You know, I'm interested in these theist/atheist discussions but I can feel a shift in my willingness to even read posts that quote scripture and try to interpret and justify it.
It just seems so futile and ridiculous that it almost seems like I'm reading a film script and not the real thoughts of real adults. Perhaps it's just me.
An example from GC (I'm not picking on you personally GC, it's just the most recent one)...
"By the way this Pharaoh did know Moses and possibly Aaron. Pharaoh was given his evidence but he thought more of himself, ( self interest, the original sin) than he did of his people. Pharaoh started the process of hardening his heart against God and when he wouldn't relent, God said enough is enough and put an end to it."
Now, to me, the fact that those type of thoughts exist in peoples heads is starting to seem completely alien to me. That someone places so much value in these ancient stories that it steers their entire life to the detriment of anything else starts to really sadden me if I ponder it for too long.
It's not just me is it?
