I swear, I'm going to be giggling like a freak every time I pass by a church now!
Oh, I've got more of those.
  • The bible mentions Noah's wife five times, but she's never given a name.
  • The bible doesn't mention cats.
  • All authors of the new testament are Jewish, except for Luke
  • The ethiopian church worships Pontius Pilate as a holy person
  • Queen Elizabeth II. is anglican in England but presbyterian in scotland, but she's head of church in both countries.
  • Russian proverb (I swear I don't make this up): If God had thought, that a woman was useful, he would have been married.

There's plenty more. Not only focussing on church but only on biology, history and biographies. And I assure you I haven't ever been in the position to actually use this knowledge.

Yup, that's also about as far as I look into Bible history on a normal basis.

Same here...

Now if the Bible was in comic book format, then I would be more inclined to read it.

There is actually a German book which takes on the Bible nin a funny way. Not that I read it, but it's called "Die Bibel nach Biff" (The bible according to Biff) and it's supposed to be really funny. And there's numerous religious comic books out there. All dead boring to heaven and back.

Maybe you do the same thing you do in regular college, only you feel bad about everything you do.

Bash quote.

Well, I was baptized, went to church regularly, and even church school. Went to church events including creepy ceremonies and funerals. Other than go to a Catholic grade school and high school, I was purly Catholic.

Then, as I grew up, I began to question my religion... the Bible... the "laws"... my faith.

I eventually had no faith in my religion any more.

I now try to make sense of the universe through my perseption rather than what is writen in some book... though, usually I just accept things as they are without putting too much thought into it.

There are things that will never be answered. Not by anyone or any writen script.

Hey, as long as you're comfortable with it. I'm a man of science, and after much education, I've had ideas in my head that contradict God's words. There are so many laws in the bible that if they were all strictly enforced, Lucifer would have a hard time finding room for everyone. The bible really is a long and drawn out way of saying "help someone out if they need it and do what you think is the right thing." It's very simple if you think about it, and it's also not hard to do.

But I'm going to stop there, because religion discussions aren't allowed.

Too bad we had to stop it before I started replying. Typical. Everyone bashes and/or makes blatant misconceptions about your religion and as soon as you come to defend it or correct them, the "no religion discussion" rule gets dropped. Oh well. I've come to expect it.

Moving right along

What a Bible College really is is a private school where people come to specifically focus on ministry training. Like say, medical school for doctors to be. As a minister in training, Bible college is ideal for me. It's fully accredited just like any other college or school, but it's also equipped with courses on practical ministry skills and there are classes covering each book of the Bible, some that obviously cover well more than one book, as there are several books in the Bible.

We also have math, english and science classes that we have to take, you can't escape those.
