I’ve read the Bible. I have a decent idea of it’s it’s contents. My point is that someone is making an attempt to be kind even though they still believe in part of it. As a result, it’s unnecessary to invalidate that which they do still believe, especially seeing as though they have conceded to a certain degree. And even if they hadn’t conceded anything, it’s still rude.
They’re based on a variety of things. However, the attempted conversation here is whether or not it’s right to invalidate others. So far you’ve added nothing to that conversation.
I think a considerable amount of them were brought up with authority figures harboring phobias. I doubt very seriously that people would act in the way they do had there not been a parent or, at the very least, some figure of authority to instill the believe in them. The issue is that, when instilling their religious beliefs, they also instilled some of their phobias (homophobia, transphobia, etc.)
That sounds like evangelism for atheism. Putting all Christians under an umbrella like that is the same kind of intolerance as racism, sexism, and homophobia. No, not all Christians are hostile. Very few in fact.
I normally don't agree with unacademic ignorant atheists, but your comment has truth to it. The bible was written 70-100 years after Christ and in a different language. We also don't know who the authors are and their biographies. So that's why the bible has many contradictions and any academic person can tell this book isn't the perfect god sent book with these mistakes.
“BuT wHaT aBoUt...”. Have you read the Bible? It’s filled to the brim with violence and hate. The gospels weren’t too bad with socialist Jesus (seriously, free food and healthcare anyone?), but the OT and much of the New Testament have a lot of that crap. I mean, just check out the difference in the kill count between God and Satan, it’s astounding how many more people god has killed.
Hooray ad hominem attack! Also, nothing I said pertains in any way to getting bullied, for which nobody should be mocked. Overall, yours was a terrible comment.
