[I grew up Catholic, and I used to really believe in, and love Jesus with all my cute little heart.

Then I learned that Dinosaurs were real, and that there's no air inside a fish's stomach for 3 days, and that actual manuscripts from hundreds of independent sources in actual biblical times, don't seem to recall any of it happening, anywhere.

No real proof Jesus was born or ever existed at all, much less whether or not mum was a virgin.

Seems to be astrology based actually. Has to do with stars, and the seasons, and the ancient calender. A circle, with twelve months, and a cross splitting the seasons. Death is the winter, rebirth is the spring.

I do hope reading stuff like that burns your eyes a little. It's not really your eyes, it's your brain choking on Jesus and being rendered unable to process the information.

One last thing, typing in all caps is bad manners on the internet. It's not pantomime for yelling. The first thing people think when they see it, is 'what an asshat'.]

YOU ARE THE WORSE OF THE BAD MANNERS ON THIS SITE.

LESS MY SPIRTUAL EYES ARE OPEN WIDER THAN YOURS.

Jacob wrestle with a Angel.

Those Dinosaurs are the giant versions of the animals of today.

Ignoring the rest of his brain-diarrhea, I'm going to just address this part:

"Those Dinosaurs are the giant versions of the animals of today."

I'm assuming he's going by Hovind's "theory" that the reptiles of today are the descendants of dinosaurs. First of all, wouldn't that have to mean that they *gasp* evolved? But yet when you tell them that the living descendants of dinosaurs are actually birds they go all batshit and proceed to pull out the old strawmen arguments against evolution. So they believe in evolution, only to them it's not evolution? And to top it all off, the evolution that they do believe in is actually complete bullshit. Man, what world are these people from?

I agree with Brian-sama. As I've said in another one of LoneWolf's quotes, his pictures are so cheesy and some of them very creepy. I'm with everyone who's saying that he's probably mentally handicapped. He doesn't seem to have any shame about drawing and posting these pictures on the internet. It's not because he's a 'free spirit' and doesn't care what people think, It's more like he doesn't really KNOW any better. I don't think he understands that people are weirded out by his unhealthy fetish of cartoon characters. So if he isn't just doing this for the laughs, then he's more likely retarded. And I don't mean retarded as an insult. I mean actually retarded.

Obviously you drew the wrong conclusion from it.
Instead of drawing the conclusion that therefore earth must be older than your biblical accounts (meaning that dinosaurs were extinct when humans appeared) and that maybe these stories in the bible are just stories, that only occasionally describe real historic events, in contrast to well researched scientific theories, you concluded that the biblical stories were real, maybe because they were easier to understand for your little mind ;)

I feel a little weird posting on this site when something like this comes up, because I'm NOT an atheist. I'm a (technically practicing but very reformed) Jew. And it bothers me how much these fundamentalists focus on the literal aspect of the "bible" (or torah). Stop debating about whether dinosaurs are "giant versions" of a modern species. What about viewing the torah as a collection of probably not true (obviously not true in some cases) highly exaggerated stories that each help to teach a moral? And yes, there are parts of the torah that don't make sense, and that are cruel and unreasonable, but really it was written by men and give a man an influential document he can't help but slip in his own beliefs in a couple of places.

My parshat was on "Jacob wrestle with a angel" and my D'var Torah was on Jacob's transformation from an egocentric and self-serving slightly sadistic personality to a self-aware, humble, and compassionate person through encounters with god and those he has hurt in the past.

For all the times you've read your "bible", have you ever actually stopped to think about it other than how you're going to defend it or hurt someone with it?

And lastly, shouldn't you be focusing more on your own spiritual experience or connection with god than worshipping a book?

@Eden:
That seems to be part of what he was responding to. Also, there is SOME truth in the Bible. For instance, King Herod, Governor Quirinius, and Governor Pontius Pilate were 1st-century figures with those titles (Pontius Pilate was so cruel that he was sentenced to exile for excessive brutality), John the Baptist did exist and was really executed, although the bible is at best VERY naive about why, Jerusalem really was razed to the ground ("prophesied" AFTER it occurred ("retrophesied"?)), and there really was a Barrabas (described as mentally impaired) whose treatment by local bullies (being mocked and adorned with crown of thorns and a 'king of jews' placard) is very similar to Jesus' treatment in part of the New Testament near where Barrabas is mentioned, and crucifiction under Pilate was, even to the Romans, unacceptably common and by his edict a lot of what Jesus is said to have done was punishable by summary crucifiction.
Whoever wrote the story of Jesus' trial evidently had no idea of the structure of government there or that Pilate had so incompetently managed the situation that he was resorting to summary crucifiction to keep order.
