wasn't sure where to post this if it needs to be moved Please do
now Every Christen or any other person from any religon Should stop and think does this make anymore sense then other things?
What I mean is nowadays the Greek/Roman Religon of the Past is now regarded as Myths or fairy tales....... What makes the stories of an other religon anymore acurate? One thing people seem to Forget is People wrote the bible and Other Books like it! not God! what Makes it right?
many people will tell you God told them to write it... Did it?(I refer to God as it because I have no Idea if a Higher being has a gender) how do we know this? is Tradition the Only thing Keeping People Believing it? your Parents Believed it so you must to? Why is What is Passed down right?
It took me a while for me to Realize what I believe and I am still not sure but I have pretty Much gotton rid of the Bible I was brought up A Catholic and I struggled to find what I think is the truth and what makes more sense I was Always into Science and I always found myself Trying to Keep the 2 things separate. but there came a time when I couldn't anymore I needed to know what I believed and I came up with this God made Life. and gave it the Amazing ability to Change to help itself Adapt and Get better. This amazing Ability resulted in many Creatures including us!(I still have problems with this Mainly Because the existence of God Rasies even more questions) I am asking you to find out what you believe also don't Listen to your Parents on this! find OUT what YOU believe and what makes sense TO YOU find yourself not just follow traditon.
if it turns out to be what you think is the truth thats fine but don't be a follower think for yourself and Take known facts into Acount

Interesting topic, but I'm moving to Faith and Belief as it does not deal directly with issues of Biblical accuracy or inerrancy.
