Discussion about religion bashing

[Shadow Wolf]

I KNOW not all Jehova's Witnesses are bad (I know a couple that are actually good people and not fanatical about pushing their views on you) but DAMN.

Well, it all depends on the person. I'm a Jehovah Witness's myself, but I have to admit that some people can be... how can I say it... a little hard to deal with.

You see, being of a certain religion does not automatically means that we are more reasonable than others. I might consider myself to be a little more flexible than others (BTW, if you have questions about us, let me know; I'll be glad to answer but of course, I'm not here to debate or to win religious topic but for reasoning and a nice conversations). As I heard in a movie: "Religion has flaws because men have flaws."

At least you're not Jehova's Witness, no matter what they will ALWAYS annoy me with their stupid knocking on doors and trying to talk about the "word of god"

I don't know whether to laugh because I imagine you feeling angry (I'm not being sarcastic though) and stuff or to feel bad about this. I'll make a single question, but of course, this question is not for raising angry comments or anything, just to think about it.

"If you've knew about a doctor who can cure death, and you're getting the treatment to be healed from death, wouldn't you try to tell others as soon as possible about this doctor?" Well, something like this is what we do (Apo. 21:1-4; Mat. 24:14)

About 8am... well, you can tell them to visit on another time to talk about it, since that is the time you use for sleeping. I'm pretty sure that they will understand that.

What movie is this from? I need to know so I can throw it in preachy people's faces whenever they try their "God wrote the Bible." bullshit on me to win arguments.

As someone who has spent 2 years studying Theology, I am often incredibly bemused by people who claim religious scriptures such as the Bible are in no way tainted or tampered with by man, either through lack of recollection of events, misinterpretation, purposefully forging accounts for some other goal or otherwise misrepresenting how events occurred, even though much of the Bible remained largely uncodified through oral tradition and in differing forms for great lengths of time, sometimes not even written down until hundreds of years after the events described actually happened. To say that the original accounts were passed down through the years entirely unmolested, and that the original source is completely untainted in the first place, is simply baffling. Furthermore, there is no Canonical claim that the Bible was in anyway authored by God, and anyone who says otherwise you can safely call an ignorant twit. I hold little stock in the accuracy of the Bible but I probably know far more about it than 99% of Christians out there.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great book, but attempting to follow it literally, word-for-word, is silly, just like thinking books like Harry Potter or Twilight encourage children to practice the dark arts and sorcery is silly.
