Was the Bible meant to be taken so literally? |

Have any of you hard-headed religious people ever taken time to think that perhaps the Bible is just a moral manual to life through exagerated stories? The bible was created by PEOPLE, not a god. Think about it. I dont need a book to tell me to do right, nor a fear of hell to keep me from doing wrong. I do right because I like helping poeple, and hate to see them suffer. I believe in a god, but god is not an intelligent being, it is a force of nature. not a person. Open your minds and quit being so ignorant, theres no man sitting on a throne in the sky.

Well, that's what I am trying to tell them! I mean, at those times people thought only Christians would do good deeds ecause they are taught to. But nowadays, people do good things even though they are not Christian.

*sigh* I understand what you are trying to say, but it would help vastly if you would back up your points instead of just sounding like you are merely angry and ranting. For example, understand that most Christians understand that the Bible was written by men; however, they also believe that it was inspired by God, and no amount of ranting on your part is going to change their minds. Also, consider that you have no more evidence for your version of God than Christians do for theirs, so if you want to make your argument more sound, an "I believe" before the entire thing would not hurt. And, finally, calling people ignorant will not cause anyone to consider your points. It will cause them to dismiss you as another angsty teenager with nothing new to say.

But ignorance is exactly what they are portraying. I wasnt using the word as an insult. I base my belief on what i see, feel, and experience. Reading a book and believing everything it says is nothing else but ignorant. There is no proof for religion exceedinglyrare, so dont try to tell me religion has evidence. How can you believe something, simply becasue it cannot be disproved? you cant disprove faith. I for one, rather believe in something that can be proven, not something that cannot be disproven.
