Castiel233 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Given that The Bible promises that most people are going to Hell, Given that The Bible teaches that God likes killing people, that Jesus talks in riddles, that we cannot be saved if God doesn't want us in Heaven....given these things, how dare Christians call The Bible the "Good" book and the threats of Jesus and his dad "Good" news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhim Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Excellent points. I'm still waiting to hear why Christianity is associated with "family values" despite that Jesus began his ministry by grabbing several youths from their parents, prompting generations of Christian missionaries until the present day to do the same.

Castiel233 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 I don’t get the Christian family values stance either. The Bible is hostile to the family, Jesus spoke rudely to his mother, and humans are instructed to abandon their families. Virginity is praised as a greater virtue than marriage. As the church used to uphold these “values” and encourage them, one wonders how this modern interpretation of Christian family values has taken hold in people who should dread their Bibles and know better.

RipVanWinkle Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Why do they call it the good book"? Because they don't know what the bible says; they only know what their preacher says the bible says. And he says it's the ''good book". Most Xtians think that are humble folks, too. Yet they "know" their god is real because they feel it in their hearts. They know it by their emotions. So, when a sane person says to them that adherents of virtually all other religions say they feel the same way about their god, the Xtian responds by saying that adherents of other religions are either lying or deceived. In other words, everyone who believes in a god or gods is deceived or crooked, except for them. Nothing arrogant about that, is there? bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
