Stumble ThisChasers war on Everything takes a Bible to Texas to ask people if they really believe every bit of it should be followed.

But that photo op was great. He sat through 40 shots! his painting was great too
"Stop being a prick dad"
The bible sketch was a bit forced, like 'Oh! and what about dwarves!' not exactly candid...

Agreed! The bible part was nice, the photos was much better. Both together in one clip is definitely worth a *quality.
You guys kept watching AFTER the bible bit?
Yeah, the camera stuff was the best part. I was munching on a cookie while watching, and they kept bringing out more and more complex cameras and he kept rolling with it. Then when they brought out the Panavision camera out, I literally burst out laughing out loud, spitting cookie bits all over my keyboard, monitor and everything on the desk. By the time he was painting the water color, I was literally in tears laughing so hard.
Well, context is what it is
Any scripture can be taken out of context. Christian's will often say though, that when a scripture is understood, it should be understood in context of the whole bible. So, for example, you don't take a passage from the old testament and apply it to your daily life, without keeping in mind what God says throughout the entire bible.
I hope that makes sense.
So "God" wrote the Bible then? Funny, I thought men wrote it.
Oh, by the way. The way I understand it, if those "laws" you are taking out of context are still in the books, then they still apply. Simply because they were written in 1942 does not make them any less valid or enforceable by officers of the law.
What I don't understand is why are you comparing a book of fairy tales to city laws?
On the lighter side: homosexual, adulterous, fortune-telling dwarf... LOL!
The percentage figure this group cites could come from any number of sources. Its to bad this group does not explain who their source actually is or isnt. If your going to quote a source, and not give due credit, then you are guilty of plagerism(sp?) (that or, you cant think up stuff on your own that sounds creditable, so you have to steal your material from others who are). One such organization in the USA, that might help on this, is called The Pew Foundation (TPF). They do many of the polls in the USA on a wide range of topics and issues. While the organization leans to the left, it does so from an acedemic point of view, not a political one (like Mr. Hannity, Mr. Beck, Mr. O'Reily, etc). TPF did come out with some figures back during the lead up to the November 4, 2008 presidential election regarding percentages of people of faith, including those who believe the Holy Bible is completely correct and true. As to what that number was, I could not tell you. You'll just have to do the research to find out for yourself.
Just because the two individuals 'talk funny', does not mean their taping of the show was produced outside of the USA. And frankly, those Brits have plenty more stuff, us Americans can make fun of in their country, then they do in ours (we did recently get rid of the white house jester....).

It actually says right on the graphic that the 63% of Americans that believe the bible is true is from Rasmussen Reports. Since you couldn't be bothered to "do the research", I've done it for you. Here's the link...

And personally, I think the "snarky foreigners" have every right to make fun of us when this figure is true. If I heard that over half of Australia spent their days worshiping a giant invisible space kangaroo, I might think they're worthy of a bit of ribbing myself.
That's explained in the bible. Just read it.
You understand it badly. Firstly, the point was context. The law example can work any way you like- take laws from 1942 and apply them to today. If you can't grasp what issues can arise from taking something out of context, I'd suggest going back to school. Possibly a 'special' school. Secondly, I'm not going to bother arguing about laws between 1942 and today, because to do so would be to forget the full context of my analogy- that laws were being transferred between countries as well. Perhaps it's an imprefect analogy, but it's good enough to get the point across.
I would have thought someone with even the slighest amount of brain power would have gotten the point and not quibbled over the details of the analogy, but I guess I was wrong.
