why would you, believe something with no reasoning? Options

to people who say that they believe whatever the bible tells them...

so basically if the bible says go jump off a cliff you will? if it says kill your mother or hate G-d you would? do have a problem with thinking for yourself or something? i just think that is stupid. you must have reasons other than just becasue the bible tells you. you must have a brain and be able to think for yourself...

personally i am jewish and i believe in the torah but i have my own resons for believing and disbaliving what it says. i does not believe everything, which do not make me any less faithful.

why do you "just" believe. don't you need some personal reasoning and what is it?

People believe in things they think are true. If they think it's true then let them think that, unless it can be proven not true with proof. The bible really doesn't tell you to DO anything. It's more of guidelines. If you want to follow them then follow them ,if you don't then no one is forcing you. If you're just annoyed that people make arguments using religion as their rebuttles, well thats what they believe.

then....

personally i am jewish and i believe in the torah

Well personally they are christian/catholic and believe in the bible. Are you saying the bible is more ludacris than the torah? There are many people like you who believe and disbelieve things in the torah and in the bible.

Most people that do practice a religon don't know why, they just do because it's what they've been told to do. It makes no sense at all.

But a man made book and people telling me what do isn't doing it for me.

If i said, the best program to use for banner making is photoshop. Now say you agreed with me. Now if the bible said, You are considered a sinner if you...." Now say you agreed. People believe because they agree! They don't do it just because it is what they have been told to do. What about people who convert? From jewish to catholic. It's because they truly believe what is in the bible. You can't question someones beliefs. It's like questioning someones preference.

I guess I agree with you... Sooner or later people will (hopefully) start thinking for themselves... or at least question thinks of their religion.

You guys make religious people seem like mindless people. They do think for themselves. They think that the bible is right.
