I read it, as a story it's interesting, as a religious text it's bullshit.

I did the same once... I opened up a really boring part, it was lame.. also, I was too high to really concentrate on text

Lol, OP this is really a coincidence because I once got reeeaaallly high and wrote this shit.

i was thinking about reading it just to see what references to the ancient world are insightful/interesting.

>>367778
that sentence is dumb and has no meaning beyond trying to appear proverbial.

Mythology is pretty awesome.

>>367800
Either that or you're an idiot.

>>367805

I'd rather read myths than mythology.

>>367812
Myths are a part of mythology though?

I read both testaments as a child and, being raised in a atheistic environment, thought they were just fairy tales like any other.
I didn't realise people actually belive they're real untill I was like twelve or something.
I still can't fully grasp that.

>>367819
Possibly means (s)he'd rather read myths than mythos.

>>367810
Well since I'm not an idiot that doesn't really change anything.

>>367826
But if you were you wouldn't know so that makes your comment stupid and goes some way towards proving that you are an idiot.

>>367819

Mythologies are rational accounts of myths. They seek to explain them.

I'd rather read the myth themselves.

>>367830
It would be stupid to think one is stupid to avoid the possibility of being stupid because you thought you weren't.

>>367908

since we're talking, do you care to explain why this >>367778
wasn't just a "witty" response but a sentence with actual meaning?

>>367696
I actually read the entire Bible before. When I was in high school, I read the Old and New Testaments while riding the school bus. As a literary text, it's one of the greatest stories ever told literary and historically. If a person can read the Bible, he can read anything that has the same page length if the person takes his/her time.It took me about two months to complete the Bible.

However I doubt if most Americans, especially Christians, read the entire Bible for themselves.

>>367917
It seems obvious to me.
Blasphemy is important for stripping pretention from over-serious over-important attitudes. Like the Carnivalesque it reminds everybody of the basic facts of life.

>>367920
>one of the greatest stories ever told literary and historically
>It took me about two months to complete the Bible.
you don't read much, do you?

>>367930
and it can't possibly be funny because...

>>367930

>>stripping pretention from over-serious over-important attitudes
Is there anything more important than salvation?

>>367938
Because it makes baby Jesus cry.

>>367931
Really?

>>367940
Yeah, how about not being a complete douche. I'd rather go to hell than be a self-righteous ass.

>>367940
just to avoid being confused as this cristfag, this is not me (the guy you've been bickering with until now)

>>367938
this however is me and I demand a serious answer, since you went to all this truble of telling me your sentence made sense already.

>>367952
We weren't bickering. I was enjoying that.

>>367952
>>the guy you've been bickering with until now

That was my first post.....

>>367967
I know, you're the cristfag.

>>367966
bickering can be enjoyable

>>367967
derp

>>367963
At the time I was thinking that blasphemy was always hostile but, in retrospect, saying it was never funny was an exaggeration. But so was saying 'that sentence is dumb and has no meaning beyond trying to appear proverbial'. So I propose we call it a draw.

>>367980
that's what pissed me off, somebody making a sentence a part of which exited just to have a "witty" contrast to the original statement.
Anywy, draw it is, I respect a guy who can admit he's a little wrong, especially on 4chan.

>>367947
I don't know.
It's called a q-e-s-t-i-o-n, you're supposed to answer it.

Old Testament: Holy shit, God is badass.

New Testament: ... God turned into a hippie, what is this shit?

>>367998
wait...there is a third part?

>>367990

>I respect a guy who can admit he's a little wrong, especially on 4chan.

Not the guy you were enjoying bickering with, but shouldn't you respect more someone who isn't anonymous?

You can say anything you like anonymously and not care at all about the subsequent embarrassment, but if you put your name to something, realize you were wrong, then admit it - that is respectable.

Is the unoffical sequel considered canon or not?

>>368010
It is, if you are a Mormon.

>>368002
Since I started browsing 4chan I learned this isn't the case.
Admitting you're wrong when people know it's you, makes you seem less childish and doesn't tip the off.
Admitting you're wrong on 4chan is nearly non-existent, as the only person that knows who you are, is the person who doesn't ever want to admit that; you.

