Bible time?

Are you asking someone to judge you? I don't think that's what we should be doing.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Hell doesn't exist, so don't worry about it...

I read my bible (New Testament, as it's the only one I have) bi-nightly. Unfortunately, unless I'm feeling particularly inspired every 2/4 days, then most of the time, I think I feel like I read it out of necessity. Prayer is usually genuine though.

Sometimes there'll be weeks and weeks where we don't go to church, but we've gone for the last few weeks just recently. It's somewhat sporadic depending on my parent's work schedule.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Is there a reason why you don't read the old testament?

FELIPE NO

I don't read the big "B" & I dont go to church but my Gym trainer is a pastor & he talks abotu a few tings here & there & I must say there pretty amazing!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Then why don't you find out that stuff for yourself then?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh it's not because of personal preference or anything like that. I received a bible for free in fifth grade and it was the red-covered new testament + psalms and proverbs from the Gideon group or something. I just go by the suggested readings at the front for each day of the year, I don't know if my habit would still exist if I had the complete bible. I can't be bothered to buy a new one unfortunately, because I don't see a pressing need :S

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well all of the text of the bible in nearly ever translation and version is available online.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Some missionaries at downtown accosted me yesterday asking me if I went to church and bible study.

I lied and said I did.

Most amazing jew boots

Why even bother to lie?

I've not read it cover-to-cover, but I know the basics. I've tried reading it, but it's horrible grammar/sentence structure lost me pretty quick.

I've never taken the time to find one that's easier to read simply because I feel that I know the basics of it, and the other "filler" is pretty useless in comparison.

Obviously, I don't go to church.

Probably because she(?) didn't want to hear them preach.

I'd have told them to fuck off, personally.

Personally I think if you grew up in America or any other predominately Christian society, it's pretty impossible not to know the Bible on some level. Perhaps not as well as some of the more devout but I'm not Christian at all and I'm fairly well versed in the good book.

In my high school, honor and AP English classes had several weeks devoted to the Old and New Testament. Even though we weren't suppose to read it as a religious text but a collection of stories, we were still forced to read and write on it as opposed to say, the Koran.

Because I would have been harassed for much longer than I would have liked to. And while I would have been more than happy to stay and call them bigots, I was in a rush.

Now that I think of it, I should have hit them. They had literally cornered me against a wall but I could have taken them on.

How ya doing, buddy?

I remember trying to read the Bible when I was a kid but got bored and played my Sega Megadrive instead. I was christened but my parents don't go to church and i'm not even sure how religious they are it's not a common discussion in this household. I'm an athiest now, I believed in God when I was a kid because you tend to go along with anything at a young age and when you get to a certain age where you have a bit more independant thinking that's where you decide if you believe in God or not.

Well you could have just ignored the pushy dickheads.
