What if Shakespeare had written...

You know this is the #1 reason people refuse to read the Bible. But if they don't read it how can they say it's full of contradictory things. Please give me one contradictory thing you have found in the Bible and we'll discuss after that.

And if you read the fist book of the Bible, you'll see the blood line of Adam spoken this way: "At age ## he had a son by the name of @@@@@ and he had many sons and daughters. He lived to be of ### years. @@@@@ took in mariage $$$$$$ and at age ## had a son by the name **** and had many sons and daughters. He lived to be of ### years old. ***** married ^^^^^ .... and it goes like that for almost a hundred people, alway showing the line trough the first born boy in the family.
Could it be that the phrase "sons and daughters" is a fatherly figure as well???

If it would be just symbolism it would have died long ago, and wouldn't have been followed 2000 years after the last book by 2 billion people on the planet. There must be something more than just symbolism, and I call it The Word of God.
By the way what 20th century book do you follow in blind faith.

Considering the many people that wrote the Bible trough a span of 2000 years it's another testimony about the fact that the Bible is not just a symbolism. Shakspeare would have died long before geting trough half of the Bible. It would have sounded differently though.

That's my point:

I don't. I don't follow anything in blind faith. I don't trust the Catholic Church anymore. And it has to do with personal experiences. I never got raped, but a priest tried to warp my mind.

You're also trying to give the "2 Billion Christians Can't Be Wrong!" School of thought to my belief.

I have read The Bible (Not the entire thing, but many parts). Have you read The Code Of Hammurabi or the Torah? What makes the bible more important than them or the Koran?

You claim it's the "Word Of God". Did God write it? Or were writers "inspired" by him? They could have as easily been "inspired" by booze or hallucinogens. But you never questioned it, no? Probably because you were raised to say your prayers, right?

I've found out from my years of Catholic schooling (and from one drunken Franciscan) that religion can be used as a grip, or a scare tactic, if you will, to keep people following.

Contradictory?

*Looks at replies in the thread*

*Look at original post*

Where did it all go wrong?

Let's see if I can bring it back on track, though I doubt it.

Matt : Thou's emotions took over. Thou almost put his own plug into a socket for thou heart's deepest temptations.

This is from 40 Days and 40 Nights, the quote is almost unrecognizable and the movie probably isn't as mainstream as Batman. I guess I will post original quote as well.

Matt : I almost f*ck*d an outlet today.

And one more from Batman

The Joker: Thou wonders, where those thee get such intriguing devices?
