I dont think so. You would laugh and think im nuts.
So would many jesus freaks. Yet if there would talk of a pink dog in the bible it suddenly would be something else right? Then you have to respect it.
Sorry but the bible is as much fantasy and any other fantasy book.

Yes Franck I saw your post.
But since you are comparing ridiculous made-up nonsense to written doctrines compiled from the writings of thousands of sources that dates back or otherwise spans many thousands of years, I didn't see where it merited a response. :D
But whatever, I have a few minutes to spare this evening.
Hate the book or despise those who believe in the deity all you want, but many of the teachings and precepts found in scripture IS worthwhile knowledge. I'm not talking the "sacrifice your firstborn", "burn a goat as an offering" or "cut off they wife's nose if it offendeth thee" etc... I'm talking about the basic precepts on human decency, such as not feeling the driving need to ridicule others for their beliefs, don't commit murder, set a good example for your children, or it's probably not the best idea to go coveting your neighbot's wife, that kind of thing.
You have to admit there are a few here who could stand a good brush-up on some of those lessons.
Whenever I see someone so rabidly attacking and ridiculing the beliefs of others I always wonder if that person is in some way scared or intimidated that those beliefs might actually hold some truth. Conversely, I find that those who just believe what they believe and shut the fuck up about what others believe different are the ones who are secure with themselves. It's this kind of ridicule and insults that sparks resentment and hatred, and has even cause wars throughout history. Wouldn't it be great if everyone was happy with their own beliefs (or non-belief as the case may be) and just kept their foolish mouths shut about what others are doing? That of course includes the bible thumpers. There would certainly be no Jehova Witnesses knocking at people's doors, and no Francks starting threads about how stupid Christians are.
:D
