YouVersion is a great bible app, has multiple translations, etc.
For me it's just the old testament.
Ok rabbi
GNU Emacs documentation is my Bible

Biblehub is great for checking how badly creationists interpret Genesis in particular, and just how badly they misquote other passages in general.
Did you travel back in time to 2012 or why are you still talking about creationists on the online?
I wish I were living under your rock. Do you have space I can rent?
You mean 2006? 2012 was nothing but US politics and people gushing over e-celebs
>Those who toil and live in want all their lives are taught by religion to be submissive and patient while here on earth, and to take comfort in the hope of a heavenly reward. But those who live by the labour of others are taught by religion to practise charity while on earth, thus offering them a very cheap way of justifying their entire existence as exploiters and selling them at a moderate price tickets to well-being in heaven. Religion is opium for the people. Religion is a sort of spiritual booze, in which the slaves of capital drown their human image, their demand for a life more or less worthy of man.

has anyone found a way to crack logos?
Imagine believing in a fairytale about an invisible man in the sky who created the universe.
>imagine
This is what you are doing right now. Imagine nothing. No existence. Feel free to explain how something comes from that? I will be happy thinking the creator of all things, which is outside his creation, has decided to share with us his purpose _for_ us.
Fear God and keep his simple commandments. So easy yet so hard.
sounds like a cope to me
Allow me to intervene.
We observe that reality exists.
I assert that reality has always existed.
Therefore there was never "nothing", never "no existence".
>imagine nothing
>hurr I can't butt I can imagine there always having been
I enjoy logic as given to us by our creator as much as the next man. Thank you for sharing your opinion.
>explain how something came from nothing
>i don't believe there was ever nothing
>NO YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE THERE WAS NOTHING
Your god must be flawed.
>what was there before the universe?
>it was always there
>REEEE THERE WAS NOTHING BEFORE EXPLAIN THAT!!!
>what was there before god?
>he was always there
>oh okay rabbi, shalom.and here's your monthly shekel allowance
so this is how skykike fags cope
i make the following argument in good faith (pun intended):
>I assert that reality has always existed.
that doesn't make sense though.
in reality we know that earth and the sun and everything material indeed exists. how did it come to be though?
how did earth come to be? how did the materials, the matter, come into existence? by what process did it turn into the things we see today?
I honestly think it takes more faith to believe that things (and life, people) came randomly out of nothing than to believe in a creator
>I honestly think it takes more faith to believe that things (and life, people) came randomly out of nothing
Again you're using that word "nothing".
so you're saying the earth and everything in it just always existed? or all the matter in the universe just always existed? and just randomly turned into everything we see today?
The conversion of energy to matter and matter to energy is a known and observed phenomenon.
One principle of nature is that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
It does follow from this that though matter may not have always existed, energy could be though of as eternal.
And physical processes aren't random.
so you're saying the universe was just all raw energy at some point, and this energy has always just existed eternally, and then at some point all the right physical processes just happened to start occuring perfectly to create everything we see today? some energy turned into the planets, and other energy turned into the sun, and then other energy turned into water and then wouldn't you know it millions of years later we have humans? no purpose, no reason, just a bunch of energy in the universe and eventually humans and that's it?
Essentially, yes.
Problem?
aside from the fact that it makes no sense?
What doesn't make sense about it?
Many of the processes involved are known and observed. Even predictions like the existence of the CMB were correct.
that these processes just decided to up and make themselves happen all perfectly in such a way that they made life and everything around us. if you're gonna believe that energy just always eternally existed and that it just happened to create everything, how's that much different from believing an eternal being eternally existsed and decided to create everything? both require you to believe something, but someone intentionally making things happen makes more sense to me logically than energy processing itself perfectly by chance
>that these processes just decided to up and make themselves happen all perfectly in such a way that they made life and everything around us.
They don't decide anything, they just do the things they do.
The sea doesn't decide to erode out an arch in rock, but it happens. Water doesn't decide to freeze into highly variable snowflakes, it's just a result of the natural processes.
We see how stars work, fusing hydrogen into helium and then into heavier elements until they die and fling those heavier elements out into space. We see stars with planetary discs and planets forming in them.
Now all the bases that make up RNA (maybe DNA too) have been found on comets or meteorites, which suggests a natural process of forming them, too.
If a god did created the universe, it has gone out of its way to make it look like it didn't. In that case the argument from perfection is equally strong for something like living in a simulation. Regardless of either being true the only reasonable choice is to act like neither is because neither is apparent.
Holy popsci
The fact that you are able to observe it doesn't mean you came up with it.
If a dog goes to a forest and finds a shitton of tasty bones just because a bunch of deer died of hunger, it doesn't mean there is a dog god that placed the bones there for him as part of his divine plan, it doesn't mean that only a dog could come up with the idea of making bones tasty, and it doesn't mean dogs invented forests. He's just a fucking dog, and it's extremely retarded to conclude the world is nothing but a dog-tailored forest simply because "the coincidence is just too damn much" for his dog eyes that have never met a Taiwanese man working at a semiconductor company making microchips to tag dogs (he didn't invent dogs or deer either).
What's so hard to believe about this? It's pretty weird that people have such a hard time understanding that processes can emerge out of nature, and it's almost selfish thinking that literally nothing but a humanoid is capable of creating anything ever. They'd see the lines formed in the sand by desert winds and say "intelligent life had to cause this????" because it is absolutely unimaginable to them that any human-detectable pattern is not created by human-like brains, and according to them absolutely everything is planned by a central authority.
For fuck's sake, stop attributing every single little thing to a god or a human. The universe is way more than just the whims of a single agent, and your arrogant israeli fanfiction sure as hell isn't the center of it.
Both you and that anon are making absolutely dogshit tier arguments but you are an order of magnitude dumber than he is. I will not elaborate.
Suggesting everything made ever had to be planned by a sole agent is not a good argument either, and I already elaborated on that.

