Priests wonder why people don’t read the Bible, and then they keep spoiling the ending smh
I tried reading it a few times before in my life… but it’s a really boring thing to read, so was never able to get very far.
I began reading it, then got to Numbers, and the endless pages of whomst is related to whom ad nauseum drained the life out of me.
“Behold, 300 people!”
reader: okay
“They’re not important individually.”
reader: so why… ugh
Revelation is the only one I’ve read in its entirety.
All the other books in it are meh. Well except for the one with alien spaceship, that one’s pretty good.
Prose are super flat and stilted, and the dialogue is laughable. 👎
It’s okay he comes back!
Dude!
Remember kids, if you don’t sin, Jesus died for nothing!
He went through all that trouble. May as well use them.
Tbh he probably never read it either. That’s why he believes in it still.
Nah, the issue is that you, when you read a contradiction, conclude one of the premises must be wrong. He will instead believe his understanding of the premises or his logic is wrong.
Or instead: ”No, it says right here in Leviticus 25 that I can keep slaves”
And cut to the missionary doing hard labor
This reminds me of the time the Mormons got pissed at me for asking if the Book of Mormon was a divine footnote.
Spoilers for a 2,000 to 15,000 year old collections of manuscripts.
Readers of the Bible are rarely “christian”
I giggled a bit
Is his death and resurrection actually the climax of the book?
It’s not really a narrative, so doesn’t follow a narrative structure. At most you could consider it an anthology, but even then there’s stuff in there that doesn’t really fit the model. (Though The Iliad also has stuff like the catalogue of ships and an entire book that is just a description of Achilles’ shield, so maybe I’m picking nits by the standards of ancient literature…)
That said, death and resurrection is definitely the climax of several individual books of the new testament.
So he’s got it covered, right? We’re good. Don’t need to worry about it.
Anyway, you wanna do some butt stuff?
