Many Christians would argue that the message in the Bible carries more weight because Jesus said it...but I see your point. One of your memorable quotes was this:
jar writes: Even if all the stories about Jesus are only tales told round the campfire the message is still of value. A myth can't help me, however. I have to do all of the work myself. I believe that prayer can help me, even if it were only a placebo effect.Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. —RC Sproul "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." —Mark Twain " ~"If that's not sufficient for you go soak your head."~Faith Paul was probably SO soaked in prayer nobody else has ever equaled him.~Faith
