Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters wants 55k Bibles for schools, and says the Trump Bibles are the only ones that qualify.

Are you capable of doing anything other than emoting, ever?

Seriously, can you point to a single subject where you've ever shown that you even put 60 seconds of concentrated thought into your reply, much less any actual study or research? Or do you literally just emote at everything you see?

you claim that god takes the time to interfere with our lives on an individual level, right? by answering prayers?

yet he just sat back and let his word get b*stardized by a bunch of english cacs? make it make sense

 

[True Blue Moon]

It is insane the grip that Donald Trump has on the Republican party.

It's one thing to be a Republican, conservative, shyt, even a white supremacist. But the amount of unequivocal dikk riding for one man is sickening

This man can do literally anything and these people aren't wavering

I actually claim that God largely lets us face the consequences of our own free will. Can you post where I've ever suggested that he exerts some sort of continuous mind control that would prevent people from writing whatever they wanted to?

Like I said, have you EVER voiced an opinion that was based on actual research or study you'd done, rather than whatever you wanted to emote in the moment? This is why you constantly accuse me of positions I don't hold and why you never, ever quote me saying the things you claim I've said.

I believe the over/under on your uninformed/ignorant positions for today was 37.5. You're definitely going to hit the over unless you stop posting within the next five minutes.

you believe that the noah's ark story actually happened

Nah this predates Trump by a lot this is Reagan era shyt

 

[Professor Emeritus]

you believe that the noah's ark story actually happened

I said just days ago that I don't believe that. Never have. All you had to do was a 5 second search and you would have figured that out.

I've said multiple times tonight that you CONSTANTLY spew ignorant and uninformed statements because you're too lazy to do otherwise. And you keep proving me right.

so there are fake stories in the bible. glad we've established that

 

[Windows 91]

This is what I imagine North Korea is like.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Yes, there are parables and myths in every moral and philosophical tradition. When Plato spoke of the cave, did you think he meant a real cave?

Adam & Eve, the creation myths (both of them), and Noah's Ark are all pretty clearly myth to me and not based on historical reality. You should be able to deduce that just from the fact that the Bible starts off with two completely different creation myths (Genesis 1 and Genesis 2), which contradict each other. Everything in Genesis 1-10 is told in a mythological literature format, not in a historical literature format, and appears meant to relate tales explaining who God is and who people are and how things got this way in a story-telling sense. Nowhere in those books is there any claims of witnesses, or explanation for how someone would know these things happen, or testimony that this information was given to the writer by God, or anything like that. Just like Native American creation myths, it's a storytelling device meant to explain truths of our human nature and God's nature, not historical reality.

Beyond Genesis 1-10, it's pretty clear to me that Jonah and Job are told in that mythological story-telling format as well, with no claims to historical truth. I'm ambivalent on Daniel.

You've surpassed the over now and the bets will be collected.

so you're more like an ashamed christian. most christians say it's factual from front to back

you know that it's a storybook, but you can't let go of the whole "needing an invisible father figure" part

 

[Professor Emeritus]

I don't base my beliefs on populism, that's you. Why would you think something is true just because the majority believe it, when a majority of people are uninformed on most deep issues? Theologians have been documented saying that the early stories of Genesis are allegorical rather than literal for nearly as long as Christian theology has existed, going back at least to Augustine if not earlier.

In fact, right now only about 20% of Christians say that the Bible is literally true from front to back. In fifty years of Gallup polling, that number has never been above 40%.

Fewer in U.S. Now See Bible as Literal Word of God

Coinciding with a general decline in religiosity in the U.S., a record-low 20% of Americans now say they believe the Bible is literally true.

How many more ignorant, uninformed statements are you going to make tonight? You keep proving my prophecy correct.

I became a Christian as an adult and I already had a father.

 

[the cac mamba]

I became a Christian as an adult

most people become christians at the same age they're gullible enough to believe in santa claus. same method, too

but you, as a grown ass man, decided to suddenly believe there's a magic jewish zombie, sitting in the clouds with his dad, watching everything you do. even knowing that humans have created a thousand other gods throughout history, most of who turned out to be busts and fables

how embarrassing

 

[Taharqa]

Technically wouldn't the trump bible be blasphemous?

Also the founding fathers, who they look up to so much, do not mentioned Christianly at all in the constitution. Quite sure it was officially brought up in the treaty of Tripoli and even then they state the US is not founded on the christian faith.

Makes ya think a bit
