Getting the bible slamed down my throat....

Don't you hate when the bible gets slammed down your throats by your parents? In school? Does't it suck? As a matter of fact, I hate the fact that I have school slammed down my throat. I hate having to learn math, because clearly they are slamming it down my throat. Why do I have to listen to a teacher anyway? There just slamming stuff down my throat, You know what, lets just not listen to anybody, especially our elders, because all their doing is "slamming" their experience down our throats. When I listen to music, they are slamming it down my throat. When I watch the news, they are slamming their opinion down my throat. Hoeosexuals anybody? All that pride and flauting is just slamming it down my throat. Why do I even have to read? I never wanted to learn to read or write in the begining, so they should have no right slamming it down my throat.

Doesn't all of the above sound abslotely ridculous? So why do people claim they are getting the bible slammed down their throat? No one is forcing you to believe anything. They are teaching you, now its obivous up to you to accpet it or not. If you feel that the bible is getting slammed down your throat then voice your opionn. But if your going to debate something that is factually proven, (in terms of genology, history, geologically etc.) then your going to have to debate back with facts. If you just completely call somethimg garbage without researching, then obviously your intentions for disagreeing with said thing is not honest in your approach. Instead of going with mass opinion, (ahem socialism), be intelligent and come to your own conclusion. Don't be a follower, be a leader.

Lots of throat slamming is going on where you live. You surly must have a sore throat.

I guess I'm lucky, school was never that bad when it came to religion and my family are not religious in anyway. :)

I think it has to do with the rebellion as a teen against your superiors, but I do think that there are times when things, such as religion, school, etc are heavily pressured for certain people.

Oh and they can talk it all they want. I'll just ignore it though..I think I can worry about my religion myself..

I think by 'slamming', you mean 'shoving'.

And no, my parents let me choose my own beliefs.

If I ever hear the saying "slammed down my throat" again, I will take my fist and slam it down someone's throat.Theokhoth

...I think I know her.

I can't quite picture how "slamming" anything down someone's throat would work, much less a thick book.

I was going to make a joke about things being slammed down my throat, but it looks like everyone else had the same idea lol.

I'm gona shove my throat down this thread.McJugga

It goes down well with mashed potatoes and beans. Just coat it with vasoline and slide it down-- there's no slamming involved.

Whether or not you believe what the Bible has to say, people should still read the Bible, whether for religious or research purposes. If you want to criticize Christianity, you better know where Christians stand before making comments that can come off as ignorant.hiphops_savior

Maybe I wasn't clear as the meaning to this thread. What I am saying is that, we have all at some point in our life have heard about God. Majority of people dismiss the bible as crap. Yet they have not put any research into what so ever. Basically what I am saying is, how can you dismiss something you don't understand? Wouldn't it be the intelligent thing to try to understand said subject, and then make a decision, instead of going with mass opinion? Wouldn't that be the way of the true intellect?JJ_Productions

I slammed a sub down my throat...

Mmm, subs... *drools*

Polls disagree with that statement.

"PRINCETON, NJ -- About one-third of the American adult population believes the Bible is the actual word of God and is to be taken literally word for word. This percentage is slightly lower than several decades ago. The majority of those Americans who don't believe that the Bible is literally true believe that it is the inspired word of God but that not everything it in should be taken literally. About one in five Americans believe the Bible is an ancient book of "fables, legends, history, and moral precepts recorded by man."

One is five is not a "majority", it is 20% which is a minority.

Wow. This country is doomed. There are over 100 million Americans that take that collection of fables, legends, history and moral precepts literally?
