CP has thought to himself " what a load of rubbish!!"
No, it's got to be some sort of emotional drama etc, that has caused him to lose faith.
I simply cannot comprehend how anyone can look at the crap that is in the Bible and believe that it's true. Talking animals, a global flood that killed everything, a man losing his strength because his hair was cut, a river turning into blood, a sea being parted, people being turned into salt, a wall coming down because someone blew a horn, a virgin birth, a man walking on water and healing people with a touch of his hand, people coming back from the dead, and on and on.... These things are NOT BELIEVABLE! And yet, people believe with every fiber of their being that these things are true! What's really sad is that we have evidence to indicate that some of these things did not happen (for example, the geologic evidence proves that a global flood absolutely did NOT occur 4,000 years ago), but these ninnies will ignore the evidence and embrace a book written by goat herders. Just incredble...
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
