Isnt it weird how ironically, atheists are the ones that have read more pages of bible/quran/whichever holy book than believers ever did, being unaware of all atrocities being glorified in them?

If i told a Christian ,for example, how bible glorifies rape in some (by some i mean many) instances, theyd say im lying but in reality, there is so many parts praising and encouraging it.

Religion is helluva drug, kids

What are some books I can get to understand the historical backgrounds of how the books were written in the bible?

For instance, when I was watching the Bible Project, I realized the Epistle to the Romans was written at the time when the Jews returned to Rome after once being evicted by the Roman emperor, and there were arguments between the Jews and Gentiles about whether to keep certain Moses's law. I am really mesmerized by this sort of knowledge and wondering how I can get more. What are some books I can read to know more? Thank you so much!

Christians got the Bible’s autographed by the man guilty of all the deadly sins while a casino was paying for the funeral costs of the victims.

As the Bible says, you shall know them by their fruits.

EDIT: The Poarch Band of Creek Indians owns and operate the following casinos: Wind Creek Casino & Hotel, Atmore; Wind Creek Casino & Hotel, Wetumpka; and, Wind Creek Casino & Hotel, Montgomery. Tip of the hat to the Native tribes who used their Casino wealth to act more Christian than the Christians in a time of need.

In the Future, one could claim Harry Potter was real using the same arguments people use to defend the Bible.

The top arguments people use to support the existence of Jesus are:

  1. There are a large collection of stories written by independent authors that mention Jesus.

  2. There are some provable geographical and historical places and events listed in the Bible.

  3. The stories are consistent in their narrative, even when written by different authors.

Now let's look at Harry Potter.

  1. There's a large collection of "fan fiction" written by independent authors that mention Harry Potter and many of the other characters.

  2. There are some provable geographical and historical places and events listed in the Harry Potter series.

  3. The stories are consistent in their narrative, even when written by different authors.

Of course we know that Harry Potter is fictional because many of us were alive during the time the books were written and even during the time when the books are supposed to have taken place. But what would stop people in the future from believing them as (pun-intended) gospel?

Xenophobia in the Bible Belt

Just happened:

Sort of sketchy people come in asking for a weekly rate:

Characters (appropriately named because they smoke a lot)

Mom: Chimney

Daughter: Ash

Old man: Mr. Soot

collectively β€œWow this is a nice place so cute!”

Ash: β€œI want to stay here!”

Chimney: β€œI don’t want to stay at the other place, those Indians don’t know how to run a hotel.”

Mr Soot: β€œAlright girls. Do you take check?”

Me: β€œYes absolutely. I will just need a $100 SD with it.”

Mr. Soot: β€œI’m not sure my deposit has hit yet. It will probably decline my card.”

It does.

Me: β€œSorry sir, but I do still need a SD.”

says he’s going to the bank to get cash and usually that’s code for nvm not coming back.

They do come back. Mr. Soot comes in my office to check in. He reluctantly hands me his drivers license, writes the check, and gives me the $100. I double check that he knows we don’t allow smoking in the rooms and I have him sign the reg card.

Mr Soot: β€œThis place is just lovely. I can’t believe you guys take check!”

Me: β€œIt doesn’t happen often anymore but when it does we are ready for it.”

Mr Soot: β€œMost of these Indian hotels here are awful but this place is great and Indians always refuse checks...but I guess y’all don’t because this is American run.”

Me: (trying not to laugh) β€œActually sir, it IS ran by an American. Who just happens to be Indian as well! Here are your keys. Enjoy your stay.”

Mr Soots demeanor changes from approving to disappointed, he hesitates taking the keys and then just goes β€œoh.”

I could tell he was debating canceling the reservation..

My boss and his family are amazing so every time someone says stuff like this to me it hurts.

Mr Soot: β€œThey have to walk all the way to the front door to smoke? Don’t you guys have balconies?”

Me: β€œSorry sir, those rooms are all full or they are being cleaned. Not sure how long that will take.”

They don’t deserve a balcony.
