@PSBEATSALLDEAL @megaspiderweb09 because religion itself isn't the issue, it's people who don't use their brains who also happen to be religious

@PSBEATSALLDEAL that's fairly disgusting considering who she is....

@BigAl519 @The_Beanster Not exactly my point; if you are committed to any sort of rationalist or anti-supernatural principles, of course you will not believe the Bible.

But historically, the value of something like the gospel of Judas is just almost zero for learning anything about Jesus. It's interesting for looking at developments in the 3rd-4th century, but not for trying to examine the claims of Christianity.

So posting it and saying "educate yourself" is a bit ironic...

@Kuari999 @BigAl519 @Tubaguy988 science and Christianity are not antithetical

Hence, there are many reputable scientists who are also Christians.

@BigAl519 I think it's funny that people take texts like the gospel of Judas, which are far less reputable historically, and believe what they say over against Biblical texts which are more historically reputable.

@Tubaguy988 historic Christianity is based off the Bible; and it doesn't have too much to do with being a good person at the basis.

It actually has more to do with being an evil screw up at the basis.

@Dasim64 cherry picking taken to its logical conclusion leaves you holding to a faith that is something other than historic Christianity

@GamerNerdTalk I think he did research on how to get his money back

@RippySLO @ShawnSwitch It's possible that there's a slight distinction between a person having a way overly sensitive conscience and a person killing and eating other people.

Maybe just a small difference there.

@LiquidGold the NT is not misogynist, slavery in the Bible is not what colonial slavery was at all (and the NT establishes equality of slave/master) etc

How you interpret the Bible matters.
