Im sure in this show, they didn't act out those fun scenes of baby killing, rape, and slavery.

Now that's a show I can watch!

I agree with the original poster.  Hollywood should make an actual bible movie and not cherry pick what gets put in it.  Lets see those genitals that look like horses, and emissions like donkeys!  Lets see some of that slave trading - or maybe a good old fashioned stoning (all god approved of course)!!  Maybe we can see a few women who cant talk to their husbands or teach their children.  And maybe we can actually see how Noah got all of those animals to behave with each other, and collected over 1 billion species of insects (Im guessing butterfly net).

Im all for this.  How can we get this done?

But we have freewill to do what we wish or believe/not believe, which in itself is a great gift to me.

Dirt, the world is full of sinners, a politician here or there really doesn't matter. I will never defend a politician that's a fraud. I wouldn't vote for Marion Barry, Bill Clinton, or Sanford after their discressions. 



why is it so important for you to believe that when you die this isn't it? why would anyone want to live forever? What do you think it's going to be like? You sit around with all the people who died (who aren't in "hell") and sing kumbaya? What makes you think it will be any different from before you were born? You won't know you're dead because you are dead...

I have an answer to that.

How about the entire paradise looks like Augusta National?
I would like to learn how to explore the universe, play drums like Neal Peart, master an infinite number of instruments.

Think of the freedom. Do you really belive that your "free" in this life?

We're enslaved with bodies that breakdown, mental issues, stress, governments, etc. etc. etc.

The belief is that all that goes away. No disease, no government, no "accidents", nothing of the sort. Now you can believe that when you die that lifes over, I just don't. Bible states "the meek shall inherit the earth". I like that.

Have a good day Sys.

Fuk this bible propaganda bull garbage. This is the most watched cable show?

What a sad observation. The madness and ignorance propagated by this relilgion will be the finger that presses the reset button. It will be a death by a thousand cuts. An embrace of ignorance and introlerance.

 You're only here for a short while.......... best do what you can to be productive instead of worrying about/trying to plan what happens when you're gone.

I posed this question to some spiritual friends of mine. The problem is our paradigm doesn't fit into a perfect system. In a perfect system you won't be bored. The earth is to be returned to a paradise. It's impossible to wrap your brain around that concept, but we weren't designed to live as we do today. You'll never have to ask anyone "How their doing?" - you'll already know.

I agree that it sounds crazy but the Bible is full of prophecies that all have come true. The meek shall inherit the earth. When I first heard that, my response was the the meek inherit lint. I think differently know after a lot of studying.

It's the greatest book ever written and if you would live by it, you'd have a much better chance of being happy in life.

For instance where does stealing, lying, cheating on the wife, etc. get you? Possible jail time or guilt time? The bible is a roadmap to live a clean life, all the haters should at least investigate it. Even if you don't believe in The Bible, the show is at least great entertainment and well done.

I watched it and found "The Bible" to be very interesting.  No one will have the same exact interpretation of the Bible from page one, to the last pages of Revelation.  People will always disagree with certain view points.  I watched the 10 hour series, found it interesting, and to some degree educational.

DL, I know that was just a smart behind ? correct.

From creation, to Noah, Moses, person enslavement thru Jesus Christ birth, death & resurrection. I'd say that the shows about The Bible - YES.

And I don't think kids being brought up in Bible principles blow up the school, or kill their classmates very often. Like ah, NEVER. The people with no belief system or faith are the ones causing the mayhem. I never heard that the Tucson murderer, the Newtown murderer or the Aurora murderer ever attended any religious oriented activities. If they did, I'm sure the degenerate media would LOVE to exploit that fact.

System, did the Columbine bastards look like they had any belief system at all? I'm talking about a Christian belief system not the friggin insane jihadist, they've been brainwashed - plain and simple. If you believe killing people is going to get you somewhere with God, your our of you ever loving. Assholes that are willing to kill someone elses kids and think their going to get 72 virgins. Hopefully, they'll be dust in the new world.

You know Sys if "Do unto others as you would have done to you" the world would be a much different place if that basic value was applied. Wouldn't you agree? 

I'm all ears Sys.

didnt the columbine kids have their own manifesto and belief system that their killings made sense?

hasnt religion resulted in wars and millions maybe billions of people killed in the name of religion?

isnt it a religiously fueled belief system the fuel to alot of terrorism in the world?

Sounds like this show is just propaganda for the christian taliban...

FALSE RELIGION DL - FALSE!

The Columbine kids? That's how your trying to make an argument - yeah they had a manifesto of hate, how's that fit the discussion?

Great mindset DL, I believe a true Christian wouldn't support or fight a war. What branch of the military would Jesus be in? Makes no sense does it?

Good luck with your belief system dl. Did you even watch the show?

so can we conclude from this that people who "look like they have a belief system" don't commit mass shootings while people who look like they don't have a believe system are more prone to commit mass shootings, without any evidence whatsoever as to whether they do in fact have a belief system and if they do, what in fact that belief system is?

First of all, just because its insane to you, doesn't mean it's insane to them. It's still their belief system, and to them just as sane as yours.

Second, people do s h i t t y things everyday (including killing) backed by their crazy religion...

You don't need to be religious to live by "do one to others"....

I didn't watch the show...had enough brainwashing via 12 years of Catholic education.  Thankfully I was able to learn to think for myself and not blindly follow what was presented to me as morality.
I do find it funny that this miniseries has its own book. In essence there is a book that was made into a TV show that has its own book about the series.
People are so friggin stupid....

What exactly is my belief system you are so admitmently against?  


I dont think I ever talk about my belief system on this thread... 

Perhaps it is your belief system that has programmed you to respond in such a condescending manner...


So you are saying as a Christian you have a history of voting against the GOP/neo"Cons" in the 21st century because they have paired the Christian god and religion with waging war and invading the wrong country in response to 9/11 that did not have WMDs?

Lets get real here...  The reality is that I am still deciding whether to watch the show or not... but with a open mind I am asking questions...

Like...

Is the show is actually about the bible? or is it fiction?

Sounds like it is similar to the history channel and other networks that produce shows about the prophecies of end times by the mayans or nostradamus...  but because of the nature of the program appears to have  a much higher "wacko factor" to it...

Probably a good show if you take it for what it really sounds like it is... problem is that there is a probably a large number of people that dont... so with this along with obama look alike... it sounds like alot  "wacko factor" to me...  but thats just what this thread seems to be displaying

Funny DL, it didn't even cross my mind that the devil resembled Obama until after I heard about it. It's a slight resemblance and I'll bet it was unintentional. 

I'm not questioning your belief system nor do I have any problem what you believe as long as it wouldn't harm anyone. It's still a free country to believe in what you wish to. I was responding to those 2 inhumane pieces of garbage from Columbine that right some b.s. down and somehow you enter them into this discussion. It doesn't fit.

The show is about The Bible. It follows the stories very closely. People that I know who are biblical scholars say it follows it very closely. Ain't no wacko factor here.

The only thing they had a problem with was when Moses parts the Red Sea. The story goes that 2-3M people crossed it meaning it had to open real wide for this to happen. It's not depicted like that on the show. Watch the show and make your own judgments.

Yes... this is what I was trying to say...

It makes sense in their belief system...  so the presence or absence of a belief system is a non-factor...  It is what the belief system as them think, act and assume...

Please raise your hand if you believe the bible to be history.

Now smack yourself in the head and wake up.

Yes, I am a Christian.
