And witchcraft is clearly mentioned in The Bible. Practicing it is an abomination. That shit is like the fuckin' Devil's work. C-Blue's speed. Lol. It's meant to inflict harm on other people. All that Voodoo shit.

The got damn Bible is like a history book. It states factual accounts. Please don't deny this. You don't need a book, no, to start pondering if there's a God. Look at life. Wonder, troll prince, wonder.

A history book? Lol.......obviously some parts of the bible are based on actual events. The writers drew on their own experiences and what they knew. I agree that Roman mythology is good shit. So is.the bible. Contains a lot of interesting stuff and is definitely a good read. But that doesn't mean it makes a lick of actual sense. Because guess what, so called Roman mythology is based on actual events as well. Probably not the minotaurs, but the cities, definitely. Troy was a real city. Reading the bible like a history book is stupid, because we know stuff in there that obviously didn't happen. Noah's ark? Simply not possible.

Exactly, they drew on their own experiences and what they knew, exactlyyyyy.
Wait. How does The Bible not make actual sense? Now that sounds crazy. If it DIDN'T make sense, it wouldn't BE what it is today.
Noah's ark? Simply not possible? Yeah that's what they said about parting an ocean. Until Science did a study saying it IS possible. So maybe God's plan WAS Science like M Dogg said from the jump.

Does Greek mythology make sense to you? I'm assuming the answer is no. Greek mythology also draws on actual events. How come you don't believe in it?
How in the world do you come to the conclusion something must be completely true because it contains actual events? Its like if I wrote a fictional book about some guy who was in the Iraq war and everyone started calling it fact. Does that make sense to you?
and lol at you making up scientifical studies.
Look, You can believe in god, you can believe there was a spark of life, you can believe that the universe was around forever, it doesn't really matter. But all this shit about a book that was written by men that describes completely unrealistic events is what I'm calling into question. Its illogical. That's all I'm saying. Believe in it all you want, just admit that its an illogical conclusion to come to.

Enlighten me on this so-called scientific study of parting the ocean. Better yet, direct me to a peer reviewed source if possible?
QT, I've read some of your posts and truth be told, I'm not even interested in proving or disproving your faith in god. However, as an Adjunct Professor of Middle Eastern Studies, I have to point out that some of your understanding of biblical history is false from a scholarly perspective.
I'd be happy to put you onto some acclaimed scholarship on such matters. In order to fully understand and appreciate what you're reading in the bible, grasping the Historiography is key. If you're unfamiliar with Historiography, think of it as the behind-the-scenes of history. There's history, and then there's the behind-the-scenes of what made it history. Does that make sense?
Again, my approach is scholarly by nature. I've no interest in debating it from a faith-based perspective. Objectivity is key.
Fraxxx:
^^^ It was the Red Sea not an ocean (I thought he knew the bible ;D) and there are different scientific approaches to explain it. Which one QT means would indeed be interesting.
QuietTruth:
^ Read a fuckin' Thesaurus.
The Bible is the greatest book ever written. Ever. Fact.
This was NOT what I saw. But it's close. And all I could find. I really saw the Red Sea thang on another History Channel show during Armageddon week. Shit ain't on the internet though. I don't see it anyway.
