Yeah that's the basic bitch take, but the books of the bible have many such differences of opinion between different writers and protagonists. And the books were written over thousands of years, so they reflect our intellectual development as well.
However, if you read the bible carefully, and with a critical eye you'll find that it's pretty much all the same bronze age jedi bullshit no matter what way you spin it.
Of course there will be variations between the different books of each testament as well, but the general themes vary in some significant ways.
For example, Christianity incorporated Platonism/Neo-Platonism, which is where stuff like the Holy Trinity came from, and transubstantiation and the like.
It also started incorporating Stoicism from the Roman tradition as well. That's where the "turn-the-other-cheek" stuff comes from. It's like practically quoted directly from Marcus Aurelius himself.
And yes, you're right that there is also a chronological spread within each testament (for each book to have been written), but the differences between each book within each testament is a lot narrower than the difference between each testament as a whole.

I'm currently about 20% of the way through 4+ hour commute. I get bored during such excursions so grabbed a bottle of gin and a bottle of orange juice - poured the gin into the OJ - and am sippin that shit on the bus, and nobody's the wiser.
They just think I'm some really thirsty, calcium deficient dude.
Anyone else drink on public transit or greyhound-style bus trips?

But typecasting an entire group of people as contemptible low-lives not worthy of your social graces for engaging in an activity that
YOU MOST CLEARLY DO AS WELL is somehow "clever or witty"?
It doesn't even count as a casual expositive observation since it is woefully inaccurate.

First of all, don't you get drunk with some regularity?
Alcohol is, most assuredly, a drug.
If you do drink (I don't know for sure, but you've definitely seemed like it before), you're reaching astronomical levels of hypocrisy. You could fuel 1000 lunar orbits in a Football Stadium sized space craft with just 1% of that hypocrisy.

Then be the change you want to see in the world. Some of us - and maybe not even close to the majority - are into witty banter and personal growth and development.
I can assure you I am.
Also, you don't need to spend all day, every day here. You can always take the odd break.

Ok, I tend to take these extended breaks from NiS, but when I've got a few drinks in me, I might briefly lurk-browse the first page SG and maybe HB and B&M...
I wasn't planning on signing in and posting tonight, but this thread kinda put me in a situation where I can't refuse.
Hey, Item 9 / Actor, the kind of stuff you're talking about I know ALL. TOO. WELL.
A lot of people bring up suicide here and there, but I know the REAL signs when I see them. I've had to consider the EXACT SAME conundrum before. I remember literally thinking of leaving a "confession" where I fess up to all kinds of reprehensible shit, as though it would make what I was about to do that much more acceptable.
I am not one of those people that believes that people should feel guilty about having suicidal tendencies, or that they should be completely prevented from doing it, completely guilt-free, if they have tried EVERYTHING else, and are in a situation that is simply irresolvable.
I've seen you make threads that hint at (if not outright mention) suicide before.
The fact that you have had more than one, and that you posted this exact OP here, leads me to believe that you're well past the curious phase, and into the planning phase.
I'm not going to tell you that there are any easy answers, or give you any tired, cliche'd platitudes.
What I will tell you is that there is one thing worth living another day for - and no, I'm not going to say "zOMG think of your loved ones" or some guilt-tripping crap like that - I mean you, in virtually all likelihood, have something out there that you haven't thought of yet, or haven't tried, or haven't carried out with the right execution, that can take you from where you are now, to where you need to be.
And if nothing else, just know that you're not alone in having such thoughts. I have for many years, and still occasionally do.
I've taken a proactive approach to life though, where I take it as my irrevocable human right/responsibility to try new solutions before I throw in the towel.

If it were you, or if it's at least someone you know, I'd really like to know what the word spells, because it will bug me for a while if I don't find out what exactly.

If that's really her, you're an asshole for posting that.
I have very a very strict personal policy against publishing nudes in my collection without the person's consent.
I literally have homemade porno videos from an earlier time, but I could never show them to anyone because the right to a certain degree of privacy is kind of an important (and long forgotten) virtue.