>>368002
Surely if you're anonymous you don't ever have to admit you're wrong therefore there is less incentive to do it. It is a selfless act. If you have a name then you need to back down when you're wrong otherwise you look like a cock.

>>368012
thus when you admit you're wrong anonymusly, you're not doing that to please anybody but correct yourself.
I respect that more.

>>368010

When high, even pooping can be an adventure.

>>368012

>>368031

>>368018
>>368013
>>368012

It's easy and completely free of any embarrassment to admit you're wrong on 4chan. It's obviously something we can appreciate, though.

It's different, however, when you come across an arrogant person IRL who never admits he is wrong. If that person were to admit publicy that he was wrong about something big, it would be a crushing blow to his pride and integrity.

I think that is more respectable, though both are respectable I think.

>>368031

It is a difficult adventure, though.

>>368038
If it gives that person pain to admit it's wrong to people IRL how can you expect it to do so when there is no social need to?
I'm a bit arrogant so I can tell this from experience.

>>368039
yes, yes it is

>>368039

Wisdom.

This thread is now about pooping when high.

>>368060
wasn't it always?

>>368062
tooshey

>>368048

Well if it's on 4chan, there is no "pain" when he admits he was wrong. He is anonymous.

Admitting you are wrong on 4chan is "painless", it's only really about whether you can be bothered to post that you were wrong.

I respect a person's overcoming of their own pride and arrogance to be truthful more than I do a persons lack of laziness when posting on 4chan.

>>368068
>there is no "pain" when he admits he was wrong
you're wrong here, it's really difficult to admit you're wrong, because you're criticising yourself and letting the other guy have the satisfaction of being right when you were not (damn that guy being right, when you were not!)
the feeling stays the same however applied (IRL and OL), it's just less socially damaging to insist you're right when no-body knows who that arrongant prick who can't admit defeat is.
90% of 4chan consists of people going to great lenghts to prove they're not wrong (look at me for example).
The other 10% are porn.

>>368096
iawtp

yes, there's no actual cost to admitting your wrong on 4chan, but no one likes to do it anyway. It's quite rare, and commendable imo.

Hello, OP. Consider me your trolling editor, because I have edited your opening troll.

I just got on 4chan's /lit/ and decided to troll with religion.

It will be great trolling.

Commence trolling.

>>368135
yeah, its right up there in beatiful-language olymp... sharing its throne with klingon

>>368096

>it's really difficult to admit you're wrong, because you're criticising yourself and letting the other guy have the satisfaction of being right

I think this is where we differ. The "satisfaction of being right" doesn't exist for me on 4chan. Instead, the "satisfaction of knowing the truth" at the end of an anonymous argument replaces it.

I don't see any satisfaction in being "right" and an anonymous person being wrong when it has 0 repercussions IRL other than perhaps a small amount of reassurance that your knowledge is correct.

That's basically why I think it is more respectable to admit you are wrong when you know you are IRL, as opposed to when you're completely anonymous sitting at a computer talking to someone you'll likely never talk to again, and not know about it even if you do.

>>368140
>he makes fun of spelling errors written by a guy who's not a native english speaker on 4chan.

>>368141

It actually does seem plausible, but you are mistaken.

The troll-paranoia has gotten to you, I'm afraid.

>>368146
>I don't see any satisfaction in being "right"
I'm afraid you're a lone case there buddy.

>>368146
My thoughts are a part of me; when I make a serious argument on here (as opposed to a joke or a troll), I am putting myself out there, to some extent. There won't be any harm to my reputation, but if I get completely shit on, I will feel shittier - my thoughts were completely wrong and I was stupid.

>>368151
English is my third language behind spanish and french, it's no excuse.

>>368154

If you had read it, you'd know I was talking about "being right" on 4chan.

>>368160
I don't believe you. Write that sentence in Spanish and French.

>>368160
so are you from Spain or from France?

>>368163
English s the only language I ca type, I have yet to try and work my way around a keyboard in my native language. I know you won't believe but it's the truth, I figured, "why learn to type in a language most people on the sites I go to won't understand?"

>>368172
lol
wut?

>>368166
I'm from spain.

>>368174
Wow, fuck. I need to learn to not argue about grammar when I'm high, I fucked that post up with spelling errors.

>>368158

It's interesting you mention this, and it's very unfortunate that most people are like you.

