Give it up for what? Because I have educated views that simple minded folks can't comprehend? Yssup if the Bible was written thousands of years ago do you not agree that it was written in terms of how they related to things in those days? Yssup are you telling me that if a plane landed in a third world country that has never seen a plane how would they describe it f they were to write what they witnessed?
There's a famous military video- I believe it was World War 2 where American planes were landing on an island as a refueling point and the natives of that island apparently had never seen a plane before and immediately started to bow down and worship the plane and even buit wooden replicas because in their primitives eyes they perhaps thought the planes were gods. I believe it was termed the "John Frum" movement- open your mind and read about it- it's well documented.
Yssup to tell me or anyone else to give it rest when you are spoon fed and believe everything you were told since you were an adolescent is a joke to me. I guess you probably do believe angels have bird wings, the devil is red with horns and a pitchfork, that Adam ate an apple, the sky is blue etc- now you tell me who is brainwashed yssup??

I do not make the Bible my measuring stick for explaining anything, let alone regulating the morality of others. I have my personal beliefs. But I don't force the teachings of any religion on anyone else.
If you think quoting Judeo-Christian scripture is the only way to explain the nature of the world, then you need to try and follow its lessons.
And GIVE the BIBLE THUMPING A FUCKING REST you loony tune!
