made?
