Ten Reasons I'm Not a Christian

[LarissaAnn]

I said that the OLD TESTIMENT is outdated; it is the new testament that applies to us now. I take it seriously because Jesus' teachings are the words of god, and even at a secular level, I wouldn't disagree with them.

I am not capable of coming up with morality by myself, and neither are you. Your morality is derived from a series of external sources (your friends, guardians, the society you live in, ect). And where do you suppose a society of super smart animals got there morality? The only reasonable answer is god. If you have another reasonable asnwer, feel free to answer it.

Also, it is not Jesus' morality that makes the bible true (although that reason enough to make people follow Jesus' teachings as just a means to better themselves), it's the historical evidence. Although, that is a whole different topic, and if you wish to discuss that please say so.

Actually no, Jesus' teachings do not give me my sense of morality. All the things I've been through and survived in life have given my morality to do good and treat people with kindness. No book, let alone a 2000 year old book, can teach or inspire more than actual experience can.
