The Bible is what it is. Mocking what it says does not change what it says. Growing up Methodist, I learned that the Bible is a book of parables, and much of the Old Testament is cultural lore passed down from before there was writing. It is an historical reference. No one in their right mind today advocates that modern morality adhere to Biblical standards. You can find a passage in the Bible that will say anything you want it to. That's not the point. The point is to read out of the Bible, not into it. One should learn a lot from parables, if he is willing.
Anon@4:16pm - If "no one in their right mind today advocates that modern morality adhere to Biblical standards," can you explain to me why people in positions to govern the entire fucking country are making decisions based on those parables?
The people who vote for them are not in their right minds. I agree with you that there are too many of them. It's not the Bible's fault, it's how they have been taught to interpret what it says.
Does Jeff Briges know that jesus uses his pics without his consent?

I'm a big fan of testicles too but I'm nowhere near as fussy about it.
ReplyDeleteI guess that's why I'm not God. 8D
Thanks, Rick!
