Well I guess maybe a small percentage of the bible is believable and acceptable.
I wouldn't count my dollars on it though. I can think of a much more peaceful way of life then the teachings of a mediterrenean mythologies that most of the people follow in this country. I know I would never teach my child that the bible is how you should live. If anything she can read it and see for herself. She will realize there are a great many contradictions and unreasonable solutions when reading it. I would never teach my child that we are born sinners either or show "fear" tactics to live a better life. |

The Bible is man's creation. It is fallible. There is only one thing that is perfect, God, Yahweh, Iehova, Malkazidec, Jesus, Yeshua, The One True God of Abraham, I AM.
All the same person, just different aspects and personas. I am not perfect, God IS. I need no ,"Holy Bible", to know the will of good. All I need is the Holy Spirit. When I start straying from my path, my Lord and my Shepard put me back in my place. Amen |

when one stays with the form, one never knows the deepness. however, faith should not ever be imposed into people, thus i rest my case. I just know I'm happy. You say that "faith should not ever be imposed into people", yet the Biblical God demands just that. According to the Bible the biblical God demands that heathens be murdered, including their wives and children. So if you don't believe that faith should be imposed into people, then you disagree with the very God that you claim to worship.  The Bibilical God supposedly rejects and condemns everyone who refuses to have faith. Of course, I've shown where Jesus claimed othewise, but Christians are quick to refute my interpretations and stand by the idea that Jesus condemns all those who do not accept the Christian's interpretations of his words and the whole rest of the godforsaken book. Of course, I confess that most of those have been Protestants who also reject the Catholic interpretation of the scriptures. It's hard to know what "Christains" believe anymore since the Protestants all make up their own crap, and the Pope keeps changing what the Catholic Church believes. For all I know, at some future date, the Pope himself my come out and confess that Jesus was most likely never the son of the God of Abraham and that the God of Abraham was never anything more than a myth. I mean, they keep changing what they believe, so who knows what they might believe tomorrow? There's always hope that someday they'll see Jesus as the man who denounced the God of Abraham.  I guess anything's possible.  actually the Bible says spread the gospel but it also says not to force it on people and i couldnt agree more....He is there just wating for ppl to call on Him and belive me He will answer but u have to talk to Him and pray and He will be there ... |

It is man made, afterall. But, the bible is a good source of wisdom, as long as you can discern the difference between truth and lies. It is meant to be read "in the Spirit". |

You are young and you will soon realize that there are a great many other spiritual paths that are much more peaceful and compassionate then what the God of Abraham teaches. Regardless of which mediterrenean mythology you choose you will see its wisdom isn't very wise afterall. Try Eastern Mysticsm and you will see wisdom, peacefulness, compassion, and true understanding of how our spirits are. Torah - Koran - Bible all written by men who wanted to control the masses at its time and have done a great deal in doing so. Now Jesus is a great human being who truly tried to teach a different way then what the Torah taught. The missing years did wonders for his wisdom as he tried to show his people that one can truly live amongst each other in peace. It is ashame that the Roman Emperor Constantine didn't like that Jesus got all the attention as he believed he was a god himself and also the Jews didn't like that their Torah be questioned by Jesus. So in the long run there are really much more better spiritual paths one can take. If you don't like Eastern Mystiscm then try Native American Spirituality. The great Wanka Tanka will embrace you gladly and show you the path of universal happiness. |

I find the LaVeyan Satanist Bible far more peaceful than the Bible.

It features quotes like
"Every religion that has destroyed its people is based on love" "Blessed is the man who has a sprinkling of enemies, for they shall make him a hero. Cursed is he who doeth good unto others who sneer apon him in return, for he shall be despised. The angel of self-deciet is camped in the souls of the righteous." -Anton LaVey As well as being a religion "of the flesh" Satanism teaches not to pray, but do something, to be free from any god. It teaches to love and appreciate what is right before your eyes, how to respond to it, how to defend yourself from it. It teaches that you must accept your own consequences |

We place religion or the lack of it at such extremes. It seems we as humans are incapable of taking something good and applying it to our lives and leaving the bad behind.
We believe in absolutes, never learning, unable to see the vast possibilities right in front of us. We call those who can see, philosophers, who unsuprisingly many of us find hard to understand. Until we are allowed to freely embrace all knowledge, we are truly lost. |

I accept that i am responsible for my own actions. Religious people have their deities, I have myself. I do not need religion to keep me on the right path, I can do that on my own. I didn't need religion to give me morals i have parents for that.

but you have to admit that religion can be very entertaining if you use it for entertainment purposes without harming others in the process, especially if you are a writer of fiction
  How could you deny a good storytelling session near a lake with a mountain backdrop, guitar music, and a fire going on roasting hot dogs??

I'm sure you have heard of Quetzacoatl.The Feathered Serpent of the Aztecs.A rather benevolent deity as far as Aztec standards went. Of lizard origin, yes some say alien origin. I would say a interesting folklore tale indeed. I will have to read up on it more to broaden my knowledge out of interest. |

QUETZALCOATL: Famed Aztec Feathered Serpent and son of Creator God biggie OMETECUHTLI. He also makes the odd appearance as EHECATL.
QUETZALCOATL's brother is XOLOTL and his mother is Top Goddess COATLICUE. He helped create the cosmos and instigated the system of universal death and rebirth. Think wind rippling through grasses and foliage, green plumes, feathers, scales. QUETZALCOATL ruled the Fifth World Cycle and created fifth generation humans by sprinkling his blood over the bones of the previous tenants. Of course the bones first had to be rescued from MICTLAN, which was no easy task as MICTLANTECUHTLI was playing finders-keepers. QUETZALCOATL brought culture to mankind and also agriculture. But most importantly, he brought chocolate! |