There are also many other versions that use the same format essentially, such as implementations for the greek bible or latin vulgate
Modern English Translation
It makes it really easy to see all the contradictions when you don't have to mentally translate it yourself
If you disagree with this translation, you must only read it in the original greek.

The Amish are turning in their graves.
The Amish and the bible say that when you die, you no longer have any portion in this world. Your thoughts cease. The only turning in our graves will be us back into dust.
You should install one of these programs and read for yourself.
Wrong!
technology was invented by science, religion should stay away from it
Religion is the reason modern science exist. There is a reason why pretty much all of the ivy league schools started out as religious institutions. Science being separate from religion is a recent thing brought on by cringe atheist like Dawkins.

The Ben Stein interview is so funny.
>Ben: Do you believe in a creator
>Dick: No.
>Ben: Oh.
>Dick: But we might have been created by aliens.
lol, I am just glad Dick isn't into technology.
Because religions had the money, yes.
And they still have far too much money, honestly. How many more mega churches do you need?
science was invented by religion
now-a-days, Science is a religion.

I only use physical versions of the Necronomicon.
I usually read from the physical bible, however if I want additional clarification on a verse I use Catena. It is a collection of Church Father's and Saint's writings related to each verse.
none, because i don't believe in israeli mythology
>le translations
Just learn Hebrew, Aramaic and ancient Greek, you shitter.

I use that one too
>Still being religious despite all the human made technology around him. We have electron microscopes and deep space telescopes, if "he" was out there we would have detected him by now.
That's like trying to learn what a transistor is by messing around inside a video-game world.
How are science fags so short sighted.
We're all just users in a system. Just because we don't see the admin doesn't mean the admin isn't there taking care of things.
All this technology and still no clue why or how we are concious, what even is conciousness, what happens after death, why the world exists, why people develop schizophrenia, etc. Technology has not done anything to explain the human experience. Arguably, it has only opened more questions.
