Ok, we read this story called Gilgamesh if you haven't read it, google it. But basically its about this guy who wants to be immortal, and his dad tells him that one of the gods told him that a giant flood was coming to wipe out humanity.
(sound familiar?) well... guess what he did? yep, he made a boat, filled it with his family and animals. then, when they grounded, he set out a bird to find land. blah blah blah, he repopulates the earth. ok... now tell me that doesnt sound familiar. I think the bible is full of crap. Whoever wrote it (probably a group of ppl) just got ideas from old stories. and dont say that the bible was written before Gilgamesh because Gilgamesh was written in early the BC's (like 2000bc) anyone care to argue i dont want to hear all you all calling athesiest and crap... cuz im not  .i believe in... a higher power, but i just think the bible is a bunch of nonsense |

I don't really see the point of attacking the religious beliefs of others. Who cares if another's religious beliefs are right or wrong? Religion isn't something based in fact; any religious person will tell you they believe because of faith, not evidence.
Furthermore, do facts really matter in this case? Religion is so powerful that it shapes the way people live their lives; does it really matter whether everything they believe is factual or not? They believe it and live their lives with it, no matter what. One is not likely to change a man's mind by attacking his religion; and who cares if he believes something different, anyway? As long as his spiritual life does not encroach upon mine, I don't much care what he believes. |
