Re: The Religion Thread
I notice CAT references the "NIV", ostensibly the "New International Version" of the Bible. The NIV is apparently an all-new translation of original documents, by a group of experts over a period of time, and still continuing. Interesting bit there is that the NIV leaves out a few verses that had been a part of the "old" standard, the King James Version. No big deal, but you have to wonder what the literalists think. Have they been wrong all these years to believe literally every word in the KJV? Or do they not believe the NIV experts know what they're doing in their translation? Or might they realize that translations of obscure dead language isn't likely to get everything exactly right in literal as well as contextural translation? Naaaa.

Re: The Religion Thread
I was going to excerpt this but it's all interesting, and horrifying, to me. It addresses the wussy perpetual victimization that wingnut Christian fundies like 1 FAT CAN feel.bannination wrote: ↑Thu May 14, 2020 12:51 pmThe whole WORLD hates you?
Damn man, what did you do???

Re: What happened in your life that caused you to hate God so much?
Anybody heard about how Jim Bakker is coming along after his stroke the other day? I began to wonder the other day if he was singing that line from some old rock song....."stroke me, stroke me...." and if so, maybe there is a god. I forgot who did that song or what song it is, but thanks.

Quote verified by me.I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.

I object to this line of questioning - assumes facts not in evidence.
Also, asked and answered.

Hearsay. Or heresy, depending on your perspective.
