"the only difference"? That's absurd.redunderthebed wrote:You do realise your doing similar things that the westboro baptists to justify their bigotry only difference is that your trying to prove that god is big bad and evil which i find deeply ironic for someone who claims to be an atheist and think the bible is a load of shite as you've told me in not so many words on my FB pages cormac.

I don't know about Ayaan, but I only ever had the ones people left at my home. Very useful for penetration comparisons.rEvolutionist wrote:I'm amazed at how many atheists(?) have a bible, let alone multiple copies. I can't actually remember ever having held a bible in my hands.
) When Mom moved in with me she asked me to check that bible to "make sure all the births and deaths are up to date". I tried opening it, but the zipper was fused about an inch from the start, probably from the day is was made.Ein Ubootsoldat wrote:“Ich melde mich ab. Grüssen Sie bitte meine Kameraden.”
I make a point of having one at home. Know the enemy, plus it's still a basic component of our culture, so something you sshould have handy to check stuff as need arises. I even made a point of buying a readable version after I noticed that the cheapo one I had was a protestant version whose author had gone for bowdlerizing to an unacceptable degree.

What kind of schools did you go to? I never received a bible at any of my schools.Thinking Aloud wrote:The one on the far left is my Gideon's NT, which I was handed more or less the first day of high school; then the pale brown one I think came from my maternal grandfather; there are two of those Queen's Jubilee NTs, given out to the kids at school

How on earth can you be a Christian, when you don't own a bible - and therefore, you can't have read it end to end?rEvolutionist wrote:I'm amazed at how many atheists(?) have a bible, let alone multiple copies. I can't actually remember ever having held a bible in my hands.
