I almost feel retarded saying this, but in all honesty it seems like not many people grasp this concept. I myself only came to this realization a month or so ago.

ALL religions and ALL religious texts were created by man. Man is fallible. Therefore ALL religions and ALL religious texts are fallible.

Fuck your literal interpretation of the bible, it would be like me writing a children's story then people holding it to be divine. Fuck your religious affiliation as well, there is no reason that "George" invented a better religion than "Fred".

Well ya. IMO i think your retararded if you take the bible literally. Its the message thats important and no one can deny that the bible does have a good message or any other religion for that matter. I especially like the ideals of budhism

Surprisingly, some people think it was written by the hands of God himself.

no one can deny that the bible does have a good message or any other religion for that matter.

Even the ones that call for human sacrifice, or holy war, or stoning homosexuals to death?

OP, your revelation is meaningless to religious people, just as a Christian's revelation that God loves them is meaningless to you. If you're not going to present an argument or try to empathise with the position of your opponent, you may as well gtfo of this forum.

I presented a fact. A fact which I have found several devout Christians to deny. A fact is better than a logical argument set up with citations straight from some text, because you can't argue a fact.

I have no opponent, as you say. I never stated that I don't believe in God, or a god. Take your assumptions elsewhere. I think you should take a second look at what you've posted, realize that by your logic there is no need for a religious forum since atheists will continue to be atheists and believers will continue to believe.

Facts are only useful if you can prove they are facts. And can you prove that the authors of, for example, the Bible didn't have their hands directly guided by God? No. The most you can say is that it's pretty damn unlikely.

When you post what amounts to "fuck all religion", you are setting yourself up in opposition to religious people. I would have thought that was obvious.

I never said anything about the possibility of the literature being guided by a god. Only that it was written by man.

Religion has nothing to do with faith.

You need to stop assuming and start reading!
