I've read the Bible -- without the handicap of someone trying to convince me that it was true. I've never believed it.
Your beliefs simply do not stand on their own merits, Mercyvessel - they have to be indoctrinated into people. One of the primary targets for such indoctrination are the very young, who cannot yet distinguish between truth and fantasy. I was fortunate to have parents who spared me that treatment, so when I read the Bible on my own initiative it came across as just a storybook about some ancient people.
The only part of the entire book that made any sense at all was Matthew 25:35-40, and one does not have to be religious to practice what it preaches.
Quote:He does indeed command obedience from His creatures!
Command ignored. I don't take orders from imaginary fiends.
Quote:Why not obey the Creator in whose hand is life?
Because. It. Doesn't. Fucking. Exist. And. It. Didn't. Create. Bugger-All.
Quote:Is it because you/we have some right, or are wiser or stronger than He?
Everyone on this forum -- including you, Mercyvessel -- is stronger than your god. If you want to be wiser too, start examining your beliefs in a more critical light instead of sucking up to them.
Quote:Know this though, after all is said and done, and the possibility of salvation / reconciliation with GOD ends (at the end of the age or at the moment one's body dies) - we will all know that GOD is GOD.
Sorry, no. When you die, Mercyvessel, it's game over for your beliefs. In order to know something, your brain has to be alive. (Oh, and dead people's knees don't bend, either, unless the undertaker is positioning them on the cremation slab or in the coffin.)
