redtwiga 0 #27 September 16, 2003 QuoteI agree....but the Bible isnt fiction, it is the very TRUTH of God Almighty....and God cannot lie. Try reading it, better still, try searching out its hidden values. Maybe you'd learn something of value. Hidden values...like records played backwards and talking dogs. I found hidden values in my cereal this morning. Love those alphabits! Hey, if you just move the space over, "values in" becomes "value sin"...hidden message or what?

jfields 0 #28 September 16, 2003 Quotebut the Bible isnt fiction, it is the very TRUTH of God Almighty Your opinion. I believe it is fictional. "The Little Engine That Could" is a great book that tells a great tale of triumph over adversity, with great lessons on honesty and perseverance. It is a fictional children's book, a modern day fable. The Bible is longer, with more amazing tales to hold the reader's attention, some sex and violence thrown in, but essentially a fictional work loosely based on a few events of questionably authenticity. It has lots of good lessons and morals, but it is the same, a fable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have your opinion of the world, based on a book. His is based on Alphabits cereal. Both are equally sensible. But his tastes better with milk.

redtwiga 0 #32 September 16, 2003 Quoteits really too bad you dont know what your talking about. Your drivel makes no sense whatever.... Exactly! I could say the same thing about your bible...and I will definitely say it about what that ridiculous woman wrote. Don't take anything as absolute truth, you're bound to be proven wrong. Or accept that everything I say is drivel and ignore my last. Whatever floats your boat. Hell, turn my words into gospel! I've often thought of starting my own religion...make everyone live exactly how I tell them to, isn't that what it's all about? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correction noted. Didn't get to the profile. Sorry about that. Is your Alphabits religion accepting converts? Are the meetings short, or does the cereal get soggy in milk?

Well, apparently he can stretch the truth a bit, and on occasion contradict himself. For example, has anyone seen god? "...

If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering" (Judges 11:30-31). (The lord granted him a victory, and Jephthah then killed and burnt his son as an offering.) How about how we should treat innocent women and children during wartime? Moses: "... Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man by lying with him..." Should followers of the lord launch a jihad against the arabs and kill them and all their children? And Samuel said to Saul, "The Lord sent me to anoint you king over his people Israel; now therefore hark on the words of the Lord. Thus says the Lord of hosts, 'I will punish what Amalek did to Israel in opposing then on the way, when they came out from Egypt. Now go and smite Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass." Should we forgive those who transgress against us? "...thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. " -- Exodus 21:23-25 "...ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." -- Matthew 5:39 Do sons bear the sins of their fathers? "The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father..." -- Ezekiel 18:20 "I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation..." -- Exodus 20:5 And of course there's all those details - the world was covered with water to a depth of 30,000 feet a few thousand years back, killing every living thing that wasn't on the ark. This was shortly after the world was created in seven days, of course. That means that every living human descended from one guy (Noah) which presents some interesting questions about incest. The bible isn't a factual history book. It isn't meant to be. It is the compendium of a faith, a series of stories that explain the basis of a faith shared by a lot of people.
