So in this instance you question how to choose which bible is correct, or something? Its both. All the stories serve purpose to the followers. The stories also distill down to archetypes that for some reason resonate with humans on a very fundamental level. That's pretty cool.

religion is for suckers

There are something like 9000 gods. My original question was not about which catholic Bible was the right one.

that unfaithful whore has no right to say that. i mean, God works in mysterious ways and all, but i highly doubt he's speaking through that crazy worthless *****.

Let's put two and two together here.

If you give yourself license to dismiss the old testament as a sign of the times, then how did you determine that the new testament's lessons are good and should be followed? Sounds like you're just trying to justify what you already agree with. Can I not dismiss anything I don't like in the new testament as just a sign of the times, such as telling slaves to obey their masters, even the cruel ones?

I didn't dismiss it... Derp.

So what, you agree with all the instructions on how to own slaves?

I see you're erecting scaffolding for your huge straw man again lmao

I see you're dodging the question.

omg you agree with slavery!!

So my question still stands.

If you get to ignore the old testament's instructions for slavery, then why shouldn't someone ignore the new testament's lessons on being a good man?

Um. Everyone is free to ignore it.

Yes, Jesus was a real "turn the other cheek" kinda guy when it came to worldly oppression.
