Okay, once again, I don't get you. Maher attacks Christianity like it's a foul, pestilent disease, and yet you enjoy his show, even though you have images of Christ all over your post. My head is spinning . . .
You can talk about his smug attitude all you want but he brings up a ton of legitimate information in this documentary. The date of the birth of Christ wasn't determined until 349 AD. A lot of the bible was written by man, human beings. If Sylvia Brown was alive in that era would she be anointed a prophet? Edgar Cayce?
Man contributed to the content of the bible. Moses went on top of a mountain and talked to god and came down with the 10 commandments. These are all just stories. I'm not an atheist but he brought up a lot of great points. Logic speaks much louder to me than what some man/person from that era wrote down.
i don't know how many people take it all so literally. in 1000 years we'll probably have that Geroge Bush went into hand to hand combat and killed Saddam hussein or something.
So the talking snake must have been? Parting the red sea, which goes against all laws of physics, must have been? I can only imagine what prophet Edgar Cayce would have written in the bible if he were alive in that era. We'll just have to agree to disagree. You can't discard logic and even science.
what's there to discuss. its just been diluted or made up over the years...kind of like fables or whatever. look at greek mythology...people believe that shit too. or that there were dragons or whatever. people like mahr like to bait christians into these discussions because he enjoys trollling them, pissing them off. he doesn't really give a shit about it all i imagine....its just an easy target.
Watch the movie. He did his research. Senior Priest as the Vatican, Reginald Foster, had similar views; the parting of the red sea, the garden of eden, ect, are "just stories" and "non-sense", and that's coming from someone with a lot of credibility (Foster).
wow. so some magic serpent never tempted the only two people on earth and the father and mother of humanity? shocking! you mean some guy didn't magically part the f'n ocean in order to walk across in order to escape their slave masters!? shocked! blasphemy!
What's Foster have going for him? He's a Catholic from Wisconsin. He teaches Catholicism how I learned it. Two things come from Wisconsin smart people and serial killers (and fat people, cheese, motorcycles, sewage caps, Caron Butler straight out of the penitentiary, Tony Romo, progressivism, milk, etc.)
