You are the tard who thinks strikethrough makes the facts go away. those aren't "facts" they're delusions It is a fact that a large portion of the stories date to the bronze age, or thereabouts. It is a fact that the method of relaying the information contained in the stories is via mythic language aka Joseph Campbell (hero's journey, archetypal characters etc.) It is a fact that some people believe these writing to be literal. It is a fact that there are those who attempt to push policy based on the ideas presented in this book. It is a fact that there are those who attempt to regulate another persons life based on this book. It is a fact that the younger generations are moving farther and farther away from bronze age religions et all in the western world. You may disagree with me, and that is fine and dandy but you do not get to say these are not facts. In the words of Trump denying that the above is factual information is "WRONG!" >literal Untrue. In pre-literate cultures symbolism, allegory and metaphor were well understood. Hard "facts" were less important than the meaning or the lesson conveyed. Literal and analytic thinking is a product of the post-enlightenment West. People raised in the West outside of genuine spiritual practice cannot understand symbolic or non-linear thought. This is why they reject esoteric texts as 'nonsense' too. |

simplify User ID: 75394427 Canada 04/20/2018 05:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | San Francisco Church to Hold Beyoncé Mass; Pastor Insists 'We're Following in the Way of Jesus' Quoting: Goofy for God [link to www.christianpost.com (secure)] featuring songs from the pop star that congregation members will be invited to sing along to, and one of its pastors is insisting that the event goes hand in hand with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Just wow we do not know what is happening I seriously doubt that she is a Christian? According to some info, she & Jay Z are Satanists. I wonder if she will be dressed modestly to perform or in her usual garb, half naked. |

The bible did not exist in the time of Jesus. But, treasured books of high minded experts who were not of his knowing, and whom he mocked in the temple as a boy, did exist. They were not called bibles, or were they? |

Not surprising when you get your news from the LYING retards at AON. California Assembly Bill (A.B.) 2943 has nothing to do with Bibles and/or the sale of Bibles. It is about preventing retarded thumpers from doing immeasurable psychological damage to others by forcing them into “sexual orientation change efforts” (SOCE) (aka gay-conversion therapy) In short, it would not allow anyone to advertise gay-conversion therapy or perform the abhorrent practice for profit. It's already illegal to do so on children in California. The law wouldn't prevent the sale of any books or written materials or prevent people from speaking about gay-conversion therapy. It WOULD make it illegal for pastors and other religious 'professionals' from hiding behind their belief system to damage people psychologically for profit by performing gay-conversion therapy for a fee, as the law would not limit the prohibition to licensed mental health professionals. Under the law, gay-conversion therapy is defined as "any practices by mental health providers that seek to change an individual’s sexual orientation. This includes efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions, or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same sex.” So California xitians can buy and sell Bibles to their hearts' content, they just charge money to try to convert the gays nor can they advertise their gay-conversion services. If someone in California wants to be converted from gay to straight, I guess they can just go to another state. Isn't that what you guys always say about abortion being a state's right issue? Honestly, I think that the law as it's written is legislative overreach - if adults want to spend their money to pay someone to try to convince them to like junk other than the junk they were born with, that should be their right. But to write that California is trying to ban the sale of Bibles is not just inaccurate, it's libelous. |

Childrens bible too. :) Demons want to get cute they don't know where they're treading...they might roll around in it but it is our mud they're playing in. Try to heard those with the Holy Spirit in there to pay for the fallen there. Concentrations of wealth and "demons just wanna have fun". They (fallen) show up in pittsburgh but it's not their preferred destination. It should be but they might lose their heads. :) GRACE of Jesus Christ and his FATHER GOD with all humans with the Holy Spirit. We pray against the evil (both sides) ones and their actions. |
