Which brings me to another point: If you believe that your religion is right, how come it has only existed for 2000 years? Also, notice how it only reflects the ideas shown at that time. It even states that the earth is flat. Wouldn't you think that if god created the earth, he would at least know it's shape? And that the universe was heliocentric? I could go all day on this, but you get the point.
Uh christianity states the earth is flat? sorry never knew that. My religion has been around for 15,000 years. It started with Judaism and split into christianity and catholicism. If i was born 15,000 years ago I'd be a jew. And I judge things for myself. If something seems unrealistic in my religion I search for reasonable answers until I can fill in the gaps. Like Noah's flood, 7 days to create the earth, and all the unbelievable stories, including Moses splitting the jordan river was it?? There's actual events that took place which could have been it, the bible just blows it out of proportion and calls them acts of god, when it was a massive earthquake causing water to rush away at the exact same time moses got to the river.
It's all on the history or discovery channel, but you go on saying I believe what I'm told, well that's bullshit I believe what's reasonable and is 100% clear. It's just not clear to you so you think I'm a blind believer.
And Ryo, you are absolutely right about mistranslations. The bible was compiled by what hundreds of people? Each person views things differently and writes things down differently. Not to mention head priests had the power to add or remove things which is why the bible has LOTS of missing pieces. A prophet from four thousand years ago would call a meteor shower "raining fire" he wouldn't know that it's falling rocks on fire from entering the earths atmosphere. And Moses splitting the sea was caused by a massive earthquake where all the water poured too ect. They call it a miracle of god because they had no way to scientifically explain it. It was nature itself (now maybe god was behind it or not) I believe so because someone had to set things in motion.
How do you think the universe got there? I'm sure you athiests believe we all evolved from bacteria or whatever but how did the UNIVERSE get there? Just try and comprehend for a second how long the universe has been there, how it got there, what set things in motion? Has the universe eternally existed in the past? How can past stretch for eternity? And if not how did the universe begin?
