    It blows my mind that there are atheists who read the Bible literally.

      It’s fine if you don’t read the Bible literally. As long as you also accept that Jesus didn’t actually die and resurrect. You didn’t read it literally, did you?

        It’s so nice that you showed up to have a bad faith argument. Look at you so precocious.

          You want it both ways.

          And I see the insults are starting because you have no reasonable reply.

            I’m very open to discuss my beliefs but you have to ask instead of insult.

            Have you ever considered that I do believe in a literal Jesus that lived and died. My personal interpretation is God an nth dimensional being fires up the sim known as our universe and has fun designing spacetime and life in our sim for a few billion years. Eventually he gets bored and wants more interactive NPCs. So then God decided to impart sapience via further evolution to our human ancestors. He gets frustrated with the NPCs and their weird primate behaviors and tries to do the authority figure bit, it fails. Makes a new plan become part human and live as a human to understand our perspective better. Immediately realizes how fucked his creation is once it is able to be experienced in our time based chemistry driven existence and absolves the whole sin thing.

              I know. That’s why I brought it up and you reacted so hostile.

              You pick and choose what to believe. You believe in Jesus only because it’s in the Bible but don’t believe in the parts Bible when it’s inconvenient.

              Science memes is for science jokes, not Christian apologetics.

                I’ve read your comment history your tone is repugnant and condesending. I do not believe that my definition of hostile and your definition of hostile can be reconciled if you think your comments are amicable.

                  You dismiss anyone who believes in the entire Bible as reading it wrong, yet find it insulting when it is suggested that you are the one reading it wrong.

                  I’m only pointing out hypocrisy.

                    Show me where I said that you were wrong. I have stated what I believe. I have called you descriptions of your attitude. I have expressed amusement that somebody who clearly does not believe in religion would enter uninvited into arguments from a false position of authority on the subject matter while you are very clearly not somebody who’s actually read it. If by chance you have actually read from the Torah, the Bible and the Quran, you clearly missed a lot. This is not an attack. I would implore you to work on your reading comprehension skills as they seem to be lacking. There’s a reason that you have to take humanities courses in college even if you’re going for a full stem career. It’s to help you become a more rounded person. One of my choice electives was religious studies. As you age, you’d be best to remember that nobody likes the annoying atheist it’s peak 4chan cringe. If you don’t believe in God, that’s your choice.
