More like genocidal racist sword swinging lunatics quoting this book (and its remixes) took over the world, the Bible on its own has alot of quirky moments but its not any more harmful than Greek or Roman mythology
That's the way people should view it, but they don't. Mythology rooted in some truth, but large amounts of mythology, nonetheless...

The Bible says we were created in his image, supposedly our idea of right and wrong came from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and he had very human emotions throughout the Bible.

Even God realized he fukked up killing almost everything on earth and promised not to do it again. According to the Christian Bible, he's not done unknowable entity we can't figure out, he operates very simply. If you're his chosen, you can do whatever you want to heretics basically, and if you aren't his people, you don't mean chit. Sounds human to me.

Isn't the entire reason the Bible is read and church is attended to better understand God to follow his way?

"How doth God know? and Is there knowledge in the Most High?"

confuse men beseeching God for God brehs.

@Tair how interesting is Numbers 22 if you assume Balak is the King of Egypt that did not know Joseph :wow:

For fast-food delivery, it is anything but fast: it took more than four hours for the KFC meals to arrive here on a recent afternoon from the franchise where they were cooked in El Arish, Egypt, a journey that involved two taxis, an international border, a smuggling tunnel and a young entrepreneur coordinating it all from a small shop here called Yamama — Arabic for pigeon.

@Marks :youngsabo: realm shifting strength


The gods and mortal humans had arranged a meeting at Mecone where the matter of division of sacrifice between gods and men was to be settled. Prometheus slew a large ox, and divided it into two piles. In one pile he put all the meat and most of the fat, skillfully covering it with the ox's grotesque stomach, while in the other pile, he dressed up the bones artfully with shining fat. Prometheus then invited Zeus to choose; Zeus chose the pile of bones.

Yam's stomach :wow:
"In Egypt, they worship lions, and there is a city called after them. (...) The lions have temples and numerous spaces in which to roam; the flesh of oxen is supplied to them daily (...) and the lions eat to the accompaniment of song in the Egyptian language"

Grammatical oddity in M'lachîm, Part I 19:11
...וַיֹּֽאמֶר צֵא וְעָמַדְתָּ בָהָר לִפְנֵי יְיָ וְהִנֵּה יְיָ עֹבֵר וְרֽוּחַ גְּדוֹלָה וְחָזָק מְפָרֵק הָרִים וּמְשַׁבֵּר סְלָעִים לִפְנֵי יְיָ לֹא בָרֽוּחַ יְיָ
He said: 'Go outside and stand on the mountain'; and wow! Adonay was passing by and a great, strong wind was breaking mountains and shattering boulders in front of Adonay, and yet Adonay was not in the wind...
The noun רוּחַ ('wind') can be either masculine or feminine;
*the first adjective
גְּדוֹלָה is the feminine form of 'great';
the second adjective
חָזָק is the masculine form of 'strong'.

*Hebrew grammar dictates that an adjective must 'agree' with its noun in both number and gender (so that one would expect the masculine declension
גָּדוֹל), but I would suggest the prophet Yîrm'yahu (who wrote the book M'lachîm) used both a feminine (גְּדוֹלָה 'great') and a masculine (חָזָק 'strong') adjective because the noun being described (רוּחַ 'wind') can be of either gender, and perhaps he wanted to symbolize that God's רוּחַ ('wind') can exhibit both attributes: it can be gentle (גְּדוֹלָה, feminine); however, it can also be destructive (חָזָק, masculine).

The anomalous phrase כָּל רַבִּים עַמִּים, which is the REVERSAL of the normal Hebrew word-order placing the adjective רַבִּים before the noun עַמִּים rather than after it (as in proper Hebrew syntax), occurs in T'hîllîm 89:51.

The Ba'al M'tzudot in his 18th-century Biblical
commentary מְצוּדַת צִיּוֹן M'tzudat Tziyyon (which is really just a glossary of difficult words) explains כָּל רַבִּים עַמִּים as being "כְּמוֹ כָּל עַמִּים רַבִּים" (i.e., "like כָּל עַמִּים רַבִּים").

I am reminded of an old joke...

Little Ḥikki's teacher sends for the boy's father because the child has been caught being naughty at school... 'What did he do?', the father asks. 'Well, Mr. Kōhén,' the teacher replies, 'he was caught playing with his genitals!'

'And what is wrong with that?', asks the father, mystified: 'some of my best friends are genitals!!!'

We could have a serious conversation, but a lot of these are out of context or straight incorrect. It's a straight bad faith article from the beginning.
