Literal interpretations of the bible as absolute facts...are stupid.
If the god literalists believe in actually exists....he is evil.
Not only evil, he is also a prick, and an asshole...and worshiping him/her/it is an exercise in self flagellation and masochism.
Just sayin....

The Outpost is always so comical when it tries to talk about religion vs science.

Most folks who believe the bible tend to be pricks themselves. The really funny thing is most of them have never even read it. It's literally the stupid leading the lazy.
It's comic gold everytime!

Wonder how you can call yourself a believer and yet not read the bible. How do you find out who the God you serve is? Or what he is like? Or how he would like you to be? Kind of hard to walk that line without knowing the boundaries. I doubt that statement holds any weight at all. At least about those that believe and have never read the bible.

Mammogram, nothing I have said is unfactual or metaphysically impossible. As for creationism or a literal interpretation of the creation account in Genesis 1, I do not subscribe to it literally as do some in this thread. I do not argue against it though, because it is metaphysically possible, just improbable.... however IF there is a God then nothing is out of the realm of possibility.

For the majority of the history of Christianity, only the priesthood read the Bible. Lay people reading the Bible is a relatively modern phenomenon.

It's kinda like science classes. Teacher say "this is what happened"... students say "ok".
It's funny how both are similar in that sense.

Really that's pretty much the whole point of religion, isn't it? Just believe what the clergy is telling you, ignore any facts that get in the way. I mean I get why people a didn't object a couple hundred years ago, but today? It's crazy how people can still buy into this absurdity, but watching them try and make it fit into reality is really entertaining.
