What’s so wrong with the Bible? It only advocates killing off everyone who disagrees with you.


I think the mythical Jesus sounds like a friendly dude. The real Jesus would likely have treated gentiles with contempt.

Not the next morning. On the morning after, I would prefer it to remain water.

Double that if it's the boxed pink sugar water my parents like to drink.

Yeah. I was mostly referring to the Old Testament.

Jesus wasn’t too bad compared to other blokes of the time period if he actually said any of the things that are attributed to him.

I was baptized at 15. It was awkward because a crowd was watching me and clapped afterwards. Some, including my mom, cried. I felt self conscious.

I have lots of pictures of it.

The water was nice and warm, though.

I was never baptized. I guess I was raised a heathen, so I'm going straight to hell when I die. :twisted:

One of the baptisms involved sitting in a bathtub at the back of the church with a crowd of 40 people being nearly drowned as my head was pushed underwater.

Isn't that the thing about God though , it doesn't matter to him if you a complete heathen as long as you repent before you die - or am I getting that wrong.

If hell scares you , just repent before your croak :lol:
