Nothing physical which sense-experience sets before our eyes, or which necessary demonstrations prove to us, ought to be called in question (much less condemned) upon the testimony of biblical passages...

The church has opposed every innovation and discovery from the day of galileo down to our own time, when the use of anesthetics in childbirth was regarded as a sin because it avoided the biblical curse pronounced against eve.

I was educated, i was trained, i was a presbyterian and i knew how these things are done. I knew that in biblical times if a man committed a sin the extermination of the whole surrounding nation-cattle and all-was likely to happen. I knew that providence was not particular about the rest, so that he got somebody connected with the one he was after.

Prophet just means intellectual. They were people giving geopolitical analysis, moral lessons, that sort of thing. We call them intellectuals today. There were the people we honor as prophets, there were the people we condemn as false prophets. But if you look at the biblical record, at the time, it was the other way around. The flatterers of the court of king ahab were the ones who were honored. The ones we call prophets were driven into the desert and imprisoned.

Theology is a non-subject. I'm not saying that professors of theology are non-professors. They do interesting things, like study biblical history, biblical literature. But theology, the study of gods, the study of what gods do, presupposes that gods exist. The only kind of theology that i take account of are those theological arguments that actually argue for the existence of god.

The value of the old testament may be dependant on what seems its imperfection. it may repel one use in order that we may be forced to use it in another way-to find the word in it...to re-live, while we read, the whole jewish experience of god's gradual and graded self-revelation, to feel the very contentions between the word and the human material through which it works.

The human qualities of the raw materials show through. naivety, error, contradiction, even (as in the cursing psalms) wickedness are not removed. the total result is not "the word of god" in the sense that every passage in itself, gives impeccable science or history. it carries the word of god.

There is nothing else than now. there is neither yesterday, certainly, nor is there any tomorrow. how old must you be before you know that? there is only now, and if now is only two days, then two days is your life and everything in it will be in proportion. this is how you live a life in two days. and if you stop complaining and asking for what you never will get, you will have a good life. a good life is not measured by any biblical span.

The bible is very easy to understand. But we christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly.

What we are left with then is the present, the only time where miracles happen. we place the past and the future as well into the hands of god. the biblical statement that time shall be no more means that we will one day live fully in the present, without obsessing about past or future.

Biblical archaeology was developed early in this century in an effort to substantiate the authenticity of the biblical account. It's by now generally recognized in biblical scholarship that it has done the opposite. The bible is not a historical text, and has only vague resemblances to what took place, as far as can be reconstructed. For example, whether israel ever existed is not clear; if so, it was probably a small kingdom somewhere in the hills, apparently virtually unknown to the egyptians.

I think this is irresponsible preaching and very dangerous, and especially when it is slanted toward children, i think it's totally irresponsible, because i see nothing biblical that points up to our being in the last days, and i just think it's an outrageous thing to do, and a lot of people are making a livingthey've been making a living for 2,000 yearspreaching that we're in the last days.

To be fair, much of the bible is not systematically evil but just plain weird, as you would expect of a chaotically cobbled-together anthology of disjointed documents, composed, revised, translated, distorted and 'improved' by hundreds of anonymous authors, editors and copyists, unknown to us and mostly unknown to each other, spanning nine centuries
