Has he ever explained why he believes in the Bible? It's every bit as ridiculous as the Book of Mormon and Mormonism.

Is he the Born Again Mormon guy?

Yeah, the guy on The Heart of the Matter TV show.

Because it is God's Word, of course.
One moment in annihilation's waste,
one moment, of the well of life to taste-
The stars are setting and the caravan
starts for the dawn of nothing; Oh, make haste!

How is the Bible ridiculous, Scottie?

How is the Bible ridiculous, Scottie?

Because it's ancient bronze age Middle Eastern mythology passed off as the Word of God. And this God doesn't even really exist. That's pretty freaking ridiculous.

Because Noah's Ark never happened.

Because Adam and Ever are myth, and not the real "first flesh" who "fell" from some farcical garden paradise 6000ish years ago.

Because any god who would order the annihilation down to the last infant, cat, dog, and chicken of entire cities and kingdoms is no god I'd want to fall down in praise of, and the notion that this god is also our loving Sky Daddy is ridiculous and farcical.

It's ridiculous because of the system of punishments and whatnot described in it for infractions such as "what to do to a woman if she stretches her hand out to save her husband, who has been attacked, and accidentally touches the cock or ballsack of the attacker".

It's ridiculous because half the crap in there never happened, the other half has been embellished beyond belief, the third half is an abomination, and the fourth and final half is held up even today by many people as reason to hate each other, drive each other off various pieces of land, kill each other, etc.

I'd say the Bible goes above and beyond the call of ridiculousness. It's ridiculous maximus.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

What Seth said...plus, add a man that was killed and raised from the dead after 3 days as a sacrifice for our sins......whatever a "sin" is??

Your sig quote makes no sense, unless it is entirely in jest. If Shirts saw a ball come into his yard my guess is he's go out and play the game and have a great time.

Yeah, I'm sure he would. Blixa just happened to catch my funny bone with that line. I was crying when I read it.
