The person who added the sticker obviously hasn't read what's inside. It's very sad that someone would take the words that God has spoken and attempt to devalue them in this way. This is the book that holds the absolute truth that we need in order to live, not just here and now but for eternity. It will change your life IF you allow it to. Otherwise it just becomes another piece of literature to you.

I think it's funny... (and yes, I have read the bible... and no, I don't think it holds absolute truth...)

It will change your life IF you allow it to. Otherwise it just becomes another piece of literature to you.
"The Cat in the Hat" will change your life IF you allow it to... I don't see this as a useful statement ...

I love this sticker. I've also read the bible and find that is it a good piece of literature -- nothing more.

You don't find it useful because you don't understand that the bible is not just a book. The WORD of God is more than just scripture, it is the person of Jesus Christ, He will change your life if you allow Him to. It's your choice.

Ditto. I don't need to believe in some mythical being to have a full and happy life. If i did, however, I'd believe in the FSM

Yes, I believe that we're in charge of our own destinies. Relying on someone or some thing else to provide our happiness is a fool's errand.

pssssssst nascarfan2, don't tell anyone but the bible was not written by the sky fairy, but but many men (no women allowed) over a very long period of time. That is why there are so many contradictions and such in it.

Pretty good read though, especially the old testament.

OK, I must admit that I made a mistake. I actually assumed that people visiting this web site were "thinking" people, people who didn't actually bash something until they understood it fully. I will close with this. Someday you will have an encounter with God, whether it's 4 days from now or 40 years from now, and on that day I hope that you will remember the choice that you made today. My prayer is that you will have made the right choice before you have that encounter because it will happen whether you believe it or not.

Whether you view it as a piece of literature or not, I think you should be able to see the humor in it. God has a sense of humor - look at the platypus.

One of my favorite quotes, and I think it applies: "God is a comedian performing in front of an audience too afraid to laugh."

NASCARFAN2 - You clearly haven't read the Bible in its entirety...

When is ethnic cleansing virtuous? When is owning men, women and children permissible? When is placing a child on a mound of kindling and approaching that child with the intent of murder a sign of sanity and courage? When is the execution of all who work on the Sabbath deemed fair and just? When it's in the Bible.

Much of the bible is a repulsive book filled with barbarities led by a vindictive selfish cruel magical god being. No child should ever be taught to follow its example. The ancient texts of the Bible were written by imperfect men during imperfect times about many matters of which they had no objective knowledge.

Nascar...It's pointless. They will not take any of it seriously because they consider themselves intellectually superior and we're just morons. Whatever....

Their ignorance is revealed when they actually say that Jesus Christ didn't exist. Then they throw out the "fact" that the Bible is filled with contradictions. Too bad they won't take the challenge that others have over the centuries and actually seriously and with their full intellect, "search". Many fear, deep inside, what they might discover if they ever did. And we know that apart from the removal of their 'blindness', they are unable to "see". They are the perfect expression of those in Romans 1. And they enjoy demeaning us...

And how did this come about Jatfla? In Jimmy Carter's 2002 Nobel speech in Oslo, he said "The present year is a challenging and disturbing time for those whose lives are shaped by religious faith based on kindness towards each other".
The point is that there is a remarkable trend toward fundamentalism in all religions. Increasingly true believers are inclined to begin a process of deciding: "Since I am aligned with God, I am superior and my beliefs should prevail, and anyone who disagrees with me is inherently wrong."
Jatfla, Discipleship, following Jesus, is not about believing a correct atonement theology. It is about following the way of the cross--commitment to the path of personal tr...

Just to put in my two cents; many people here are claiming that anyone who doesn't believe in the Bible has not read it and "understood" it.

That's really a "love your neighbour" and "turn the other cheek" attitude you haven't got there because what you are saying is that, if Christianity said you should kill others over this silly slight, you would do it.

I am admittedly uneducated biblically speaking... Know that first, before any try to invalidate my statements for whatever reason, much as some have to prove or disprove their own point.
Ok, that said:

What many have said here in this post has been to either discredit the bible, or nascarfan2... Both of which are great examples of faith in practice. They are both imperfect. They both mean well. And they are both criticized for speaking what may not be universal, but is a personal truth.

That...is where the value lies. Personal truth speaks to the individual, reveals what under the teachings of others, some may miss. Even if the old and new testaments were written by men who had a vision ...

Indeed. If a next life exists, I will be fine I'm sure. I am a good person who helps others less fortunate, who doesn't lie or cheat or do wrong to others, and who endeavours every day to be kind and considerate of other people. I can't see me having any problems there. I also don't judge other people for what they believe - that's extra points, I dare say.

i can laugh at jokes about God, Jesus, christians, but i'm not sure i see this sticker as humor...

for one thing the text are pretty dark.

also, the author - and many of the others here - seem to mean what the sticker says.

so it isn't ironic, it isn't good-natured, from some comments it doesn't seem to be overstatement, it can't be understatement...

it seems much more like an attack than humor of any kind.

I don't care if a person is black, white, yellow, red, brown or green (what no martians?). Because that doesn't tell me what type of person he/she is. But a religious belief sure does. If I am not a (insert religion here), I am doomed in the end.

