Isn't that what vicars and priests do when they read a sermon?

Here's another nutter for you on the same subject. It defies belief.

Don't let it get to you Ratter. Lots of people like to believe in rubbish and brainwashing. All religions are the same, some just a million times worse than others.

People should try reading Leviticus some time. It is probably the biggest load of twaddle in the whole Bible.

beso, I totally agree, I'm currently going over Genesis again, hilarious reading! especially the bit where God creates light and dark, then created the sun and the moon a couple of later :-)

I just love it!

Janbee, thanks but I never let it get to me, I just think some bits are disgusting, some bits are really amusing and some are just really strange! lol

If Jesus ever existed, other than as a minor anti-Roman nuisance, then the Old-Testament-based fruitcakes must not have heard of "his teaching" (Greek actually approx 300 A.D.).
As an atheist, my problem with the King James version of the bible is that the nonsense-tales are told in what I regard as beautiful english language, even all that begatting stuff.
That, unfortunately, gives it an air of truth to the unquestioning mind.
RATTER15, in your reading of Genesis, who witnessed the events and wrote them down at the time one wonders.
I love and agree with janbee's post: "All religions are the same, just some a million times worse than others". You a George Orwell fan, janbee?
All animals are created equal but some are more equal than others.
I have pondered for many, many decades whether a self-contradiction can be true e.g. janbees truth of "all being the same but some different" being an example. I think that is acceptably true as he/she means they all preach a falsehood but some go OTT, I presume.
Kind Regards,
