there's a Gallup poll the that shows that the
twenty-eight percent of Americans believe that the Bible
is literally true and should be taken
as the literal truth are you one of those yes okay
I made a little less a
the things
things that are in the Bible that if we took it literally true %uh slaves must
submit themselves to their masters no matter how harsh
read it right off the bat where we're believing in slavery well
this was it this was a pretty spirited debate
in the United States in the 19th century and actually what
what occurred and the slavery have a pension
Rome which Paul was writing about was a very different kind of slavery wasn't
chattel slavery
usually because usually it was usually a form
it was usually a former indentured servitude oh come on backed Israel
route the anti-slavery movement Spartacus community bakery or seen the
movie bill
slight there's no good slavery casino I didn't say it was good
I'm not advocating it is a labor at the vibe I'm saying it was II bill is OK was
no
no it doesn't ok NB anti-slavery movement in the united by rates
came out at the church is it was a product of the Second Great Awakening
woman had I talk about that in my book ever woman has sex before she's married
the man at the city must donor to death
alright
way II to
and by all the good version a battle
what what did Jesus say
when he was presented with the adulterous and the people who wanted to
stone her to death
cited that verse he got down on his knees and he wrote in the dirt
we believe the sins of all those present and he said let he who is without sin
cast the first stone already walked away but a shame that the Bible's a
that's in the Bible if the Bible's a perfect book written by a perfect guy
why is this part in there if a woman has sex before she's married why did you
just need to come along to correct his dad
I don't care
be be close be close
me humankind has fallen and is sinful
and we all have our short of the glory of God so 402 your dad but def by your
hundred years after the Abrahamic covenant
but I metal always presented man I'm asking you but the Bible the the outer
that it said that the people think the Bible should be literally taken through
and these are the literal words in the Bible
from God I mean but bill you're ignoring the New Testament not one of those
verses occurs in the New Testament you're ignoring the new company so the
Old Testament
the Jew god he's bad I didn't say that
these bill but he said this the only thing that this bill diseases with tuna
budget by the crazy shit
G said think is good news
i'm quoting you're out you're being you're being very selective
so you're also but I sure but see that's the thing if it's perfect white boy
what I mean so I look at all if it should be perfect look at
or the turn all the paper look you know
the thing that's so annoying about that clip
is that you could tell by how ralph reed is talking
that his brain works like cuz he tries to present himself in this calm way
where he's trying to be an intelligent high minded person to explain these
different things to bill right
but it's clear that
he's decided he's gonna be a master
rationalize ur okay in other words the way that
reason in logic and rationality works is
you have to let the evidence build upon itself
until it comes to its own conclusion and you go
okay I see how it works so for example you know researchers might have gone
into the question of figuring out how all the earth is in
but they're just they don't know what the answer is spendy but he was on a set
at
one time a day I don't know how the earth s but then when you do enough
radiocarbon dating you can figure out the
with the proper ways to go about finding it outright go deep into the layers of
ice a rocker whatever however the specific way is that they find it out
then they got oh okay all the evidence points to the fact that is 4.54 billion
years old
therefore we accept it as 4.54 billion years old
didn't start with the idea that it's 4.54 billion and then work backwards
from that
just by the same token the way they figure out the age in the universe
what they do is they have these incredibly high powered but
telescopes telescopes microscopes whatever they're called the was a Google
really far out into the sky
and they figured out that oh my god there the it we're expanding the
universe is expanding and by the way that I come up with a big bang theory
because they know that if you do the math on it and you go back far enough in
time
it comes to a single point the universe was back to a single point
you need to do the calculations you measure it one day how far out are
it is gonna come back another day measure again so
what they found is when you do the math on it you realize
00 it works out to about thirteen point nine billion so they realize that the
universe had to start about thirteen point nine billion years ago
okay so they let again they let the evidence pile on itself and then they
came to the conclusion
they did but they did the the tests they did the measurements
and then they came up with the conclusion they didn't start with the
conclusion
and work backwards didn't say we won't approve its 13-point nine billion and
they work backwards
but that's what he's doing he's going the Bible has to be true because I
believe it
and therefore I'm gonna go out there when Bill Maher points out absurdities
in the Bible
I'm gonna do this little tap dance and say no but let me tell you why that
doesn't make sense and why you're wrong why the Bible still
the literal word of God even though you just said something that I disagree with
so you're aching rationalize our and also as
more was trying to point out there because the Bible is contradictory in so
many ways
not only does the New Testament in many ways contradict the Old Testament
but dole testing contradict the Old Testament and the New Testament
contradict the New Testament
is there a quote of course the majority of Jesus's stuff is all love people I'll
turn the other cheek be kind no war everybody's peaceful
big-time hippie guy but there are a few quotes in the new testament of Jesus
basically saying
let the mother fuckers burn affect OJ's reading some earlier we talking about
how
people who don't believe they will all but burn in hell so which is it dude
so there's contradictions in the New Testament the Old Testament and from the
old testament to the New Testament
and because the book is contradictory
of course by definition it's impossible for it to be literally true
you know that's like saying I have long here and I have short hair right now
that statement I have long here and I have short hair right now and then
somebody says that's literally true
will have to be literally true I either have long here or I have short hair
I can do both at the same time look at my head its water its one or the other
it's not both it can't be both it's impossible it's a logical impossibility
but they still claim no it's literally true the you have both long and short
here right now
in other words what they say is the rules have a logic
don't apply the conversation we're talking about God
well is in a fucking convenient the whole conversation is useless anyway
because no matter what we say no matter what we point out you no matter what
evidence or proof there is no matter how much we use logic or reason
irrationality
you're gonna do the tap dancing you're gonna say no I'm still right because I'm
right
and I don't care about all the things you're pointing out
well silly people talk like that
