Daystar. MY reason at least for caring about the content of the bible despite the fact I think its fairy tale is, basically:
1. The immorality and horror in the bible causing an awful lot of dogmatic fundamentalist 'faith' heads to do some terrible things they wouldn't normally do. They wouldn't do if they didn't think those things were actually justified to be righteous in the bible.
2. I don't believe in God. But I don't then say "God is evil". Of course not. I don't believe he exists.
What I DO say is. IF God exists. IF the God of the bible exists. If HE is our God. Then he's an extremely evil dictator. I don't say "He's evil". I say "IF such a God exists he's evil". So why believe in such a supremely evil God? And if you don't yet still believe in the bible. You obviously are interpreting it completely different to people who take it more literally. So you don't just believe what IT SAYS because you don't read it entirely literally.
So why DO you believe in God? Any reason? Any evidence? At all? How do you justify God with the bible when the God of the bible is blatantly evil? AND on the truth part. There's no evidence of him, no reason to believe. So why DO you believe?
I mean, c'mon!
