What did Christians mean by this?

It's fiction it doesn't matter

If you think non-fiction means "everything in the book is incontrovertibly true and researched to be historically accurate," then you are an absolute retard.

Did he say any of that?

It doesn't matter. It's F I C T I O N

It's what atheists mean when they call religious texts fiction.

2 Timothy 2:15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

H-haha, yeah. I totally can.

>individual books vs a collection of books that spans a millennium
Also you aren't meant to read it like a novel you dolt, psalms is a collection of songs and prayers for one

>you can read the Gospels in a day

>>want to be a Christian?
>>here's a 2000 page book, and the actual religion doesn't start until over halfway through
That's the way of the cuck. I go to the church so a fat cuck read it out loud for me. Have fun in hell.

Even just the major texts of philosophical Taoism are considerably more extensive than the Tao Te Ching.

The total collected Upanishads create a book comparable in size to the Bible.

Why can't you read the bible in a day?

>Just read the Dhammapada and you will get Buddhism
The entire Pali Canon can easily occupy several bookshelves and take years to read all of it.

Tippers get the rope

Was I cucked? My copy of the Upanishads is only like 200 pages.

This is a ridiculous comparison. The Pali Canon is far bigger than the Bible and there are mountains of Hindu scriptures. You can't even read the early Upanishads in a day anyway.

Who is the translator? If it's Juan Mascaro, then they're heavily abridged. By "all the Upanishads" I assume that user means the 108 listed in tradition. Only 10-13 are considered the most important.

Thanks for giving the only actual answer in this thread. It’s part of the moral system. If Christianity were easy to understand, then it would be incongruous with the punishing nature of the old testament god, and incongruous with human debt for the sacrifice of the new testament god.

This is true. Much of the Pali Cannon was destroyed and what remains is still a substantial amount of text. Not to mention that all theologies have extensive literature produced by scholars.

You probably read a short summarized version of the Principal Upanishads, my version of the same thing was ~500 pages but still missing the complete set of Upanishads.

>2000 page book
Lol, noobs.

he doesn't change. What the fuck are you smoking

>average lifespan is over 60 years
>complain that you can't read the greatest book of all in an afternoon

Read Upanishads in a day? That like a 100 books!

Ha! I see.

Not like Tao Te Ching or Dhammapada aren't the short version either really. (I found Analects unreadable so who knows I guess)

What's the best way to into upanishads?
t. hindu indian who knows little about actual scriptures

first you have to poo in loo

Go shart in the mart.

They meant that if you couldn't finish a 2000 page book in 16 hours, you're destined for eternal damnation

based isn't it?
