I'm trying to start a new meme. It's called "shrimps fedora."

It's similar to the "tips fedora" meme, but the key difference is that there is a shrimp.

Spread this meme around, please!

They say you can study the first 3 chapters of Genesis to find allusions to most of the rest of The Bible.

Let me tell you, Jesus loves you. Love is the greatest of all things and you didn't even have to do anything to receive it. You don't have to make yourself worthy to God. Isn't that wonderful?

Take for example water, which can exist in 3 distinct states of matter

Now this isnt theologically speaking an entirely correct metaphor but it is close enough for laymen

You are truly the worst poster on this board, you dont read, you dont think, the extent of your contributions is defending tripfags and spouting reductive bullshit that would put even dawkins to shame

"Verses" as they're known now are a relatively modern addition to the scripture. Genesis is prose given address to mostly aid memory.

Things like Psalms are verse, but don't be a pedantic idiot, anon.

Misquoting Jesus by Bart D. Ehrman

>For almost 1,500 years, the New Testament manuscripts were copied by hand––and mistakes and intentional changes abound in the competing manuscript versions.
>In this compelling and fascinating book, Ehrman shows where and why changes were made in our earliest surviving manuscripts, explaining for the first time how the many variations of our cherished biblical stories came to be

I'm not well educated, hardly my fault, but I don't care what you think of that. Learning here on this dry erase board forum is done at a leisurely pace, (Here we are in yet another I-hate-this thread) and I'm not in the habit of writing essays for hostile teenagers, so I am brief. Sue me.
Here's another defense. My understanding of Stirner, floundered for over a year or more with all the same anons fighting over his meaning. I would get the book some time, but I put it off. Only after reading from a trip user did I come to understand it better.

This trinity bullshit can be explained away for people, but it doesn't excuse the facts already mentioned. THAT'S petulance and stupidity no matter your faith.

You're incomprehebsibe. You conflate personal apolagia for being shit with your atheism. And then for some reason think it's a point of pride that you learned about Stirner from a tripfag instead of a book. Are you for real?

you know, the game where you whisper something into someone's ear, like "Money is the cause of hatred," and they whisper it into someone else's ear, and they whisper it into another person's ear, and so on and so on until you reach the end and the message is now "mommy smells like raisins."
