Presumably a lot of people were high as fook when Revelations was written.Like which bits?
probably. it is meant to be metaphorical I believe though and not literalPresumably a lot of people were high as fook when Revelations was written.
Sounds like a pretty bad trip...probably. it is meant to be metaphorical I believe though and not literal
In which case why follow it?probably. it is meant to be metaphorical I believe though and not literal

It's either the word of God and therefore literal, or it isn't.
If it's just a bunch of morality tales how is it any different to the Arabian Nights or the Canterbury Tales? Or even just fairy tales?
well that one book perhaps. i am not a theologist so i have nothing to say on the discussionIn which case why follow it?

Tbf over the years she's had her knockersShe seems a nice person. Did well to survive childhood fame.
Definitely sounds like he was chasing the dragon there.Sounds like a pretty bad trip...
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

Yeah, I would agree.I am not an expert at all in theology by any standards but I did some research on it The Bible is not a series of instructions by God? Its an amalgamation of several different scriptures. Revelations is viewed by some as the writings of an outcasted Christian by the Roman Empire and the mythology is actually a symbolism of the evil of the Empire.
How can it be if he doesnt exist?Yeah, I would agree.
Have met many Christians though over the years, who do believe the Bible is the word of God.

It’s only ever god inspired not god writtenYeah, I would agree.

Especially in English, id have expected Hebrew or at the very least on timescale in LatinIt’s only ever god inspired not god written
It’s daft to think it’s the inerrant word of a supreme creator

Yeah, agree. But what came before God and who created him?The problem is of course most people scoff at the existence of God but as the concept of infinity is also a difficult thing to believe how was the universe formed at all.
Quite and maybe not mostThe problem is of course most people scoff at the existence of God but as the concept of infinity is also a difficult thing to believe how was the universe formed at all.
Our vicar said the other day that the bible doesn’t start at the beginning of time which was interesting as if the world and universe was already thereYeah, agree. But what came before God and who created him?

Infinity isn't hard to believe but it's hard for the human mind to comprehend it, hence God (a man-made concept) was created to explain it.The problem is of course most people scoff at the existence of God but as the concept of infinity is also a difficult thing to believe how was the universe formed at all.
You an atheist or agnostic sb?Infinity isn't hard to believe but it's hard for the human mind to comprehend it, hence God (a man-made concept) was created to explain it.
I always considered myself agnostic but leaning more towards atheist these days.You an atheist or agnostic sb?
That’s interestingI always considered myself agnostic but leaning more towards atheist these days.
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being low, how disrespectful would you say it was to use a page from a Gideon's Bible to roll a spliff
*if the shops were shut and you have no Rizlas does it knock a point or two off?
(asking for a friend)
I'd say it's a fair bit more religious than the UK and the Church still has a lot of power...even though officially it's supposed to be a secular country, which is laughable.That’s interesting
Is Italy very religious or similar to the uk?

But which of the approximate 3000 gods created the world? Surely it was only 1? Or all? Or none? How are there so many all-knowing creators? Did they all create the world for their own followers? They all just happened to create the same world and put all their different followers in different locations? What if a King (Henry 8th) created a religion and not a God? Does that religion still have a god? Or did god condemn any followers of the king to hell? Where is hell? Because if that's to be believed, heaven is an outer space, other worldly place. Whereas hell is the fires within the earth's crust. If that's true, then we're all much closer to hell than we are heaven?The problem is of course most people scoff at the existence of God but as the concept of infinity is also a difficult thing to believe how was the universe formed at all.
Oh no, this needs a whole new thread on its own. Fascinating stuff that nobody,scientists, religion cannot fathom outYeah, agree. But what came before God and who created him?
which of the approximate 3000 gods...
God's dad?Yeah, agree. But what came before God and who created him?
