you are trying to equate religion and science in terms of idiocy by typing on a computer built by science. therefore the two are not equal. you already lost fundie, stop typing.
If I’m not mistaken his post was in context to the bible’s explanation of the nephillim.
No I’m not, idiot. I’m saying neither side has an intelligent or an actual scientific argument. Your computer analogy is nonsense and does not make sense. Quit being an asshat and use an average percentage of comprehension abilities before you go with your “you lose” and fundie labeling garbage…
Religion was invented by the jews as the first step of their world wide mind control program. 100% true.

What’s the ranking of angels from lowest to highest and their duties?
This word disturbs me
Stop arguing about religion. This has gotten way out of hand. Why can’t people discuss the material behind many religions without resorting to their own faith views?
People can talk about Greek mythology left and right but discuss any of the practiced religions today and bam, arguments. Seriously, way to completely fuck up a decent discussion.
This is currently catching my interest, I was actually thinking of making a thread about how various religions and mythology have same stories and are they figurative, literal, or maybe both. Then find out the purpose of it by decoding/ciphering and going back to the times of antiquity. So far I don’t see anyone taking this thread seriously since most of the post are just off topic. I’m questing my Christianity and all re legion
I have read few books on this matter like how the flood story can go all the way back to ancient Sumeria. There are dozens of myths and ancient civilizations that talk about a flood. You can look it up on wikipedia of how Enki , water god, to tell someone to build an ark.
Ra, sent his goddess to flood people in Egypt because he feared that they will overthrow him, etc etc etc.
Then of course we have Noah and his Ark. He brings two of every creature into the Ark and his family. I think this has more esoteric knowledge then anything. Who knows maybe there was a flood hundred of thousands of years ago and there are lost advanced civilizations in the depths of the ocean and man does not have the technology to find it.
I worship the thing that provides all life to the planet, that which is reliable, has never let me down, is the light of my life, and provides me with warmth.
I worship the sun.
A world wide flood is the popular interpretation based on the English translated Bible. It’s still very debateable to Christians and Jews if the flood was global or just local because the word “earth” during the ancient times was the word they used for the ground, land, and rocks; not the entire planet. Additionally, it is likely that the writers of Genesis thought the land (Mesopotamia to maybe Asia Minor) they were in was the entire world because just how could they know the size of our planet and the rest of it’s continents during that time to conclude something was actually global? Unless they were explorers, which they obviously weren’t. The biggest argument for the global flood is the fact that other civilizations AROUND the world have a world flood story, not just the ancient sumeria one but other old civilizations from Japan, China, other parts of Asia, Europe, the Latin Americas all have their flood story with their own mythos involved in it and they date around the same time line. These things you read on the internet such as “similiarities of flood myths and creation stories” are not something that was discovered in the 21st century; it’s a very old topic that people since the beginning have wrestled with.
so um how many americans here believe the world started 6000 years ago and that man hung out with dinosaurs n shit?
I was with you until you mentioned the sun. There are stars all over the galaxy, I don’t think all of them have life sustaining planets revolving around them.
Instead of the sun, I look at water as the source of all life on Earth and out of everything we currently know, probably most worthy of worship and of being held sacred.
Anyway, that’s a bit off topic and even kind of like a science based philosophy I guess.
Of course, without both, life couldn’t exist. So how about a new Holy Trinity! The Mother (water) The Sun (obvious is obvious) and the Holy Noodly Appendage 
Why do people still think the 6,000 year thing is theological/biblical argument or a doctrine with in a religion, in the first place?
Cause thats when Cain bailed from Eden, started the city of Nod and created the vampires
Cain sounds like a bit of a baller.
Have you seen vampire babes?
Dude had it worked out. Make 'em young forever.
Defiantly, I wish God was the local judge around here, hell id kill my own brother as well if it meant I got to live forever, divine protection from all harm and granted a host of superhuman powers.
Proof that there are no mods here 90% of the time.
Well, any that are worth a shit.
Anyways I guess I should stay on topic…and post some pics of gods
A complete and literal interpretation of The Bible. First, the 6 creative days. Which was fine, up until someone came along who was both smart enough and brave enough to say “that’s bullshit!” So creationists cite 2 Peter 3:8 (But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day; KJV) as justification for it. It was a period of 6000 years. That worked for a while, but unfortunately for them, smart and brave are really catchy qualities and in time there were bred many more smart and brave men and women who followed up “that’s bullshit” with “that’s complete and utter sheer unadulterated grade A bullshit.”
And the most amusing and/or unnerving point of all of it is that the only way to rectify the young Earth argument from the viewpoint of The Bible is to go right back to the start - blind belief in what is tantamount to magic and counterintuitive to anything ever observed in real life.
Circular. Logic.
:tup:
I don’t get why people say it’s a complete and literal interpretation because I don’t recall one verse in the bible where the Earth was actually created or the # of years it actually existed; the Earth some how was already there before the “First day”. And wouldn’t your 2 Peter 3:8 verse say that it took 6 thousands years for the world to be created instead of existing for 6 thousand years? I would like to know the certain intellect that rose and proclaimed BS on that because I can’t find any young earth/6,000 years and 6 literal days arguments before James Ussher… neither can i find any non-creationists that spoke against the 6,000 year old or literal 6 days argument. The earliest i found were people like the Father of Geology: James Hutton, St Augustine, Martyr, Quadratus, etc etc but they were creatonists and they, except for Hutton, lived before the Bible was published.
The 6,000 year young earth was never an original or even popular view, it was a theory made by some guy named James Ussher and he built that theory by “calculating”.
The Bible states that in some time God created the heavens and the earth, then in some time the earth became desolate then God sought to restore the earth up to the creation man. It can be estimated from the genealogies that man has been in existence for five or six millenias.
