Theists: would you view the truth?

[robvalue]

The thing is, if the words in the bible have value, I don't see why that value disappears even if the events turn out to be semi-fictional. If it's good advice, it continues to be good advice. In other words, belief in the original events doesn't seem to be all that relevant from the point of view of living this life. It just seems to be about making sure you're on the right side for the next life.

If you viewed the events and it's not what you thought, nothing has changed. You're still you, you still have your morality and values.

Of course you'll realise you spent a great deal of time talking to nothing, which would be a shame.
