The Bible is well worth studying as a piece of literature since just about everything that was written after it draws from it.
Actually believing in it may be worth less, but knowing it is, as the kids say, a "must".

>>10856615

i've been there. it's mental insanity.

>jack posting is already just yt celebrity shilling and not /ck/ related
>why don't people talk about an even less /ck/ related aspect of this yt spam

Fuck off.

>>10857047
The bible is worth reading once. Bible "study" is the most retarded waste of time imaginable.

What are your thoughts about the Iliad and Odyssey?
Do they warrant a single reading?

>>10857123
Video games are also packed with Bible references.

>>10857162
yeah but i don't study and discuss video game bible references and try to model my life around them and journal about them and pray about them like these bible study goobers

>>10857162
>the Iliad and Odyssey?
>Do they warrant a single reading?

Of course. But the people who read them more than once and study them aren't "studying" them in the same way that people at bible study are studying the bible.

>>10857068
>Studying theology is a retarded waste of time
So was giving you food and shelter, brainlet.
Good luck in any university literature, history, philosophy, or sociology course.

>>10857190
Maybe US Bible study is different from what I'm thinking of.
Seeing as how Jack's wife is partaking of it I'm very willing to believe this is the core of our disagreement.
I'm certainly not defending indoctrination.

>>10857204
that's what it is

>>10857204
That kind of bible study is basically book club for housewives who don't have a single thought in their head other than what they hear at church. It has nothing to do with the bible as a piece of literature or it's cultural influence.

>>10857209
>>10857217
Well, I'm glad we came to a nice peaceful understanding then.
I guess I shouldn't have expected Tammy Scalfani to be so high-brow.

>>10857194
Thanks, but my undergrad had a humanities 110 class that all freshmen had to take and we read everything from the pre-Socratics through the bible and early theologians. I also have a graduate degree in philosophy. You don't need to study the bible; most people know most of it already simply though it's ubiquity throughout Western culture. Reading it once is plenty.

>>10857060
looks like somebody just took a big boy bite of salt

>>10857245
>everything from the pre-Socratics through the bible and early theologians
Big fat lie number one

>most people know most of it already
And number two

If you had bothered to pay attention tot he conversation the exact argument for reading the Bible is that it's referenced throughout Western culture, but that certainly doesn't mean it goes the other way; you don't learn the Bible by reading other literature, generally speaking.

Might as well say you don't have to read the Odyssey because you read Joyce.

>>10857245
>I also have a graduate degree in philosophy
Yikes

>>10857275
Wasteful education fallacy, nice try buddy.

>>10857281
>Wasteful education fallacy
I bet that's the first three words they teach you in "women's studies"

>>10857269
>big fat lie

It's called hyperbole, dum dum. Obviously not literally everything, just most of the big canon texts in Western academia.

>>10857269
>you don't have to read the Odyssey because you read Joyce

The Odyssey doesn't have 2000 (or 3000) years of everyday influence through this ongoing religion thing, so that's a bad analogy (though most people still know many of the stories from the Odyssey).

>>10857275

You have no idea.

>>10857294
I seriously doubt you even read all of Socrates. I wasn't taking a cheap shot at your hyperbolic implication than you read everything else as well.
You sure as hell weren't made to read the whole Bible.

>The Odyssey doesn't have 2000 (or 3000) years of everyday influence
lmao

>>10857297

>>10857309
>seriously doubt you even read all of Socrates

Considering Socrates never wrote anything... But yeah, we probably read a dozen dialogues and The Republic (not that I haven't read all of Plato).

>sure as hell weren't made to read the whole Bible
Why? We spent a whole week on it.

>>10857320

except andy milonakos
fuck that faggot

>>10857331
>Considering Socrates never wrote anything...
We both know what I meant. No need to get pedantic.
Especially when you yourself already played the "I was being hyperbolic" card

>Why? We spent a whole week on it.
heh
I like you. You're trolling, but you're not stupid and lazy with it like most people.

>>10857336
So that's who that is.
I kind of assumed it was just some fat loser who was piggybacking on Garret. Didn't realise the guy had his own wikipedia page.

>>10857349
yeah he’s a joke, his career basically started because he looked like he was and 30 old man that looked like he was 13 and made a rap video about the superbowl being gay

>>10857371
But we already had MC Chris :(

>>10857337
>you're trolling

I'm a little drunk, a little bored, a little autistic, and went to a school that attracts autists. I wouldn't say I'm necessarily trolling, and everything I said was true.

>>10857431
No school you went to made you read the whole bibble in a week.
I'm not sure I could even do that right now. Not without missing a good portion of the important stuff anyway.

We spent a week covering it (lectures and seminars). Even if you'd never read a page and started a week earlier that's still less than 100 pages a night to get through it by the final lecture. I had one professor who assigned us all of Capital Vol. 1 for a single weekend (he realized that was unrealistic and gave us about a third of the chapters as a recommendation instead.

>>10857532
>and started a week earlier
So not we're doubling the time available all of a sudden. That's nice.
Yeah, you can read the Bible in 2 weeks but you're probably not finding time to read anything else and actually getting into the meat of it seems out of the question. You could easily spend a couple weeks discussion each single book in the Bible.
I just don't know why they'd bother trying to cover the whole thing like this rather than picking out a few choice bits and focusing on those. Exodus plus one of the Gospels for example.

>>10857552
I think the not/now typo is my least favourite of them all.

>>10857552
>not we're doubling the time available all of a sudden

How did, "we spent a week on the bible" imply that we read it in a week? Do you usually start reading a text the day you're going to start going over it in a class?

>>10857561
The favorite/favourite one is pretty bad as well.

>>10857569
Took you long enough to deny it anyway.

>>10857573
That's just British/American spelling. Doesn't completely change the meaning of a sentence at least.

>>10857194
Anon, "bible study" and "studying the bible" are two completely different things. "Bible study" is a thing middle aged, Christian mothers do as an excuse to get drunk on shitty wine and pretend they're being good Christians.

>>10857337
>finds reading the bible in a single week so unbelievable it must be trolling

This sums up the intelligence of your average bible reader.

>>10857800
Reading and discussing

>>10857818
Yes, typically how it works in a university (since you've never been) is you read the source material at home, and then discuss it the following day at the lecture.

>>10857829
whateever, man. You don't have the subtlety of the other guy.

>>10857047
Stories in the Bible are unoriginal and many motifs predate it. Like a hero being abandoned in a river like Moses. I'm too lazy to look up the mirror in the Bible but the epic of gilgamesh is pretty much copied there too

>>10857835
Yeah my humor's a little dry
