My favorite thing about the Bible is that the gospels were written by followers of the disciples, who themselves didn't know how to read or write, in Aramaic, then translated to Greek, then to Latin, then censored by the council of Nicea, then finally translated into English with the Geneva, then quickly edited by the commission of King James, because the J-Sauce was very socialist and anti-government.
And the atheists who want to quote terrible things mentioned in the bible are pulling from the Old Testament, specifically a book of law written by the King Joshua, 800 years before Jesus, and proclaim that people proclaim it to be the word of God.
So, ok: we have so many translations, literally a mass obliteration of Cathars, as well as other Inquisitions... now, you wanna tell me you know jack shit about the bible and tell me things didn't happen?
Ok. Cool, bro.
Edit: btw, the two loaves of bread and five fish story was about a 12 year old boy. Jesus didn't magic shit other than inspiration in that story. Lost in translation/Nicea/government. You may be kept hidden from the teachings, because Jesus was punk fucking rock.
And a King didn't want you to even know it! That's my point, good ol' JKV that every goddamn "scholar" quotes from.
God damn, I need to attend your lecture. You know so much that I don't.
Ask away, my man. Look at the rest of the thread because some of us are having some deep dives into the topic.
In regards to the 12 year old boy, the people were complaining about hunger. Jesus gave a sermon saying we should share food.
The 12 year old offered 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread, which was his paycheck, to a disciple. The disciple asked Jesus, "Wtf am I supposed to do with this?"
"Disperse it."
5000 men, meaning 5000 families as children and women were being counted, ran to their pantries, inspired by the boy, to grab what they could find. Shit that was just sitting on the shelves that they didn't have the rest of the ingredients to actually use it.
It is a story of an impromptu potluck. The magic was only the words of Jesus and the generosity of that 12 year old boy.
And everyone was fucking fed. That's properly administrated socialism. Love your neighbor. Government doesn't even need to be involved.
What do you think about the resurrection of Lazarus?
What do you think about CPR?
I'd think survival would be inconsistent with the amount of time Lazarus was "dead"/needed cpr.
I lean more towards Lazarus being misdiagnosed as dead and Jesus giving Lazarus the ol' sternum tap to wake him up.
I can agree with that.
Look, I am saying that I agree with what Jesus taught, no question. But I don't think he was a magic zombie man.
And I do believe in God/Godhead, and I am not a hard physicalist.
The miracle of Jesus is mostly that he helped people without asking for money, which the pharisees and sadducees were doing by order of the Roman empire, while additionally refusing to assist gentiles.
And the J-Sauce was like, "fuck this stupid shit. And fuck the Romans and their self-perceived authority to deny the basic commandment: Love thy neighbor."
Jesus was punk as fuck. He refused to stand down, the Romans tried to twist the narrative so that his own supporters would be blamed, and made an example of.
But that holy spirit should die. Hence, fuck ICE. I will happily die to defend my neighbor, without using any force. Just an example.
But if you strike me first, well, I will take action to stop you from doing it again. Pacifism is not submission.
I honestly think life is missing something without the magical worldview of religion. It's why I keep starting joke cults (that people end up taking way too seriously. No really, look up the cult of the whale in Utah. That was one of my more recent religious accidents) but like, the second you start substituting the "magic" for reality you end up in trouble.
I think some of the philosophy in scripture is pretty neat, like:
Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?โBill replied: โโBe excellent to each other'.This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Party on, dudes!' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.โ
is not a bad basis for a code of morals.
