Wonderful.... you have a book written nearly 2,000 years ago by unknown desert nomads. And this book has been translated many times. We also don't have the original writings. All we have is copies of copies. Plus, this book started out as an oral history passed down from person to person.
So, to summarize, what you have is a copy of a copy of a translation of a translation of a translation of an oral history that was passed down who knows how many times before it was written down. You couldn't have a grocery list go through that many retellings, translations and copies without having some big changes in the dinner menu!
But it's obviously all true.
And what I have is not "personal belief". It is a logical conclusion based upon the available evidence.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
