Finally, my friends, keep your minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly, and proper. Don't ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise. — Philippians 4:8 (CEV)

"Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly (of religion) and ignorant superstition."
-- Isaac Asimov

Finally, my friends, keep your minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly, and proper. Don't ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise. — Philippians 4:8 (CEV)

I absolutely agree with this verse.

Isaiah 40:8

"The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever."  (NIV)

[falcon9]

Grass and flowers continually renew themselves.  The specious religious propaganda source remains unchangingly-static and without evidentiary basis.

Isaiah 40:8
"The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever."  (NIV)

Isaiah 40:8

"The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever."  (NIV)

I've read the entire bible, I'll admit, only once.  I'm reading all these quotes from the bible and they remind me that none of this is very profound or thought provoking.  These are quotes written for a relatively simple minded, and intellectually uneducated and undemanding people living over 3000 years ago.  Some of you people, with that primitive level of education, are still around today.  Most of these quotes, childish as they are, would make Dr. Suess look like a candidate for the Nobel prize in literature.

"Now the star-belly sneeches have bellies with stars,
and the plain bellied sneeches have none upon thars."

Very profound and moving, don't you agree?  It really makes you ponder our existence in this space-time continuum.  Keep reading your childish book, the only book in your library, and keep quoting that primitive nonsense over and over and over again.

The xtian bible consists of the Hebrew scriptures of Judaism, which are known as the "Old Testament"; and later writings allegedly recording the lives and teachings of Jesus and his followers, known as the "New Testamen"t.  Neither of these are 3,000 years old however, and actually are somewhat less than 2,000 dusty years old.

Some of you people, with that primitive level of education, are still around today.  Most of these quotes, childish as they are, would make Dr. Suess look like a candidate for the Nobel prize in literature.

Very sardonic, thanks.

[alaric99x]

Well, I'm going back to the Yahvist origin of the Torah, dating back to about 950 BCE, so that's almost 3000 years ago.

Well, I'm going back to the Yahvist origin of the Torah, dating back to about 950 BCE, so that's almost 3000 years ago.

It seems that the "pentateuch" texts were written back then but, over a 300 year period and allegedly derived from various oral traditions, (some of which were pre-existing pagan sources).  Nevertheless, the texts rely upon superstitious faith in lieu of facts and remain specious religious opinions/self-serving mythologies which lack evidentiary foundation.

[alaric99x]

Of course, the entire repeatedly edited and modified text is invented and superstitious.  It's just endlessly amazing that people who proclaim themselves to be even moderately intelligent would believe such nonsense.  And, just imagine, almost all of these people have been issued valiid drivers licenses in the states of their legal residence.

Once again I joke at their expense, but I'm sure you get the point.  Welcome to Disneyland.

[falcon9]

Of course, the entire repeatedly edited and modified text is invented and superstitious. 

Yet, the religious adherents have insisted that such is "divinely inspired", (sans evidence of this, naturally). One can wonder why these religious superstitions are clung-to so tightly and so desparately.

It's just endlessly amazing that people who proclaim themselves to be even moderately intelligent would believe such nonsense.  And, just imagine, almost all of these people have been issued valiid drivers licenses in the states of their legal residence.

Presumably, if driver's licensing included 'rationality' testing, holding irrational religious beliefs might prevent them from obtaining a license.

Once again I joke at their expense, but I'm sure you get the point.  Welcome to Disneyland.

Yep, although I ceased being 'amazed' that so many people could continue to delude themselves with religious superstitions some time ago.

[alaric99x]

Yeah, it might surprise you, but it probably won't, when I tell you that I'm also "divinely inspired."

I recommend that we cut open a chicken, I have no doubt that there would be a great deal of divine inspiration if we carefully and expertly divine the spiritual messages that we would be able to read from the entrails.

That maybe be plenty good mojo.

James 3:3-5a By putting a bit into the mouth of a horse, we can turn the horse in different directions. It takes strong winds to move a large sailing ship, but the captain uses only a small rudder to make it go in any direction. Our tongues are small too, and yet they brag about big things. (CEV)

[falcon9]

Some tongues are still wagging with superstitious religious nonsense, as if it were a "big thing" to promote self-delusion.
