I've read a lot of answers to theological questions that simply say "Read the Bible", as though that is a solution to something. I tried it just now, out of curiosity. Starting from the beginning, I got as far as Genesis 8. Normally I enjoy reading fantasy, but I found the writing style rather bland. Was there a point?

Then I thought maybe I was supposed to open the bible randomly and start reading, so I read chapter 10 of Nehemiah; it was a long list of people who decided to become bigots, and take a vacation every 7 years. It's not that this isn't fascinating, but why would this be beneficial to me unless I really needed that particular piece of information?

Is it possible that people don't really mean "read the bible"? Instead, maybe what they mean is "Accept my personal interpretation of whatever part of the bible I think is relevant to the current topic." Another way of saying the same thing would be "I'm right, deal with it." If that is what someone means, why not just say so?

Adam and Eve were born pure until they ate from the tree of knowledge and became sinful resulting in the rest of humans being born with sin. Why would god then allow his son to die for our sins if we were sinful and continue to be sinful? It seems a pointless and purposeless exercise that has not eradicated the sin. What does the crucification of christ prove?

Why do shower farts smell so bad? Is it the humidity or because the space is so small? One day, my mom and my brother both farted when we were in the shower and it stunk so bad my sister threw up!

Because I've been having strange accourences around my house (which is haunted) where I get the sensation of being pinched, slapped, and scratched right before I'm dozing off to sleep and when I wake up, I come to find that I have horrible scars and marks and what not in the exact same places on my body where I felt the sensations!

By fundamental I mean people who believe there is only one God, that you should be saved, original sin etc.. There seems to be such a lot of people with these convictions here. No offense, I'm only curious.

I'm reading the book, and I can't decide if I think it's true or not... the whole Mary Magdaline and Jesus being married and having kids and that there are decendants of Jesus here today.. I can't decide. What are your thoughts?

They say that if we don't do this, that, and the other we'll go to Hell and roast for the rest of Eternity. Well, should a person have to suffer because everyone who has ever tried to give them 'directions' for getting into Heaven has sounded like they needed their head examined? Is it fair that a guy is scared away by the average modern Christian and the average modern Preacher that don't bitmore seem to know what they're talkin' 'bout then the Man in the Moon should recieve eternal damnation???

There are a lot of people that are atheists simply because the average Christian sounds like a babbling idiot. Should they have to suffer for that? Even worse, there are a lot of people that will go to Hell because, though they thought they were a Christian, they were actually given the wrong directions by an arrogant old man that is too Prideful to admit that his interpretation may be wrong. Is that fair??

What do you think about all of this?

I am tired of that discription being used. That is a discription of the god Pan except for the tail and wings. I refuse to accept that Pan is the devil, he is the god of shepards, flocks and general good times. Can ANY christian give me the exact bible passage that discribes Lucifer in this manner? I think not. How about it?
