How so?

I don't see why homosexuality is advised about, though. =o

Edit: You can't point to one thing on there that is not true. It is not saying "The Bilble is pornography and should not be read" It is just a funny thing for people who are religious and have actually read the book, and not jsut been forced to go to church.

::Black Van drives up and grabs Waffuru, who is knocked out with chlorofoam before he knows whats happened::

Acolyte dials his cell, "Pope, we picked up the flour from the store, there will be fresh waffles in the vatican by morning. Would you like your batter beaten or poured?"

"No need for voilence, bring him to me poured." ::Sith Lord laugh heard before phone disconnects::

Misleading? Damn...you people are missing the point. Its a JOKE. Want to here a clean joke? A white horse fell in the mud. Not funny.

It's off color, its a little racy, its not the norm, and that makes in amusing. If you take that seriously as a condmenation of Christianity you missed the point entirely.

The Bible is the single most influential literary work in history. The idea of 'psychological warfare' was developed by the story of Jericho, tons of the great pieces of literature allude to it, and a battle in World War I was won by the British because of a verse in Sammuel I beleive that mentioned a sectret passage that they used to surround the Ottomans.

That sticker shows that the Bible is not 'Adam and Eve, then a Flood, a guy parting water, more boring stuff, and someoen important being born and dying.'

That book is infinitly more then a religious work, it has served as a military manual, inspiration for most of the Renasaince, and a full of symbolism as to how to live your life.

Picture=Funny. Lighten up.

Those are opinions. The thing is, the bible says certain things that could be taken as opinions, but atheists don't have a bible to follow, so what you sai dmakes no sense.

It is because the label is in no way shape or form misleading. It states whats in the book, it just does so on a modern and humorous fashion. If the Bible was written today, it would receive a Mature rating.

So people should take the bible literally? Somebody proved the earth is a square by taking it literally. =\ Most people even tell you not to take it literally, that they are stories. Those are Christians who are big followerrs, BTW.

Its funny how Christians can walk up to an aethist and say "you're wrong" and no one bats an eyelash, but if someone says "hey, all you christians are completely wrong" then everyone throws a fit. Can dish it out, but they sure can't take it.

[Jewtastic]

homosexual activity is said to be wrong according to the Torah. As is Beastiality, incest, and stuff of that nature. However while I might not be christian you all need to lighten up. It was a joke, a photoshoped image that you seem to be taking offense to. This is why I hate christians. When Passion of the Christ came out you were all fine...when the Da Vinci Code came out you were up in arms becuase it was a movie that was bashing your saviour. Jews didnt kill christ but its alright for Mel Gibson to slander our name yet as soon as your name gets slandered you get into a fucking holy war.


I know I got off topic here but my point remains the same....lighten up, everything is not always as Black and white as you might think. There is some Grey in there.


Edit: Reading Raditzu's post I kind of elaberated on his notion but its the truth.

The first line of the label is

"This is a work of fiction. Do NOT take it literaly"

That seems like a huge lie to me >.>

It sucks to know so many good people are going to burn in hell forever

Ah...feels good not to believe in Hell, doesn't it? =3

Part of the Wiccan creed is "There is no good or evil, there is only what an individual feels is morally right for themselves." And such, Karma comes in, and goes like "Every deed, whether positive or negative, will come back to you tenfold."

That is paraphrasing, by the way.

My point is, no religion can claim they are the true religion, it is what you, as an individual feel comfortable with.

AS far as the label, sheesh, it was supposed to be humorous, people. Get over your religious constipation and laugh. Chripes.

Opinions? your joking right? (well maybe no kill or be killed, but thats not an opinion. Its a fact of a far primitive world. The rest are facts even now)

No aetheist needs a Bible. Every possibility in the world, every feasibility, and every limit is an aetheist's bible. Any ideal or code of honor they may carry is theirs to enforce with whatever power is at their disposal. As soon as that man and all those who believe likewise are gone, so do those ideals. The only thing that an aetheist may believe that will always remain true, if there is indeed no supernatural forces in which to hold faith, are the laws of the universe that were there before he ever came to be.

From that you can determine, he who has the power makes the rules. Its not an opinion its a fact. Look at anywhere in the world of man, anything in the natural world. The power is what controls.

Those who are best suited to survive will survive. Fact of Life. Only a supernatural power could deny nature.

Man is his own god. Man impacts his opinions, his actions, and ideals on the people and the world about him. When he and everyone who knew of his beliefs and opinions die, only the consequences of his actions remain.

What are you on about? That wasn't what I said at all. Christiantity get sits opinion form the bible,right ? (At least Catholicism.) Thus their opinions are said in it, and if they say thosr things, then the label can be placed. You said people can place the label on atheism, but where has there been opinions set out for atheists other than they don't believe in a higher power? Nothing about whatever the label said, so your kinda arguing a different point than what you originally were. O.o

Also, some scientists don't think that the laws of nature were there before he came here, that they are evolcing. Also, a neutrino could interact with a particle inside the body of the most fit to survive creature on the Earth and it could get cancer and die.

This is why we made the 18+ forum. Fucking people.

Clearly no one is going to win this arguement.
