Haha, that's too funny! The stubborn ones are the hardcore believers. Why believe history books and not the bible? Well, by that "logic" you might as well say "you believe history books, why not the Koran, the Torah, or the Tao Te Ching?" And though there is much disformation in history books, at least there we have proof that those things happened, even though the way it went down is twisted. We have relics from the wars and previous civilizations, we have fossils from dinosaurs, etc. I could also say, if you believe the bible, why not Harry Potter or Cinderella? You, nor anyone else knew the people who wrote the bible, yet you base your whole belief system on what complete strangers say. Not everyone believes everything they hear or read. Quoting scripture? Really? Is that supposed to mean something? Just because someone says something doesn't make it true. I can say things too - "Thousands of years ago, a hairy ape came down from the sky and spoke to a man named Sid, and he told Sid that he is not the true god and that a great magic mushroom created the universe and that humans are to worship shrooms." You going to believe that too? What's the difference? Sure it sounds ridiculous, but no more so than a talking burning bush or a talking snake. Just because someone got a group of people to believe something doesn't make it any truer. And do you really think that the bible has remained un-altered this entire time? On top of not knowing who wrote it in the first place, you don't know what was added to it or taken out during the 2K years it's been around. Anybody could have put in additional text and ripped out others. Don't you know about King James? The only reason you're christian in the first place is because you were raised in that environment. If you were born and raised in Iran, you'd be a muslim quoting the Koran, worshiping Allah believing whole-heartedly that all non-muslims are going to hell.

And this business with the devil, please! The devil is just a patsy so people can place blame on something else and don't have to feel responible for the evil they create themselves.

I don't mean to come off as harsh or confrontational. I really don't care what what you believe as long as it doesn't harm any other living creature..... unlike the crusades and the inquisition. It's just irritating when people are trying to pass myth off as fact.
smileyface Reviewed by smileyface on . My Loss of Faith I used to be very religious. I even married a lady that used to be a nun. Now I can't stomach the thought of it all. Look in the eyes of a starving, dying child. Is there God? The child prays every night for nothing more than simple food. Does God answer? If God can't answer the most simple prayer of a dying child, why would he give a fuck about anything I pray about? If God can't protect the weakest of us all, how could we say any of us are cared for by a loving god? I've fallen Rating: 5
