Dr Seuss, who else could come up with characters like that? I'm sensing a high level of win from this post.

I have a real problem with "the" bible. Namely, it was never actually written down for several generations. It was just told by word of mouth, because no one knew how to actually write it down. Then when it was eventually wrote down, the stories were likely hyperbole'd extensively, as most writers, even "the first" writers, tend to dramatize things. THEN, because this is the age before photocopiers, whenever a copy of the bible is needed to be made, and this happened more than likely HUNDREDS of times, someone physically copied it by hand.. Who knows what these people omitted or added, or again, hyperbole'd. This is why there's a lot of different versions out there.. with a lot of inconsistencies between them. It's stuff like this that causes me to not believe any of it, because who's to say any of the stories, with none of the hyperbole, ever happened, and aren't just campfire stories that grandfathers told their grandkids as fact, and those kids told their kids, who told their kids, who told their kids.. every time the story is passed on, it's made more elaborate.. It goes from "a man gave me a fish and a piece of bread" to "a man took a piece of bread and a fish and by magic made enough to feed the whole country" and a number of other similar stories. Family Guy made satire of it, and it's what I agree with more than anything.. i'm fairly sure many of the stories were actually handed down by word of mouth for generations before finally being collected for 'the bible'. i'd still like to get my hands on all the gospels that were 'kicked out' - such as jesus killing a dove at a young age out of joy. indeed. quoted for truth

I wonder if she's even REALLY Christian, because all the ones I know including myself know that the Bible was written by several different authors, some identified, and others unknown. The words themselves come from divine inspiration (obviously non-Christians will disagree, but I am referring to Christian beliefs here), but the actual physical book was recorded by man. I really don't understand her point here. I get she's trying to argue for Christianity, and that's great, stand for your beliefs, but that PROBABLY isn't the best argument for it lol

I'm sensing that most of the people here bashing the Bible and Christianity have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. But it's the norm around here, so I'll just but out.

Well the big thing is that a lot of books we just don't know who wrote it, so people have to just take their best guess. Either way, anyone, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Atheist, can tell you that humans recorded the bible, without a doubt.

I'm looking forward to your opinion most, TBH. I really didn't mean to come off like a dick, man. But these threads always degenerate into a Christianity bash fest. I've had the mature conversations with the same handful of guys whom I know respect it; k5, Hulk, Slappy, Stingersplash, you. Outside of that, it's the same crap.

A church in rome said a few weeks ago that the story of adam and eve (whatever they're called )they don't believe in. That throws the whole story away with the poison apple and other stuff I think you're mixing up the Garden of Eden with Snow White because the fruit wasn't poisonous and no one knows if it was an apple.
