What do you believe about the Bible? Was it created for brainwashing people? Or was it created by people who truly believed that they were influenced by a god when there is none?You'd do yourself a great service if you researched the origins of the Bible so as to find it is the poorly compiled errant historic fiction of men, politics and ego.
I personally believe that it is the word of God, and it's the only word of God we can base Christianity on.
There's a Professor, Bart Ehrman, who has authored many books that may help you to find the truth. If you have the faith to seek it out.
"In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with."
