Why should the contents of a book be so important?
If it could be proved where's the need for faith?
Why not believe in the Legend of King Arthur?
The Bible is a book and if you were making a film of it the synopses would run something like this.
You have your good guy (God)
you have your bad guy (Satan)
They have a big battle stretching over two thousand years.
God wins and Satan and all his followers are wiped out.
Hey man people will love it,we get Arnie to play God.
This sounds like the plot to thousands of books and films and why should the bible be any different,Its just not convincing enough for me to view it in any other way.Just to clarify a point which version of the bible are we actualy talking about??
I have absolutely no phobias I think all people are the same we can all be all things so I view Humanity as I view all things objectively.
Up to now I am simply not convinced that the bible is anything other than carrot and stick psychology wrapped up in a fantastic story, on a par with Aesops Fables.What can you bring to the table to make me think differently.
But remember I have pretty much heard everyones arguments before,
Catholic,Protestant,Jehovas and Mormons and a couple of lesser known groups as well.Up to now I still do not believe in God in fact I think it is the singular most divisive thing other than politics.
Remember this is a open forum and if you post here then you have to expect to recieve opinions from people who don't agree with yours,like I already said I don't really care what people think of me or my thoughts.
It is always interesting to get a different perspective but it doesn't mean I have to agree with it.Free speech Free mind the way it should be.
