The Bible

[rustoffa]

(carbon 14 tastes good)

Why did Peter's bones serve as the foundation for the vatican?
The crusades were a bitch for everyone involved.
The inquisition?

Too many variables involved.

Galileo tried to turn it into a handbook.

One thing's for certain, It's a hotbed of controversy!

There's this clause they pounded into us in elementary school that whatever the Church holds true, God holds true in Heaven. I never bought that.

I hate when people influence children on issues of faith, morality, politics etc.

Let children come to their own conclusions on the subject(s) as they grow and experience life.

Mezro...forcing shit on people is not educating them...

I respect faith as well but despise those who are blinded by it.

Mezro...our current president comes to mind...

Bush is not a Christian.

He says he is.

He doesn't know who the head of india is.

Ask him who the 12 apostles are.

LOL

He will fail.

Don't forget RUFUS

I just think it's amazing that over thousands of years people have spent so much time analysing every nuance of the text of the bible but so little has been done looking into where it came from.

There seems to be some pretty good evidence that Mary Magdelene was of royal blood so are we looking at spin...?

You have Constantine fearing the threat of an alternative heir so how better than to say she was a whore?

Unless Jesus was a screaming homosexual then it was deeply frowned upon for a 30 year old Jewish guy in those days not to be married. If he wasn't married then there should have been some justification for that in the gospels.

Leonardo da Vinci in his last supper painting shows a women(surely) at his right hand side.



Why would he risk that?

Cheers!

Imagine if that were really true and the Bible was nothing more than a gay travel log.

Mezro...say Jesus, you have a really styling goatee there...

I think it really comes down to either he was gay or the bible has been severely manipulated.

At the moment I'm going for the later.

He did kiss Judas in the garden. or vice versa

according to the bible.

Ford was acting like it was the end of the world.

It's been said and documented that there was also references to karma/reincarnation that were removed from what is now called the bible.

At the moment I'm going for the bible not being historically accurate and that people put way too faith in a work of fiction.

Mezro...I'd be surprised if 10% of it was true...

It's like this: let's say that I believe in the Bible, Heaven, Hell, the whole enchilada, and you don't. Now, If YOU'RE right - it's all a bunch of superstitious bunk - then the only way we're BOTH going to know is when we both reach thermodynamic ambiance (READ: room temperature). And then nobody's going to be around to gloat, will they? BUT - BUT - let's just assume, for a moment, that I'm right. That there is an Almighty Creator, and if we want more than this miserable existence, there are a few (logical) ground rules we have to follow. Now, if I AM right, then when I die, my soul goes to a Much Better Place. YOU have some 'splaining to do at The Pearly Gates. Now, either way, I think I'm in a win-win situation. Even if YOU'RE right, at least I'll be remembered as someone that didn't run around living some Lord Of The Flies existence, and I can live with that.
