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 |

The fact that people say God wasn't very 'nice' is just...blah. God can be anything He wants, He is in fact God. He's the Alpha and Omega. He created you and me, the earth you live on and the air you breath ((to what I believe)).
I also think that people should respect all religions, whether you think they are right or wrong. It's their belief and one should let them alone. If you want someone to respect what you believe in then don't disrespect what they belive in by calling it a bunch of crap. Humans are curious species, who think that if there is no evidence of such, then it doesn't exist or is naturally wrong. Fact of the matter, you alone decide what you want to believe in and that your choice and no one else's. We'll all see who's religion is right when our lives end. All and all, it'll be too late to go back to change the course of your life. |

Well, the Bible says, in so many words, Christianity is right and other religions are wrong and does, in fact, lable non-Christians with such words as heretic, infidel... etc. These terms don't mean much in our time (not), but if a person is called as such a century or two from now, he/she could be flayed, burned or hanged. These are words that are meant to demean a person or groups of people and though they are not often used now in everyday speech, the meaning of their existence is quite clear. Tolerance and respect work both ways; sensible, I think. |
