      Recent history.

      Also wasn't is put together by a king and his advisors subsequently picking and choosing what was canon. Then he used the canon book as a way to keep peasants from knowing the direct word of god. As in only a priest who could read could tell you what it meant.

      The book has a VERY bloody history and most of the stuff Jesus says has nothing to do with following and worshiping a book like its God's word and he was(according to modern translation and interpretation) the literal son of God.

      Kinda seems as silly as looking at the creations made in the name of God as symbols of his power(chapels and everything in the Vatican basically) because Jesus didn't value or teach the valuing of large gaudy and ostentatious structures.

        You're deeply biased and misinformed
        Constantine himself had nothing to do with deciding on the canon, other than summoning the leading theologians to discuss it and decide for unities sake. FYI Constantine himself sympathized with the now considered heretical sect, not the trinitarians, so the idea that he somehow "decided" and used it to restrict "peasants from knowing the word of God" is absurd.
        You're combining multiple events into 1, not that you care about consistency.

          I'm not biased but I definitely didn't have all the facts. I though a lot of that happened around the same time, but thanks for clarifying. Knowing when I'm severely misinformed/wrong helps me be a little more accurate in the future lol.

      Can you justify your burning disgust with objectivity, or are you just a pussy

        Of course it’s objectivity as regards the post where I directly say I developed it after learning more of the source material and its context. Your reading comprehension is on the level of a literal moron and you‘re a homosexual.

    it's the one thing where you should study secondary lit first like cs lewis. society has poisoned you against it so you need some charitable sense of what it's getting at. the semitic worldview is almost completely alien to whites.

            Then you are not talking about the Bible, you are talking about the Torah.

    Honestly? To understand the jokes, memes and references. I feel insane when I make a basic bible reference and my interlocutor says they don't know what I'm talking about because they didn't grow up Christian. You don't have to believe in skydaddy but for frick's sake, have some culture.

      Some legitimacy in the fact that writers like Petrarch, Shakespeare have allusions as such but these really don’t comprise the better part of their work. It‘s a wildly inferior culture only to be gotten around to once anon has read the Greeks, Romans, general history, folklore, romantics, etc. etc.

        Fair, I agree with you.
        Genesis and Eclesiastes are interesting though
