And please, please, please never mind the idea that somehow dating is something that has to be done in order to know yourself, much less meet the man of your dreams. The Bible will tell you everything you need to understand about yourself; you're a helpless sinner in need of a Savior--that's who you are.

You are worthless. The only way you can gain some manner of worth is by serving me.
That's right peasant, grovel. Did I say peasant? I meant sinner, of course.
That's seriously all you need to know in order to have a happy, productive life, maybe meet someone, marry and have children, and teach those children to be happy, productive members of society?
"The Bible will tell you everything you need to understand about yourself..."
...but you won't understand a fucking word! Of course, when you look else where in the babble, it will contradict what you have learned about yourself.
Yeah, yeah...heard this shit before.
The last person I met who was saved, was not saved by a god...but by a dog. You see, he fell through some ice on a lake and his Lab pulled him out.
So, according to the Bible, I'm a worthless, degenerate scumbag wretch? Well, I'm certainly quite the catch for someone, then!
"The Bible will tell you everything you need to understand about yourself; you're a helpless sinner in need of a Savior--that's who you are."
Is it the Old Testament or the New Testament that offers advice on how to deal with the towering rage brought on by fundie douche bags like you?
Yeah, but does it tell me I'm a helpless sinner that knows HTML and PHP?
Just 'cause I'm a helpless sinner doesn't mean I'm compatible with just any other helpless sinner.
You fail at Self-Knowledge.
Yes, well, that belief isn't quite what this person says. That teaching is essentially telling us that while we should strive to be good people and do the right thing, there will be times when we not only fail at this, but also do things to hurt ourselves and those around us. We do that because we are imperfect entities, and only God Himself is perfect. Since we can not do what God wants us to, we're sinners (since a sin is going against God). However, that's Ok, because God took care of it by sending His Son down, and through Him, we were redeemed.
It's anyone here has studied Buddhism or Zen, it's along the lines that there is suffering because people live unenlightened lives.
Now, whether that makes sense to you and whether or not you believe it is an entire matter. I was trying to explain how that view that "we're all shit" isn't quite what that belief is. Now, as for this fundie's claim, whiskey tango foxtrot? The belief is telling you to be you. How the hell will you know what you want unless you know what you don't want in the first place?
And if we all thought like you, we'd all still be living in caves. Why would a helpless sinner need a wheel? Fire is scary so stay the hell away from that.
So do you just wait for your parents to arrange a marriage for you?
As my lot in a Biblical life would be to remain the house until I'm sold to a man for breeding, I'd rather go out and fornicate with other helpless sinners, get a sinful education and some heathen qualifications, get a damnable job and live sinfully independently. At least then I can say I've lived. You will die having achieved nothing.
My mom grew up on her father’s cattle ranch. She and her sisters determined that none of them wanted to live their adult life on a cattle ranch. Every single boy they dated, they asked if they had any intentions or interest in farming, ranching, or sheep-herding as their future careers. An instant disqualifier if they planned to grow up and inherit the farm.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
