i agree with a shit ton of ben shapiros views but i could never subject myself to putting his snide tiny jew narrative in my brain for the length of a book. he's good for a twitter follow, no more.

but word i've heard that thomas sowell book brought up on a couple podcasts by people but i don't like reading shit that isn't a fake entertaining story, so i figured i'd recommend it to you.

Legit question. I always wondered.

How many different versions of the Christian bible exist?

Always thought only 2 - King James and New King James version.

But there are tons of different translations, right?

Inno · 05-11-2018, 11:37 AM

I’ve literally never heard that. Always thought there was only 2

Ghost1 · 05-11-2018, 11:45 AM

its the most printed and translated book ever known to man.

19. What is the bible by Rob Bell (2/5)
20. The case for faith by Lee Strobel (5/5)
21. The case for christ by Lee Strobel (4/5)
22. I dont have enough faith to be an athiest by Norman Geisler and Frank Turek (4/5)
23. Trumpocracy by David Frum (3/5)
24. Mere christianity by C.S. Lewis (4/5)

trumpocracy was ok not really anything you wouldn't have known from keeping up w the election and his first year in office, some good insights as to how Trump won his campaign based off of manipulating the hatred in men as opposed to actually having appealing policy goals....and then goes into detail on how he basically reneged on all of his campaign promises and acts like a mongrel in foreign affair relations as well as thru social media promoting stupidity and impulsiveness as a means to an end.....that end realistically only being to stuff his pockets at the exchange for our entire democratic systems stability lol. Also enjoyed the sections about his totalitarian approach to the media highlighting Megyn Kelly being forced out of fox news for questioning trump in a manner he didn't appreciate to replace him with tucker who would eat dog shit out of trumps mouth literally if tasked. the book was written by a conservative that was Bushes speech writer which I also found to be interesting that it isn't just some angry liberal trying to tear down the right blindly.

as far as Mere Christianity I thought this was amazing. his arguments for absolute moral law and also against the concept of duality were phenomenal. blew me away. the back half of the book was ok....I thought Augustine dealt with time far better and in much greater detail but some of his insights on eternity were very cool.

just about finished with Jordan petersons 2017 biblical phsychology lectures, really really loving these.

first bolded part, nonsense. his policy goals and brashness got him elected, not a deep hidden hatred in the hearts of men. second bolded part is more nonsense, unless you want to put into specifics what he reneged on? also this book was just published in january which means he submitted it probably at the latest in like august of 2017. but by all metrics he's stood by more campaign promises than anyone up to this point of his presidency, and its even been used against him in the sense of "how dare he do this just to fulfill a campaign promise" narrative

also the third bolded part tells the whole story, the guy is embedded in the right and with the bushes which is GOP through and through. trump is the outsider that bodied them. made jeb look like a soft doof. destroyed the republican party and now they have to pretend to be on his side since he is getting some things done for him.

but im not trying to spark a political discussion in here as much as point out that this guy is far from unbiased, so to look at it like its a narrative from a guy on the right, as if he doesn't have vested interests in "nevertrumping" is disingenuous. plus he's a canada cuck fag lmao

Aero · 05-25-2018, 11:08 AM

Good thread.

Inno · 05-25-2018, 05:18 PM

Lol

Ghost1 · 05-25-2018, 10:01 PM

I disagree on your first counter. I was exaggerating on your second....obv....but Syria and his stupid wall come to mind without even trying to think at all....and thirdly...he's a conservative is he not? Obv he has vested interest but he's still a republican is all I was really saying.

So SHUT IT fucking neanderthal

Fucking think I read books about Trump being a fagot so I can listen to u tell me he's NOT!? Well guess again u toothless bald piece of shit. Guess thee fuck AGAIN.
