Quote:1. I have read the bible several times, I found several things striking to me why it may be inspired. Some of these reasons will get ridiculed, but here we go... I do appreciate that the bible has many good principles on living your life. Some of them are archaic but we don't need a mosaic law anymore. That was not a perfect system but rather a system that the best possible system for the world of that time. Even when I read Leviticus 19, I really love the commandments in that chapter because it begins with saying that these are things that make you holy, or clean. Its less about rules and regulations and more about how you should treat people....it wasn't "the best possible system" then, any more than it is now..by any means you'll be demonstrate -other- than your preference. The idea that the "others" of the world were relative barabarians, was, is, and has -always been- nothing more than propaganda. I don;t think that you could have actually done an -ounce- of research here and still made this claim.
Quote:2. I don't really understand the point of the question. If the judeo christian god exists then whatever mode got us here doesn't matter. If humans evolved the skill of writing or if god gifted man with the ability it doesn't make a difference to me.Oh, idk.....your fellow man expended alot of effort to put together the written word, and it betters your quality of life immensely. I think you might want to have a little more respect for human effort (you probably wish that your own efforts were respected)...if your boss said to you " I don't care if you did your work or god did your work last night" - you might be a little miffed...lol.
