I was raised as a Christian and only recently became an atheist.

Yes you are an atheist. Really understand what that means to begin with and the rest will follow. First, you need to understand and accept that you are now at the default position. There is nothing wrong with that and you should not be ashamed. As a matter of fact, it is the one position that one ...

Since it was written by many different authors over a long period and for many different reasons, it therefore almost certainly includes a lot of different genre, some of which should not be taken metaphorically. At least, some metaphor, (Genesis ) political propaganda, ( eg. Kings, Exodus, Chronicles) some imaginative fiction, ( eg. Ruth, Job ) some attempts at genuine law writing, ( eg. leviticus ), Religious propaganda, (eg.

Since it is possible to Cherry pick anything you want from a mess like the bible, to support any view you like, even if taken literally, it becomes truly meaningless if taken metaphorically. Yet that does not stop people using it as a higher authority to support their own inventions, which is the main problem with 'holy' books. The metaphorical view, is, to use a metaphor, 'Gods gift' , to the fundamentalists, and the corner stone of their anti-humanism."
my argument here would be that an interpretation that is in error at one passage will obviously contradict other passages, and generally speaking the orig interpreter will display denial at that point, to reinforce their lack of vision maybe? And fwiw imo the Bible is written like that on purpose perhaps, that hypocrites may be revealed?

Very true, this is why morality and ethics do not derive from religion, but religion is an (unfortunate) side effect of those concepts. As secular or non-religious it's beholden on us to use our common humanity for the common good, regardless of whether it's recognized as such or praised.

in the story of Esau ("red, ruddy") it is encoded why our ancestors seemed to believe that they needed a human sacrifice (*give me some of that red stew, for i am famished unto death!*) and how "Jacob" (not a real person of course) came to "supplant" Esau, who was only condemned after he would not "let Israel (Jacob) pass through"
Allamanda comments on Mar 24, 2020:
Very true, this is why morality and ethics do not derive from religion, but religion is an (unfortunate) side effect of those concepts. As secular or non-religious it's beholden on us to use our common humanity for the common good, regardless of whether it's recognized as such or praised.

in the story of Esau ("red, ruddy") it is encoded why our ancestors seemed to believe that they needed a human sacrifice (*give me some of that red stew, for i am famished unto death!*) and how "Jacob" (not a real person of course) came to "supplant" Esau, who was only condemned after he would not "let Israel (Jacob) pass through"

Which i do not mean as a slight, i am equally ignorant of many things ok
Paul referred to many extra-biblical works, and even said directly *All writings are valuable for instruction, correction, * etc, and we still have access to the apocrypha, if not all of the works Paul referenced; which is hardly the fault of the councils of Nicea, clown-show that they were, i agree.

@LimitedLight the way you get "immunized" to a virus is to get "infected" with it, and assimilate it, as any healthy immune system can do, no prob. Hence 80% asymptomiasis, which i hope i just made up :D
oh and also why weak-ass...lol why lo-immune ppl get the flu from an attenuated "vaccine" that shouldnt be hurting them at all, beyond calcifying their pine cones a bit more
bbyrd009 comments on Mar 23, 2020:
It's just a different model of disease and i guess mentality which we are not really equipped to understand, being so fascist now imo. Avoiding getting "infected" is avoiding getting immunized--they are the same vector, as anyone who has ever gotten the flu from a flu "vaccine" can attest--and ...

@SeaGreenEyez you dont think its more prudent for the rest of you who are at risk to isolate, and encourage the 98% to immunize, rather than a fascist shutdown of the whole small business economy? Ok with me, im a full blown anarchist, but im just wondering why *i* am arguing from the republican pov here lol, the longer the "economy" is shut down the more i like it personally, im strictly black-market anyway. My dog is curled up at your feet! :)

@SeaGreenEyez well, you may believe that if you like, but the addl number of deaths per day is statistically insignificant. it is mostly the frightened who are clogging the hospitals. infection = immunization, and sequestering yourself from other humans is a sure way to lose herd immunity
is their point also, im sure
keep calm and garlic on imo :)

It wouldnt be better to just hire an extra ten k workers in the health insustry for a couple months? Its a fascist coup imo
