The point is that you should read what it all says and learn from it. For you, it's just best to think of it as the oldest instruction-book.
I agree 100%. Religion is basically what tries to keep a person sane and have morals. But civilization is stupid, as we all (meaning the small majority of you) know. There are many people who actually beleive this stories as 100% true; written from God himself!
But wait? Wasn't the bible written by man? And isn't the idea of "God" man made? Of course! I'm not aware whether the bible was written to stabilize society or to actually convert them into believing that their god is the only one true god. There is much evidence showing how religion is considering to be fueling many prior wars and in fact... Terrorism.
The bible is a combinations of stories to teach you morals, like you said, and it is not a weapon. History shows that the idea of "god" has been abused to shit. For example: Native Americans beleived in their own gods, they had their own rituals and traditions. When Spanish settlers came to the indies, they have considered their beleifed to be "demonic". According to Christian settlers, anything considered Satanic to them, must be stripped away and destroyed.
Religion is not a toy; stop whoring the bible.
I'm sick of you religous phantics ringing my doorbell telling me "WOULD YOU LIKE TO CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY? LULZ"....
"No!"
Science is slowly disproving god, and faith has been so embeded into people minds that they will ignore anything opposing their beleifs. As a current (BBS) forum moderator once said, "People don't like to be wrong." it only fuels the flame even more.
Worst of all is how Christians are making us excuses for the bible's flaws. The bible never directly says the earth is round (or "SPHERICAL") and it considered Space to be the heavons. But if god is man made, how does that explain the rest of the universe. Human beings make up only (estimated at around) 0.00% of the universe.
Didn't god create Adam and Eve in Eden after pwning the dinosours. Why are scientists saying that there's no proof of life starting directly on Earth. Why are they beleiving that life really started on Mars. Could it be that Genesis occured twice?
But that's just MY opinion.
I have no problem with people having faith, but PLEASE, keep it to yourself. Religion is only a tool, not a weapon. Don't abuse your only motivations in life for it will come back and kick you right in the balls.
