Of course, it’s easy for us with our 21st Century, materialistic minds to dismiss the Bible as a load of rubbish. But in the actual analysis, that is exactly what the Bible turns out to be---a load of rubbish! It is a book of nonsensical, fantastic stories about talking animals, talking bushes, mythical creatures, people rising from the dead, magic and pseudo-history. It is the creation of ignorant, fallible men, reflecting the prejudices, superstitions, bad theology and fears of the times in which it was written. It promotes slavery, ethnic cleansing, race prejudice, wars of conquest, the subjugation of women, child abuse and genital mutilation. It promotes the worship and celebration of a god who is little more than an egotistical, homicidal, fear-mongering tyrant. It is a book which any reasonable, intellectually honest, and intelligent person should heartily dismiss as bad fiction.
It is not just about the Bible anymore. It is now about Us too. The Children of God in the various Churches and Me. Speaking with you right here and now. Being in a Relationship with you. Because of who I am. As result of the Creation of God as our Father.
Now you are running away just like my other Son, @Abaddon_ire from the real issue here that is actually Me.
Um...I have no interest in your insane babblings either. You're delusional and can't be reasoned with.
