I believe in Christ. I don't believe in all the bullshit about an old man on a boat with a million animals.
No contradiction here.
By the way, that entire statement is a contradiction. How can you only believe that part of the bible? Don't you realize what verified him was his resurrection?
Only like 2 members are 27.
Believing in God is one thing, (called a Deist), you have to believe in the Bible to believe Christ lived this remarkable life and is the son of God, if not God. (Subsist will hound me, yes Muslims believe so as well)
You can say that a lot of the bible is metaphor. If you don't want to believe in superstition.
The most important part about being a Christian and understanding Christianity is the resurrection of Jesus.
If you don't believe Jesus died for your sins and resurrected in three days. You really don't believe the bible. Therefore you're not a Christian.
Maybe, you just like the killing children, raping, and slavery, part of it. I don't know.
I don't mean to sound condescending and maybe somebody here, who is actually a Christian would care to clarify the importance of the bible.
I'll stop putting my input, if you're a Deist. That's another - more rational discussion in itself.
Plus, if you don't care to think about it in them complex terms. Religious means to follow religion. If you don't follow a religion then why are you claiming you're a Christian, when being a Christian is being a part of the Christian religion. Hmm?
I'm glad the great philosophical mind, "the game" has cemented your values and thinking. (kidding)
I've said the same shit as well as millions of other people. Hence the reason, I'm agnostic.
Don't throw stones.
