I would like to take this time to remind everyone that the term "throwing a hot dog down a hallway" was almost certainly popularized by its use in an episode of Family Guy, spoken by Stewie Griffin to two prostitutes.

Thank you.

Pretty sure I first heard this phrase in high school circa 1994, long before Family Guy. It's probably older than that, like that one stylized pointy S everyone remembers drawing in their Trapper Keeper.

This is a while back, and was old news to most people but the "Nike" stuff was something I didn't know about.

And it is just so horrifyingly misogynistic, even by JimBob standards.

The women, who are forbidden to work and told how to dress and coif their hair, and are considered either baby machines or flithy tempting whores, (even at 5 years old), are required to be the guardians of men's virtue by telling them to avert their eyes whenever they may encounter a *gasp* woman in the wild.

So not only are women to blame, and carry teh sin for causing male lust, no matter how inadvertently they do it, they also have to police that lust and are probably found sinful and lacking if they fail.

"It's not my fault I molested my 5 year old sister. It is your fault for not telling me to look down when I saw that sexy bitches sexy ankles in the street yesterday. And it is my sisters fault for being so alluring. Shame on you."

gently caress you Jim Bob. gently caress you and all who think like you.

I'm pretty sure this is like the same thing they do in mideastern culture where the women are tempting whores unless fully covered. Now it would work just fine, except our culture doesn't give a gently caress, so women dress temptingly beyond their control which means the guys need a way to avoid without looking. It's not so much as the women being responsible for the virtue of men (Though i've no doubt they'd blame the women if they didn't say nike soon enough) but that they really have no other way to handle the situation...you know except be human and control yourself

Which Bible version is the best for a dirty atheist to read? There seem to be a dozen popular translations.


Douay–Rheims

It's an English translation from the Latin Vulgate which was compiled from the original scriptures. Prob the most accurate.

What God wants, God gets, God help us all
If you seriously want to read the Bible (lit. Book) then I suggest a study bible that lays out the different books and tells you about the author, when it was written, who it was written for, why it was written, what style it was written in, (poetry is not history is not allegory is not legalease etc) and maybe pick up a solid reading plan that groups the books by theme, and relation to each other. Don't forget the apocrypha! First and Second Maccabees, at the very least. They actually explain what happened right before Jesus was born and thus why the Jews were waiting for a messiah in the first place.

Reading cover to cover straight through with no context is frustrating, nonsensical and terrible. Pick up some commentaries too. Then check out how modern Jews practice their religion. Then maybe look into church history and the different major sects. poo poo will begin to make a lot more sense that way.

TL;DR reading and understanding the bible is a large undertaking that will take a lot of time and effort.

Most Christians I know rarely even crack the fucker open and I'm an atheist.

Oh yeah, then there's apologetics...

KJV was the rantings of a very gay king, which was realized through a poo poo translation of a greek book.
But the takeaway here is that the king was historically proven to be very, very gay.

Having 19 children is loving deplorable in my opinion and this family and the Bates family represent the epitome of first world problems. Its simply narcissism. It would still be a poo poo show even if the parents never forced their extreme religious customs & other antisocial bullshit on the children. IIRC they force their kids to have a chaperone around on dates and they can't even do a "chest on chest" hug—only "side hugs". :wtf: Simply holding hands is only allowed when engaged. Can't have a kiss until their wedding day. Jim Bob probably tells the boys to go read the Bible every time they ask him what a wet dream is. Imagine growing up in a household which teaches you this poo poo from the moment you're self aware in the middle of nowhere. Jim Bob really wonders and asks with a straight face why a few of his cattle grow up deranged & confused. gently caress this rear end in a top hat.

Does this site look good, and does this have most of the apocrypha in it? It has Macabees in the middle of the Old Testament, along with good looking introductions before each book.

E: every study guide im finding is stupid, is there something specific that will bring up ones that actually tell you what books mean what to which and all that? ...or maybe do you just remember a good one?

Well no of course not. The Vulgate was compiled in the 10th century. So even it's English translation is circumspect but I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic schools until I was 18. The DR version was the best I could find in my research that was as accurate as possible and would make the most sense given my theological education.

I'm an athetits and it wasn't until then that I decided to actually read the thing.

It's older than that, but uses a limited subset of several known textual traditions, and before the discovery of things like the Dead Sea Scrolls. Basically every decent modern translation will be better than the Vulgate even when read in Latin.

That said, there won't me that much variance. And pretty much all modern translations are fine from an academic standpoint. You can probably count on one hand places where translational differences make a significant theological difference between denominations or even religions, eg, "young woman" vs. "virgin" in Isaiah 7:14.

I think that's not simplified enough for apologetics. It's more like "The bible means what it says and is completely right and inerrant unless it says something I don't like" since you'll see that it's not always bonkers or horrible things that draw the apologetics crowds

I have the Legacy Study Bible. It's got a fair bit of info for each chapter and room for notes on every page etc. it's the Hank Hanegraaf one. I got the leather one because it's nice. Also has an associated study plan I believe. It's been a few years since I did any bible poo poo, so I may have to check that out.
