The concept of interpreting the Bible or other religious texts outside of a literal sense; finding the meaning that was intended behind specific stories, parables, or teachings. Generally when searching for religious truth, one takes into account the time period, the society, the audience, and the writing styles used. This allows religious scholars to understand the Koran the way the first Muslims would have, or to understand the problems and solutions outlined in one of Paul's Epistles.
Luke's Gospel is a good example of the concept of religious truth. The religious truth of Luke's Gospel is that Jesus came for all humanity, especially the poor and marginalized members of society. This is especially shown in his birth narrative, which portrays Jesus being born in a stable and sleeping in a manger. The birth narrative also shows shepherds as the first to hear the good news of Jesus' birth; shepherds were extremely low-class citizens in ancient Jewish society.

A group of religious extremists that are responsible for much of the misery present in the world today. A bunch of goddamned two face hypocrites who do not practice what they preach. A bunch of racist, homophobic pigs who cannot stand ideas like democracy, seperation of church and state, and people who think and believe differntly than they do.
The Religious Right embody so much of how Jesus Christ described the pharisees of old in Matthew 23.

Religious Education is an hour of a pupils school day dedicated to learning about religious laws and figures that will most likely never affect their life in the future. It is the most pointless hour of bullshit you’ll ever have to sit through, honestly just shit on the whiteboard and you will get more education out of that. No one really really needs to know what Jesus said to rachel that changed her life, it was probably “ may one step on thy knee and .. “ i can’t finish that sentence as it is rather 18+ but my point is, it’s an hour of boulderdash - ignore it kids - the answer to all exam questions is either Jesus or the lyrics to jingle bells :)
what lesson have you got ?
religious education, i sure am ready to fucking kill myself

1) People who think their needs spiritually and/or religiously are more important then others around them, especially those who might need their help.
2) People who are self-centered it when it comes to spirituality or religion.
3) Also called spiritual masterbation.
Erica: I asked the advisors to helped me do shmirah, but they were to busy doing kiddush to be bothered.
Tova: I wish they would stop with their religious masterbation for once to actually do their job!
