    Is it possible for you to explain without referencing the Bible?

        Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

        Nope

        My favourite thing about that video is that it uses deception and misrepresentation and lies (Come on, it even refers to Bart Ehrman as a “pious protestant”), exact tools satan would use 😂. It does capture satan’s personality perfectly though, pretending to be the good guy.

              Woa, never met anyone who actually took Christianity that literal. That must be a wild experience to believe in literal devil and god, sin and all that stuff - that’s a trip and a half. Kind of speechless - that’s just wild.

                Do suppose the only “Christian” you know is Schrödinger’s Catholic 😂 You mustn’t get out much

                  I don’t think that was a very charitable comment. I haven’t anyone that believes in the Bible in a literal way either. I’ve heard people say the stories are mostly allegory and to practice the message of the Bible and the like.

                    That’s insane. It’s a shame how far we’ve fallen.

      Did you even read the original comment?

      Would you be kind enough to help me pinpoint which part of Christianity suggests this, specifically?

      What else could I use?

        I don’t know, I guess I was curious because this seems so important to you and I wasn’t expecting you to hinge your whole belief system on one ancient book.

        I wasn’t raised around religion nor have I ever really been around it, so I find it fascinating. My, bad, I guess it was a big ask.

          Yes? Because they are attestations of a guy who literally rose from the dead and fulfilled many verifiably older prophecies. We literally have surviving copies of prophecies about Jesus that were made before He was born. I’m sorry if I’m coming across as irate. Literally had someone tell me that it would be better if I and basically everyone I hold dear to me was dead. Along with 4 billion other people.

          The Bible isn’t one book. It’s a library of 66 books spanning thousands of years.