I don't see why you think it's a bad thing.

You "were" stupid, now you are a little smarter, yet you feel like shit?

When we are wrong IRL, we are a little embarrassed because it is revealed that we wrong, but we learn from our mistakes and don't repeat that mistake. We are now smarter.

When we are wrong in complete anonymity, the embarrassment is no where to be seen, only the improvement of correcting yourself.

It's kind of funny that what is keeping us in discussion is that we both want to convince each other, or at least state what we think and not seem to hold incorrect beliefs.

>>368161
I've read it, but I still think you're a lone case, even if we only include 4chan.
Maybe I didin't imply the right sentence <----see that? That hurt my pride like hell, I had no motivation to admit that, I could just go HUURRR RETARD and my ego would stay intact.

>>368179
So confusing. Is this the guy that was lying about speaking French and Spanish?

>>368183
No but yes, I wasn't lying. Just because I can't type in spanish doesn't mean I'm lying.

>>368187
You can't type in spanish or french? That doesn't make sense.

>>368172
>>368175
you're from Spain and you can't type your own language and then you make comments about me making a typo in another?
And then you make a comment in english, misspell it complety and blame it on being high?
See >>368146, this is one of the people we're telling you about.

>>368191
How? I just don't care to figure out what I do on my keyboard to get the tilde or any other spanish characters. As for french, I never use that language unless I'm trying to impress some of the chicks on campus.

>>368202
do it without, we don't care

>>368193
Know, i know I'm wrong, that comment I made about me being a fucking retard when high was me stating that i was wrong. I just wanted to make it apparent that I wasn't lying about knowing three languages.

>>368208
Seriously? Ok.
Ingles es mi tercera lengua detras de espanol y frances, no es ninguna excusa.

>>368209
I know three languages: English French and Chinese.

>>368218
de hecho, puede hablar en español?
Debo decir que estoy sorprendido, por la vida está llena de sorpresas.

>>368181

>I had no motivation to admit that

Other than being consistent?

My point is that on 4chan, we don't have a character that our incorrectness can be projected upon. We're just minds expressing our opinions, taking other opinions and using what truth is contained in them to shape our own, trying to get as close to what is reasonable as possible.

If I posted something on 4chan, exclaimed that it was true and then got 100 replies saying it's complete bullshit and why, I would leave the computer knowing that I have improved my knowledge, and in doing so I haven't been embarrassed publicly. It is a win-win. There is no "hurt" in then posting "Oh, you're right. How silly of me to be caught with such a misconception". If it was real life and I had said this in front of a hall of people, it would be embarrassing.

Maybe I am a lone case, and maybe that is a sad fact.

Surely people would be better off if they were happy when they were wrong and learned from it, and were keen at getting at the truth without being hindered by their egos.

Did I meantion I speak Svahili?

>>368309
That's right. And I'd do it again.

Good way to get started imo

This thread got entertaining fast.
Someone misspelled beautiful, someone laughed at him, then lots of butthurt ensued between some spanish guy and a few other people

>>368325
It goes back firther. The origin, I believe, is when somebody said "This thread is now about pooping when high".

>>368338
That would've been way better

I didn't even read the bible high, I just wanted to see where we'd end up.

If there's one thing you can say about /lit/ it never fails to make a mountain out of a trollhill.

we've come full circle it seems...

>>368394
That has meaning. What are you talking about?

>>368392

I learned more from the ego discussion, and that's more important.

This thread goes off-topic in so many directions.

>>368402

Stay on 4chan.

I won't learn about specific people's ego problems in study, and discussing things with people is enjoyable and insightful.

I actually prefer that to coaxing a reaction from people for "fun". It comes close, though.

>>368414
4chan is what socrates had in mind when he invented Socratic Dialogue.

>>368414
you've got a point (AGGGHHH my ego, it's hurt again!)

Do you think he ever got trolls in his seminars who were like, "I can speak Spanish" and everybody else is all like, "WHAT THE FUCK IS SPANISH?"

>>368443
hey spanishfag, I've got a question for you.

Then Socrates pulls off his mask and he's Tim Roth.

When someone convinces me I've been wrong about something, I really am happy that I've made an improvement (especially on 4chan).
