Because if they really really believe, they'd hold the bible and god to a higher standard than themselves. But they don't. It's just a show or something. I mean if you really believe, you wouldn't have to deny evidence. You can face up to the evidence and say you still believe. IDK, it occurred to me in the subway today when I was looking at this ad that says: does the bible confuse you? Join a 6 week course on how to understand the word of God.
And it's like dude, if my report confuses anyone, I'm failing my lab. But if god's only book is confusing that's ok? Come on, you have to expect better from a god.
I know a lot who think they believe. In reality they just cling to it to cover the fear they often feel. Not sure why they would get fat with faith rather than stay healthy mentally with reason. Reason distills fear it forces fear to conform to itself. Reason brings light into darkness not gods or blind faith.
They should hold a higher standard and they don't. One good indication it is a shallow greedy belief that they will be saved. They don't give a damn about mankind. They only do so in that they are instructed to care. Tell someone something long enough they just might fall for it. Some small part of us usually remains trying to protect reason though our minds last defense if you will. You can crush him to dust if you want but then one is truly lost. If they can't expect better things from their god why would they try to hold themselves to a better standard either?
It really is a show and it makes you wonder who they really are performing for? God was never there to watch, never bought a ticket, sent a flower, clapped at all...
Its all funny/sad/pukey all at once. The stage of life with players who expect someone else to memorize their lines.
