The important bits, lol.

I've heard alot of people say there's not much difference in the two.

Care to share any important bits? Probably the foreshadowing of the next...

Well, I disagree with the religion that spawned from it, and most of the foundational tenets of this religion. Big surprise there huh?

lol, no. :wink:

Did anything in it profoundly change my philosophical perspective? No..there is nothing intellectually stimulating about it.
I read it because a large majority of north american civilization takes it as literal truth, and forknowledge is forarmament.

Could this be why you read alot of other books not pertaning to the bible as well? I know I use to expand my horizons so to speak. Still do in a way. Amazing how you kept reading even tho you found nothing intellectually stimulating. Oh, nevermind, I gotcha.

There are a couple old testament things that have found there way into my philosophy though. One being lex talionis, the other being the 'golden rule'
But the golden rule I practice with one modification..
'do unto others as others do unto you'

This is understandable.

I was going to say something about the Ten Commandments getting changed, but I'm not even going to go there.

I know when I go back I always find something that didn't stick out the first time or so. It's never ending.

I had this thought on Job, I may post a thread on it tomorrow.

Hi I'm the other one. You seem to be doing ok?

I'm not surprised that Doktor S knows the Bible. I am surprised at a statement he made though.

I assure you I know what I am talking about with regards to 'the bible'
I'm not one of those 'atheists' that irrationally hates everything christian. I read from the bible every day. In fact, every time I take a crap.
Something synchronous and circular about reading it in that location that I enjoy.
I know the bible pretty well. My favorite has to be pauls letter to philemon, and the keen way he describes believers in said epistle.
You know what I'm talking about?

I am rather shocked to hear that bolded statement, Dok. I am surprised that you linked atheist and irrational together in any way. Can you explain that a bit further? I, of course. have seen irrational in conjunction with faith, but I am not sure you mean this the same way. I really would appreciate it if you could elaborate a bit further. Thanx.

Yeah, I'm doing ok.

I won't be back for awhile tho. I think you know why.

Bye Momma Angel.
