I'm going to stay neutral on this, since I'm a very existential agnostic. but, your thoughts? |

There is a big difference between God and the Bible.

There is a big difference between God and the Bible. I didn't say there wasn't a difference. And the cartoon is just saying that it causes a loop when a Christian tries to explain why they believe in the Bible. |

Irrilevant. 1- It's spelled *Irrelevant*. 2- It's very relevant because it's a cartoon commenting on the arguments for believing in Christianity and this is the religion forum section. |

The cartoon reminds of current day politics. Thoughtless mud slinging to ridicule others.
Why is it that we don't see any of this drivel attacking Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Budhism, Agnosticism or Atheism? Fair is fair, yes? |

 Some religions believe that their sacred writings are "god". A lot of Christians believe this too but they will not admit it because they know it sounds silly. They are the ones who are obsessed with quoting scripture. You can tell this by the emphasis they put on exact wording of the "Holy Scriptures".

Though I agree I don't see poking fun to Atheism. It's because we're living in a technological/ scientific age. |

I don't think it's silly to believe sacred writings are God. I believe it is silly to believe something without knowing why youi believe in it, whether it be a valid argument or a religious experience. I heart you Mirror!

I see a lot of attacks on other religions as well. I love to study them all. All of the ancient religions are constantly under attack. But as far as I can tell, they always have been.

I meant irrelevant to me. I could not care less about the bible and religious myths and fables in general. |

I never meant to say that I thought it was silly. I was just saying that alot of people who believe that the bible is "God" wont admit it because they are afraid of being mocked. I respect almost all religious beliefs. I love it.

I Have to agree to quote is easier than to live. I feel society has lost its fundamental morality. God should not be reflected as a thought or concept. I believe in all religions God is something more than ourselves a level of us we should strive to be more like embedded their are common good. The bible is the propaganda used validate belief.

I meant irrelevant to me. I could not care less about the bible and religious myths and fables in general. Then it's very relevant. You posted discussing on how the Bible is a myth. If you have some sort of opinion, something is relevant. And if you think it's so irrelevant to you ,why waste your time discussing about it? Posts are meant for people who are interested to respond. Posts I'm uninterested in I don't respond to. |

Oh, I didn't mean to say you did. I was just saying 
I respect all religious beliefs as well. So much so that I used to be a pluralist (Though I know better now, lol) I think this cartoon is interesting though, because it says a lot with few words. |

People have difficulty understanding religion because quite frankly some people are better at understanding it than others. There is a lot of confusion about all of the ancient religions because for centuries there have been people teaching others falsehoods and misconceptions.

When did society have this "fundamental morality"? What society and what years did this society have this "fundamental morality"?

The so called "Gods" that humans worship are not dead. They are more alive than ever in world affairs.