You're all wrong, the answer is 42 and we should probably be worshiping the mice :-/

We said we didn't want to be proselytized to, and I stated quite
clearly that I do not believe in God, and he kept going on & on..
that's pathetic in my book, you don't think so? you think he has every
right? well, I really don't give a damn

It's not may fault you are confused as to what free speech is.
So, bashing religion = free speech. Proselytizing = not free speech. And the reason is because you don't want to hear proselytizing, but obviously people like hearing their religion bashed. Does that about sum up your view of freedom of speech?

In reading this I really found it kind of funny, on both sides of the table.
First, those saying that there is no God, no Jesus, etc. but He advocates all these atrocities that are mentioned, and others saying there isn't a God or Jesus, but then saying that all the plagues and such were caused by Him.
He Either Is or Is Not, you can't have it both ways,
Then those proclaiming their belief but then not following them when it came to getting into it with several others. The things I'd like to point out though is there is a big difference in religion, religious teachings, and being a Christian. For those that have read the Bible will know or others welcome to look up, there is no mention of ...

If you ask me, i think a similar type warning (though of course modifications necessary) should be placed on certain textbooks.

Hah.

Well anyway, I think it's very interesting how popular Christianity is, whether it's people for it or WAY against it.
Look at all who flock here to it! if this was something against Buddhism or something else i doubt it would have been such a popular clip. Why do you think there's so much controversy? Hmm?! XD

C'mon people !!! the warning spokes truth, the whole bible is about murder, morbid stories, and like every other religious book... is ONLY based on stories, I mean, the first gospel was written about 40 years after all happened, who can remember details and things after all that time, about 90% has to be made up!!!!

Hehe.. First of all you'll have to excuse my English, (because there are other people living in this world than Americans... And I'm not sure by your countrys actions that you do understand this)

To get back to the sticker... Which has been quite forgotten in many of the posts, I think the discussion should be about if the bible has inspired people to what the what the warnings are warning about.

And in my opinion, YES! In fact all the way up to today, its still the same story... Righteous people..? I don't think so...

A true believer is nothing but a fanatic/fundamentalist, obsessed by his/her own righteousness. As long as you don't think for your self, as long as you don't understand m...

ah, religion, look at all the diseases it has cured, look at all the wars it has not caused, look at all the prejudice it continues to not perpetrate against homosexuals and people of a different religion...

also, just look at the guy walking on water....is that really conducive to critical thinking? Or is it supposed to sound like a fairytale?

Before posting, remember, the WWW was NOT the creation of a religous foundation, but rather a scientific one.

When Christians stop using the Bible as a weapon on those they disagree with, perhaps more folk will find the Christ within its pages.

Wooweee! I'm a free thinker because I can criticize the Bible!

I wonder if I would still be a free thinker if I criticized the works of Stalin or the writings of Noam Chomsky.

For the record you can't say this, for in order for you to say that means that is what you believe in -- nothing.

I hope you don't think God is going to let you into Heaven if you are "pretty good" because it is either 101% or you don't make the cut. It says in HIS WORD that:

Ah...yes, truer labels have never been produced. The bible is full of contradictory information and much of it is down right EVIL in my opinion (the difference between right & wrong is the same as the difference between atheism & religion (in that order)).

For the nay sayers who prefer to let preachers & fairy tales do their thinking for them, here are just a few of the many links to check the wonderful 'truths' and 'goodness' your bible preaches (of course no self respecting christian will do this opting instead to blindly follow their faith and resist using their noodle instead of exposing delusional beliefs to rational thinking and evidence - a self fulfilling prophesy for continued ign...

I didn't go to the links. Didn't need to. I've seen lots of arguments both ways. Truth is you can probably find the evidence you are looking for to support your belief. There are several prominent Christian leaders who became believers while on a mission to disprove the bible, so hter must be some convincing evidence out there.
You will also tend to view the content of the bible (slaves, polygamy, etc.) in the light that you wish wether good or bad. The general idea is that the O.T. is a picture of man trying to attain godliness on there own, as well as the foreshadowing/prophesies of the Redeemer. The N.T. is the revelation of Jesus as redeemer because of God's great love for the peo...

This is just funny watching all you folks go back and forth....you guys are funny! Regardless of any religious beliefs. You're just funny! What other clips do you have going I can go read and get my smile on??
Yes, I'm religious. No...I am NOT going to preach. To each his or her own, dude. Whatever. If someone asks me for some preach, fine...otherwise, I keep it to myself. What's the point of getting all huffy over someone else's choices if it's not physically hurting anyone? Gawl. Do some yoga...relaaaaxxx.... Go watch Lost, or Gray's Anatomy...
You all rock! Rock on!

Ah, finally, thank you for that SabySue... my opinion exactly. I find it annoying as hell when bible thumpers pound on my door to spread their beliefs or pass me pamphlets on the street, or writing inane nonsense to the newspapers criticizing people for not believing in their Gawd.

If I feel the need to believe in a deity, I'll go seek one on my own thank you. My links in the previous message are there simply because its so irritating listening to the self-righteous preach that I end up throwing a little self-righteousness right back at them in disgust. Frankly I don't give a damn what they believe in otherwise.

Glad there are at least some religious people around who still have common sense. Happy holidays to u.
