It is very funny and quite disturbing how many Christians have no idea about how the Bible was created…
I am not even talking about who wrote the texts, that is a whole other mess, I am simply talking about how the Bible was created.
Many people treat it as the word of God, but it isn’t, it is a collection of texts written by many different authors.
The texts that makes up the Bible were selected by a committee.
Just imagine you being part of a committee at work to create the companies next big product, this was a similar process.
The committee members all had their own agendas and motives for selecting specific texts that supported their own politics and their own views.
In the end we ended up with a weirdly written, contradictory work open to interpretation that is supposed to be treated as fact.
If you think about it logically, it proves nothing more than the existence of a vivid imagination and a thriving fan community.
It doesn’t disprove the existence of a god, but it clearly does not prove it either.
Many know all that. They simply say god guided their hand.
Ah, you see, all those authors, translators, editors, and indeed committee members were influenced and guided by god to ensure the true word of god was passed down. The fact that different versions don’t agree with each other is neither here nor there.
In the end we ended up with a weirdly written, contradictory work open to interpretation that is supposed to be treated as fact.
Ah, um, it’s… yes, it’s all part of god’s plan. God works in mysterious ways, you know. Yes, that’s bound to be it…part of the plan, mysterious ways, etc.
There was once a group who staked out a particular section of city street and would just approach people and repeatedly shout “JESUS!” at them, as if to glitch them into converting. I did wonder what their success rate was.
Date and I drove past a spray painted sign in the country that merely said, “JESUS”.
“What is that sign supposed to do? Jesus! My homeboy! Forgot all about him!”
She was cracking up and now I think that every time I pass that sign.
pretty sure these types are just looking for some physical altercation, someone is filming em from nearby to either sue the shit out of you or otherwise have video for some ragebait narrative they’re selling somewhere
I used to have a friend who was extremely skilled at this technique. He would put together an argument so nonsensical that despite being obviously false, nobody could possibly even begin to know how to start refuting any of it. If you challenged one point, he would use three other false yet logical statements to defend it.
That’s when I would interrupt the person with, “stop, you’ve made your claims, now it is my turn to talk and address each point you made.” And if they refuse to stop, I go with this: “Since you refuse to let me speak, this conversation is over.” And I walk away.
They also don’t like it when I start taking notes on their key points and start calling them out on contradictions.
But if you walk away, you lose.
No. Having a debate requires both parties to actually listen to each other’s arguments/talking points. When one party refuses to listen, it is no longer a debate. By constantly interrupting, they demonstrate they were never there to have a debate/conversation, but were only there to preach.
Oh no, it was never a debate. It was a game, and he only did it to shut people up.
This tactic is known as a Gish Gallop
I can’t even imagine how this kind of conversation would go in real life.

“In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am englightened by my intelligence.”
