People that claim to have intellectual problems with the Bible really just have sin problems.

But if you don't believe in God, how can you sin?
Thinking = Sinning, and you wonder why we have problems with your religion?
ZOMG, Saved-By-Grace, you've expos3d mee!!! LOL
I'll see you in Hell though, since all fundies eventually commit a sin they don't repent of. Haha.
I dunno, I'd be willing to bet you that most people here, and certainly most atheists are doing a good job at keeping with your seven laws of the sons of Noah.
Oh, were you unaware of those? Because you know the Jews (you know, those guys you took the religion from?) will generally tell you that as long as you're a good person God's cool with you, and the Noahide laws are basically about being a good person.
In fact, those same Jews are generally pretty accepting of all those people you say your god hates, and to think, their section of your bible has a lot more of the wrathful god stuff.
Maybe the next time you snatch a religion away and rewrite it, you should bother to actually learn about it.
People who have intellectual problems with the Bible are, well, intelligent.
Oh, and sin? It doesn't exist.
O RLY? Then bats are birds and insects and spiders have only four legs...
Yeah, that has to do with a lot of sin...
I don't have a sin problem! I can quit anytime I want! I just don't feel like it right now...
Can any of you help a guy out with some spare change so I can myself hooked up with some sin? You'd be saving my life.
Sure, St Thomas of Aquinas and Berkley had sin problems because it sticks out a mile that snakes speak all the time, that women appear from nowhere to be wives, that guys live 900 years, that we come from a principle called clay..............
Yeah, it couldn't possibly be because the Babble directly contradicts itself multiple times, with no satisfactory explanation given.
'Atheists are just Christians who want to sin as much as possible.'
This is what is called an "Ad Hominem" attack.
I'd say something about the intellect of this person, but I don't want to stoop to their level.
And according to your holy text, SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE.
SO that's not such a clever thing to say, is it?
I think he means they have SKIN problems. Well, I developed eczema last year, but around the time I found this site, it started getting better. The devil musta done it...
People that claim to have intellectual problems with the Bible really just have intelligent minds and the common sense to tell the difference between the factual and the allegorical.
From Proverbs 1:5-7
"That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel: to understand a proverb, and parables, the words and riddles of the wise....But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction."
Here's something for you. I'm having a little problem with this passage:
[font=palatino linotype]"Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up." Hosea 13:16[/font]
I kinda think it's wrong to smash infants to death and kill expecting mothers.
Guess that's my sin problem then?
So just asking simple questions is "sin" now?
For example, asking the very simple question whether bats are mammals or birds? The bible says bats are birds ...
Honestly: "Saved-By-Grace" post shows beyond doubt that we are dealing with a cult here. ALL cults have one central principle: No questions about doctrine is allowed. Even the mere thought of doubting the doctrine is a grave sin.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
