Why do Christians trust the Bible?

[abaris]

Question is, are you one of those "anyone else"? Even if a billion people do the same experiment and come up with the same result, and you don't, its still blind faith - blind faith in a billion people.

As opposed to blind trust in a single book basically being a collection of campfire tales by desert dwellers. A book based on much older local myths such as the epic of Gilgamesh that already had the great flood story. A book based on a local deity that somehow became the only one. Yahweh originally was kind of a war god in local tradition, a divine warrior. And it shows in most every story of the old testament. Genocide, war mongering and killing off individuals were his daily pleasures. The rest is some mixture of bronze age laws for a paternalistic society.

Thank you very much. I rather go with the wonders of science than with that kind of tale.
