The Long and the Short of it.

[Paul the Human]

There are other sources of stories with relevant morals to the tales and, I dare say, some of them have better stories that depict human nature even more strongly. Belief in god has nothing to do with seeing the meaning behind a metaphor or the moral of a fable. I see them in the bible, but I do not see how them being there leads to believing the claim that god is real.

And round and round we go. Heheh! I think we have found the sticking point. Belief. When it comes to the existence of god, I don't have it and you do. The question of why must remain unanswered, it seems.
