re: #102 prononymous

Yeah, this really drives me insane. If someone hasn’t read their holy book at least once all the way through, how could they be sure they are following its precepts? Unfortunately, I run into it all the time when debating theism and it really kills the discussion and my faith in humanity.

I have read the Bible, among other holy books, a few times, and I certainly don’t remember it all nor claim to understand it perfectly. But at least I’m trying, and I’m an atheist. If you don’t even make an effort, then what’s the point of being a member of a religion? To get invited to the social events?

You don’t need to be a biblical scholar to live a righteous life and love God in your Heart
