this is a discussion between people who believe in a book
Believing and worshiping are two different things. I do neither, you do both. For fucks sake if Jesus was so important you'd think the Bible wouldn't have skipped 18 years of his life. You have faith in a book (man) I have faith in God.
Worshiping the Bible does not mean you have a relationship with God. In fact worshiping the Bible (man) is an affront to God. Faith is the only way to have a relationship with God and worshiping cherry picked man written words is the furthest you can get from having faith. Not worshiping the Bible is NOT synonymous with not having read the Bible or misunderstanding the Bible. Get good faggot!
Why are you hating so much on the Bible? And as far as faith is concerned: you don’t think it takes faith to believe what’s written in the Bible? I wasn’t always a Christian; for the first 30 years of my life I thought you had to be a moron to take scripture literally. And then something…changed. I can’t explain it, excuse it defies explanation. The Bible to me is real, and to me it is the inerrant, inspired Word of God.
That's why I don't hate you for it. I just don't like people that talk down to people because they believe, and believe their way of believing is the only way to believe as you did in your original comment that I replied to.
