Believing in the bible makes you a christian.
understanding it makes you an atheist.
That is exactly why I'm an atheist. A preacher's son, I know a lot about it. The Bible just cannot sustain itself. You have to be partially insane or willfully ignorant of its contents to swallow them (I know, false dilemma). I have a two-brain theory about Christians.
love to hear it.
@rovingamber Short version: Christians have 2 brains, a M-Sat brain and a Sun. brain. The "normal" brain will howl with derision if someone told them that someone came back from the dead or that their daughter got pregnant by a ghost. On Sunday, however, the other, "defective" brain engages and Christians believe without question things like Matthew 27:51-53 (the greatest Whopper in the Bible).
Do unto others as you would do to yourself. Confuscious. At least 1000 years before Christ was born.
Derren Brown was raised as a hard line Christian. he said he believed it to.
The more you study the "Bible", and it's history of origins and exclusions.....the more I understand, A) It was put together for political reasons and books were excluded for political reasons. Much is oral history and myth.
do you think it is worse or better than the koran?
@rovingamber - words of wisdom, but, no...there is no God's, unless you count me! (Lol)
