thanks but I'm not here to study English. I'm here to try to help anyone who is willing to learn the truth about God.

And what makes you think that you can succeed where so many other theists here have failed. I don't think that you are the only one who believes that they have a unique perspective on the bible and the belief that they understand where so many of their fellow believers don't.

What you must understand is that we are atheists. We simply do not believe that there is a god. We also do not believe that there is any truth in the bible.

Let's put it this way. You are no more likely to convert any of us to what you would call biblical truth than someone else could convince us that the ancient Greeks or romans were correct or that we should all follow the teachings of the Australian Aborigines.

You see, to us, they are all equally mythological superstitions with absolutely no basis in fact or reality.

It's not that we are bad or immoral or lacking some important element in our lives. In fact, most of us are lovely, caring, moral and intelligent (Even Kyu )

It is simply that we are clear thinking and open minded enough to realise that the Bible is simply a work of fiction created over many centuries by various scribes and authors who probably never met each other in an attempt to explain things, for which at the time, there were no answers for.

It is simply a fascinating work of ancient fiction and no matter how you read it or how you interpret it you are no closer to discovering the true meaning of things than if you asked a class of pre school children. In fact the latter may realise far more interesting answers.

I dont know that I can succeed where others have failed. I also want you to know that I will not try to prove anything to anyone who is unwilling to hear me out. I agree with you that you are all good people and I understand some will remain on the defensive side. That is ok. Im not gonna force anything on anyone. I want all to understand that.
