YOU OWN BUSINESSES AND HAVE KIDS, HOW ARE YOU THIS BORED

I’m a little under the weather and my wife took my work computer away! Already played 3 or 4 hours of Ratchet and Clank. This is my entertainment until the Astros game starts!

I mean, most Christians aren't executing gays, they were mixed fabrics, they eat pork and seafood, women have autonomy,  they have sex outside of marriage, and so on and so forth.

 

Christians routinely ignore parts of the Bible they find inconvenient, this isn't new. It's not about failing to live up to expectations or whatever, it's just willful cherry picking.

Ok actually I relate to this.

You just ran down a list of laws for the nation of Israel, things that are directly linked to the covenants God makes with Abraham and later Moses. They matter of fact do not apply to those who are part of the new covenant in Christ. This is seen most clearly in the Jerusalem council in Acts 15 where the gentile Christians are told they must be circumcised to be brought into the family of God (as would be true under the Mosaic law) and the Apostles make the declaration that they don't have to because their salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus, not in obedience to the law. They explicitly say that won't yoke them with that burden.
 

That being said, there certainly are people who don't have solid hermeneutical grounding and use the Bible/Christianity as a defense of their own thoughts and feelings. I wouldn't disagree with that notion!

Not all of them. And didn't Jesus say he didn't come to abolish the law? NT still explicitly condemns homosexuality, too.

 

I really don't care about the nitty gritty of this shit, though. The point is, Christians constantly cherry pick what they want to follow from the Bible because let's be real. It's an old book, written by a bunch of dudes from a totally different time and most of it is just silly today.

Honest question… why even be “religious” if you’re going to be the arbiter of what is and is not a sin? There’s a difference between acknowledging that your faith considers something a sin (as is the case for masturbation in almost every Christian faith) then deciding to do it anyway and you personally deciding that it isn’t. Stroke away, I don’t care, but looking at porn is absolutely coveting thy neighbor’s wife, it’s against the Ten Commandments. If you’re going to ignore those, might as well just start The Chuch of Best to see if you can get tax exempt status while you’re at it.

 

It's no secret that I'm an atheist but this does not seem like a compelling argument at all. A lot of people's religious beliefs come from what they feel is true about the world as a starting point. So lets take that starting point that you believe a God something like the Christian God exists. From that belief you may be inclined to believe that some miraculous events did in indeed occur in human history. But that belief in itself in no way demands you also believe some very specific religion and interpretation largely constructed over hundreds of years is an absolute perfect reflection of the prior events and the ultimate will of God. It's very easy to believe that there could have been some things lost and others inserted into churches for arbitrary reasons. In fact the diversity of churches that all supposedly come from the some place kind of requires that this has happened to some extent.

 

So obviously I think neither relaxed beliefs in God nor strict adherence to some specific church are correct, but neither is on a stronger ground than the other either.

Only if I can post my rating after each... Chapter? Passage? What do you call Bible subdivisions anyway?


Big number is chapter, small number is verse. Neither are original to the text, just added to make referencing easier

How so? Are they somehow better than the rest of us? 

 

I really don't understand what makes them better if they are posting at day1patch. Like it's a privilege if they come and post in my thread? GTFO.

Did you bang the woman in the relationship at work yet?

 

Na. She is getting really frustrated in how management is treating her right now. She is looking for another job. I haven't had much communication with her minus work emails. We stopped texting because my last response to her I think pissed her off. Better off this way. She is definitely cute.

Once she leaves for a new job, hit her up.

I’m expecting updates to this thread as regularly as the Inuk one.

 

And likewise I expect pictures as well.

 

When I upload pictures at imgur it doesn't work when I try to post on this forum. 

 

I had masturbated 3 days in a row then took yesterday off and wiill do so this coming weekend.

 

Also, the girl I still have a crush on texted me randomly about something she would know the answer to. I think she may be back at it again. I ignored the text for now but I hate this.

Write the answer to her question on a post-it-note and send it to her with it stuck on your cock.

and like literally send your cock with the note on it in the mail to her all bloody chicks dig that shit

 

I was thinking about walking in work naked and have the sticky note attached to my cock. I'd slowly walk up to her with a gross smile on my face.

 

I don't know where I'm going with this. My body is in bad pain and I'm really exhausted. 2nd vaccine shot is kicking my ass. :(
