LordReed:
The Bible did not arrive by fax from heaven. The Bible is the product of man, my dear. Not of God. The Bible did not fall magically from the clouds. Man created it as a historical record of tumultuous times, and it has evolved through countless translations, additions, and revisions. History has never had a definitive version of the book.

Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code (Robert Langdon, #2)

MrPresident1:
Somebody is quoting Dan Brown's book for the Bible, loool, how laughable

LordReed:


Yes its a laugh when one work of fiction references another work of fiction.

Psalms 14:1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

LordReed:


Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.

Chinua Achebe

LordReed:


The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

LordReed:


Doubt as sin. — Christianity has done its utmost to close the circle and declared even doubt to be sin. One is supposed to be cast into belief without reason, by a miracle, and from then on to swim in it as in the brightest and least ambiguous of elements: even a glance towards land, even the thought that one perhaps exists for something else as well as swimming, even the slightest impulse of our amphibious nature — is sin! And notice that all this means that the foundation of belief and all reflection on its origin is likewise excluded as sinful. What is wanted are blindness and intoxication and an eternal song over the waves in which reason has drowned.

MrPresident1:


You better give your life to Jesus Christ so that you do not wake up into shame and disgrace when he returns. Jesus is the way the truth and the life no man comes to the father except thorough him.

And stop quoting Nietzsche and Jefferson, you understand nothing of what they are saying
