Thomas Jefferson Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 I still think these are some of the finest words ever written in the English language: And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. Luke 6:31 God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 1 John 4:16 Simple statements yet they say more than we could ever learn in a life time.
Thomas Jefferson Posted November 3, 2013 Author Posted November 3, 2013 I like this one as well: Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? John 11:25-26 I don't necessarily believe the content of this one but it's very beautifully structured prose, like poetry.
Ron Burgandy Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 I guess the first quote is rather dependant on whether you are taking a shower in prison or not.
Thomas Jefferson Posted November 3, 2013 Author Posted November 3, 2013 I much prefer this... Oh, a crude Atheist mocking religion. How original and invigorating.
manxman1980 Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 I much prefer this... Oh, a crude Atheist mocking religion. How original and invigorating. You have to admit that some of the references are spot on... Genesis 6 5:7 "5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. 6And the Lord was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. 7So the Lord said, ‘I will blot out from the earth the human beings I have created—people together with animals and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them." You must agree that this is a lovely message. (And if you want to be really p*ssed off try this... )
Mr. Sausages Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Still one of the best websites ever made by God. http://www.thebricktestament.com/home.html

You must agree that this is a lovely message. I don't know why you think it's not a lovely message. It's simply taking a real historical deluge and applying a moral causality to it. Most of the pre-abrahamic sections of Genesis are kabbalistic creation myths, certainly not to be taken at face value.
Lonan3 Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 I much prefer this... Excellent. More sense from Minchin than all the dog-collared dickheads put together
Gladys Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 The Bible is full of quotable quotes. Best one is 'if thine eye offends thee, smote it out'. In other words, get a grip.

Thomas Jefferson Posted November 3, 2013 Author Posted November 3, 2013 Excellent. More sense from Minchin than all the dog-collared dickheads put together That's not exactly a big achievement.
manxman1980 Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Excellent. More sense from Minchin than all the dog-collared dickheads put together That's not exactly a big achievement. And yet you place value in a book that has been amended "god" knows how many times over the years to suit the Church/Monarch?
Gladys Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Sorry, should be pluck it out. Got me smotes and plucks mixed up.
