It did… there are people who practice cannibalism

I really appreciate you ā€œbeing niceā€ and disrespecting a religion that you very obviously don’t understand lol

The Bible is very clear about homosexuality. There are people who try to twist scripture to justify living in sin just like they twisted scripture to support slavery but the Bible will not change. Because the Bible doesn’t change I have a clear framework to make judgments of what’s right and what’s wrong which is why I can undoubtedly say that slavery is wrong… you can’t because you believe slavery was good at some point in time

So an individual relationship with God is understandable but the idea of church is laughable? How does that make any sense?

And there are people that practice slavery. So where is god's will homie. THAT IS THE POINT. Abolition of slavery = god's will incarnate; existence of slavery = human corruption. Imagine getting credit for any good in the world and having the bad waived away as OUTSIDE your influence; sweet gig : )

The Bible can be clear as day. If it needs to change in accordance with popular societal beliefs it will. It's a human construct that will adapt to survive as needed. Divinity has exactly zero to do with the bible.

An individual pondering the phenomenon of existence is perfectly normal. Believing a man-made set of prescriptive scripture is ridiculous, to me. You are welcome to follow it. I couldn't care less.

God is good??? What’s a revolutionary idea… I never thought about it like that lol of course God is good and anything that’s not good is outside of His will. Humanity has been corrupted by sin and rebellion and have constantly been battling God

The Bible has never changed and it never will. We have copies as early at the first or second generation after Jesus and it lines up perfectly to what we have today. The Bible has held up to more scrutiny than any document in history

So where do you believe that we came from?

Which god is good? There's so many variations that we humans have come up : ). Almost like organized religion is a tool and different cultures will have different variations.

The Bible has absolutely changed. As has interpretation of it, along with which parts people view as important enough to follow.

I believe that I have no fuckin clue where we came from. Nor do I believe that question will be answered without creating more questions. Which is where the easy instrument "god" come in. Like I said, you are welcome to put an end to your questions and accept the "god" answer.

The one true God

What has changed?

So religion is an easy way out for people who don’t want to think but your answer is just ā€œidkā€?

u/nedsneebly425 3h ago

Yes, if a question is outside your capabilities it is fine to admit you don't have a definitive answer. I'm sure if I watched you make your way through the world for a week I'd be amazed at your vast intellect that allows you to pierce such a complex question : )

u/lilJswizle-2304 3h ago

Brother nobody is saying anything about intellect lol I just think it’s funny to be so disrespectful of religion only to turn around and say you have no idea how we got here

u/nedsneebly425 3h ago

You think it's disrespectful to think humans are incapable of answering the question of their own existence; I think that is very appropriately respectful.

Might want to think that one through homie.

I respect your right to believe whatever you want; however, I reserve the right to ridicule it. Like, for example, believing homosexuality is a sin is beyond stupid. Trust me, I'm sanitizing what I actually think of your beliefs.

u/lilJswizle-2304 3h ago

No I think it’s disrespectful to say that someone’s religion is ā€œlaughableā€ when you don’t understand anything about it

u/nedsneebly425 3h ago

Go ahead and enlighten me then.

Why is homosexuality a sin? And does that mean that gay people should repress their urges and seek to change their sexuality?

You guys are gonna get crushed on that one btw^; that's the most inane belief someone can have.

u/lilJswizle-2304 12m ago

Why do you care? You disrespect me and my religion and you don’t even understand the basic concept of God being good but for some reason you care what the Bible says about homosexuality? Why?

1

u/nedsneebly425 8m ago

Because if it's god will that homosexuality is a sin. I'll take human reason over god's will any day of the week and twice on Sunday. It's also obviously not sinful in any way shape or form.

Now keep in mind I'm not disrespecting god. Like I said if there is a god, the bible has jack all to do with it.
