[after preaching about the infallibility of the bible and then admitting he hasn't read most of it]
I'm being berated here. I have read the Bible but not the whole thing from begining to end. I do have a job you know. I read parts of chapters and verses and canont remmeber eveyrthing. It's ahrd when you've got to keep runing around all day.

Chuck, I'm a busy man, so I'm gonna need you to put together a report for the Friday meeting on God's unerring will and law. And Chuck, the shareholders are gonna be watching so I'm gonna need you to overemphasize the sins of homosexuality and abortion - you know, the easy targets - and deemphasize lying and greed. Anything you might find yourself committing by accident. I'll need an abstract on my desk Thursday before five.
"Word for word," PSOTAS? Which word would that be? The portion that advocates tolerance for other religions, or the one that instructs the faithful to slaughter those who reject Allah? (I haven't read the Koran, but I have seen passages quoted that reinforce these opposite positions.) The Koran is no more consistent than the Bible, so its fundies cannot escape hypocrisy either if they "live their lives" in constant contradiction of ANY tenet of it.
Hm. I've not read the Quran, but considering it goes back to the sayings of a single individual and was redacted to its final form in about a century, it would be amazing if it wasn't a tad more consistent than the Bible.
It is a book no bigger than a standard science book which takes no more than a few days to read. It was written by folks short of 2000 years ago who had no more than a 3rd grade education. Are you really reading or do you keep spacing out?
"I have read the Bible but not the whole thing from begining to end."
It's sad, most christians have never read most of the bible, and what's worse, they don't even understand what they have read. They just believe what they do for the sake of convenience. As for the infallibility of the bible; why don't we just take any book, like, green eggs and ham, and say that it's from god and infallible? And since we're just picking books to make infallible, why don't we pick one that makes a little more sense than the bible, the principia discordia? Seems the logical thing to do, at least as far as christianity is concerned.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
