just happening to draw the same number as Revelations considers the number of the Beast is one hell of a coincidence.

Only to those who give a # about the Bible. But the application number is not 666 it is WO2020060606

Bill Gates was flapping his nerd gums about how overpopulated Earth was and how we needed to reduce the number of humans on the planet

I don't think he's actually said that.

Everyone should give a # about the Bible. Any historian, professional or otherwise, recognizes the importance of it’s historical relevance. What are your thoughts on Cyrus the Great and Isaiah’s prophecy?

Some 2000 years ago some crazy book stated that one day, people would become organic bank accounts
That a one world system would be implemented

It’s not like we can’t see it looming on the horizon, not like trials have been undertaken, social scoring in some countries already exists
2000 years ago and we are watching it happen today

Yet, many will deny the link

Scripture also tells us there will be scoffers, even until the bitter end. How would someone endure through the seals and trumpets of Revelation, yet still refuse to turn to God? It’s difficult to comprehend. The pride of many humans will lead to their downfall.

Also you’re assuming “population growth” means not having kids, because the country has good healthcare....

Like that’s the only reason......

Bill gates is admittedly a genocidial maniac; no links needed either, you know where to find it same as me...

Are you a philosophy major? Because you mostly use evasion tactics of a “pretend” smart guy. lol

“Pretend” smart guy is the best way to describe this individual. Kudos.

Everyone Should give a # about the bible? Why? What makes it more "correct" or "true" than the Quran or Bhagavad Gita? Catholicism counts for 30% of world religious belief, there's a whole 70% of the words population that would disagree with you.

What a ridiculous thread. Allowing 606060 to be seen as similar as 666 is retarded enough but the clincher is that 666 isn't even the mark of the beast, that would be 616. So even if the whole fairystory of the bible is true, it still doesn't make any sense.

And frankly I would be worried if I didn't understand the difference between reducing population growth and reducing population.

The only thing retarded here is you. Using a textual variant, an exception to the rule, is retarded and not even close to genuine exegesis. Most scholars agree that 666 is the correct number, as did the church fathers that were alive in the 2nd century.

As per usual, here is some scoffing fool projecting his childhood trauma on the internet. I knew it the second you said “fairytale,” as if most retarded deniers haven’t beaten that horse to death. Take it easy, there is enough low-hanging fruit to go around.

All scripture is good for reproof and knowledge. I’m sorry I hurt your feelings by leaving out other spiritual leanings?? I have a copy of the Quran, as well as the Hadith. I like to learn. What do you want to know about the prophet Mohammed and the rise of Islam? I’m happy to share. Also, I am not catholic.

That “70%” that disagrees with me that the Bible is immensely important to historicity, archaeology, etc are dumb as #. Go dry your eyes.

Also, I don’t know what a Baghdad Giza is, but it sounds like a bad STD. Go check with your PCP and let me know.

Not enormously important. But there are some excellent allegories in it. And there is no doubt it has heavily influenced our culture. And frequently been misread and misinterpreted for various purposes, better and worse. As can be any religious text.

I disagree that it isn’t enormously important, but that simply comes down to personal opinion, I suppose.

I would also point out that the inverse of everything you listed is also true. Just as things can be misinterpreted, they can also be correctly interpreted. But I don’t disagree with your statement because it is obviously true. It comes down to bias.

It comes down to bias.

Faith (belief) is also involved. I think.

In many situations, there is no belief required to interpret scripture properly. Many parables are relatively straight forward (as I believe you alluded to when you mentioned the allegories). There are other examples as well throughout the 66 books included in the canon.

Personally, yes, I have faith and believe certain doctrine based on my own experiences and research; hence my personal bias. I won’t argue the point because once again, I do agree to an extent, just not necessarily as a whole.

And I also feel as though I’ve derailed the thread enough as it is.

Agreed.

Unfortunately any religious text is absolute circular argumentation, meaning one passage is used to prove another passage. In all religions, or metaphysical beliefs, trying to extrapolate metaphysical with physical text, opinion and preaching are pointless, people either believe or they don't, hence "Faith".

Arguing religion is like a dog chasing its tail.

I am not arguing about religion. You all are. It’s fine, I realize you guys are very zealous about your agnosticism, a religion in itself, it seems.

What I am arguing is that the Bible is important for recognizing elements of history. Feel free to research how often the Bible assists with archaeology. Why you can’t seem to understand that is your own problem. You are choosing to argue about something I could care less about.

The Bible is important. I’m sorry that bothers you.

Your name isn’t fitting to your demeanor at all, clearly, as anyone who cares about truth recognizes the importance of the Bible. It doesn’t matter if you believe the divine nature of Jesus or not. It doesn’t matter if you believe in God. I legitimately do not understand why this is such a difficult concept to grasp. It seems like your anti-religious views are shrouding your “real truth” seeking abilities.

No, you’re not. Casting aside thousands of years worth of historical compilation is literally dumb. Good job.

Absolutely. While studying formal logic and critical thinking years ago, at U of M, the Bible was a classic example of blatant contradictions.

With faith it's either people believe or they don't, and people can neither deny, nor prove metaphysical claims, hence the contradictions they surround themselves in, trying to profess something metaphysical.

In no way should is this meant to diminish people's beliefs, but rather give them a solid basis that critical thinking and logic cannot be applied to religions.
