Thanks!
This is the attitude I was talking about.
You need to go back to the bible and read it with an open mind not one already clouded with the belief because if you do you will find it rather silly.
You see it would be quicker to tell you which bits I think were true than to explain what I think is wrong with it.
So what is true some of the cast, characters existed but most of the events were either invented, propaganda or distortions of what actually happened.
I mean what survey ever insisted you go back to your place of origin rather than have the phrase "place of birth" in the questions? it makes no sense.
The main problems I have with christianlty.
It is all about a supernatural character. Nothing supernatural has ever been proven to exist.
The history is shaky with evidence at all for the exodus and many of its other main events including the life of jesus missing in the real world.
The old testament is strange stories filled with woo from start to finish. Genesis is a failed explanation of creation, looking for all the world like it was written by ignorant bronze age goat herders. Noahs ark. Hair as the source of strength. Stupid laws in leviticus etc etc
And the new testament: lots of impossible magic tricks vague parables that can be read several ways and the madness that is revelations.
So why I see christianity as false is all of it.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
