Given, I've read the bible and have found many and including a bunch of contradictions. Hence the how is it possible to believe in something with so many questions that have no answers that make sense - to believe. Evasiveness for one happens to be an answer.

Laugh, and enjoy the teens in my area. Talk to strangers and enjoy the conversations. Like my access a ride drivers mostly, enjoy their company. There are movies I must see. Music I can tune into to bring my disposition up. I have friends that lasted with me over 40 years. I can go on and on.
"Religion is comparable to Childhood neurosis" Sigmond Freud
"If one wishes to form a true estimate of the full grandeur of religion, one must keep in mind what it undertakes to do for men. It gives them information about the source and origin of the universe, it assures them of protection and final happiness amid the changing vicissitudes of life, and it guides their thoughts and motions by means of precepts which are backed by the whole force of its authority."
SIGMUND FREUD, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis
"Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires."
