The only thing that mystifies me are the lengths they'll go to avoid acknowledging what a pile of nonsense it really is.
I believe it
CL, still not the point. I am a former Catholic. We know you believe it, not the issue. What evidence do you have?
I got to the point where I accepted I had none, that is why I scraped it.
Wanting something to be true is not evidence.
A history of tradition is also not evidence.
Back then, humans, not just Catholics, but most humans thought that good and bad happen for divine reasons, and that holy people had a special insight to a super hero.
I think you are a very nice lady, but I don't think you need old mythology to live your life.
Babies are not born without a second set of DNA. Humans do not have super natural powers. Humans do not get murdered as and rise from the dead as the bible would imply.
That was then, this is now. It was understandable back then that people made bad guesses and passed those beliefs onto the next generation. We've learn a hell of a lot since.
I am being fair to you because I'd argue the same with all religions.
