I just finished watching the video and would advise all Christians and non Christians to watch it too. The bishop makes some very poignant and true observations about the stories in the bible. How anyone can read it and still say it is a good book amazes me. We all know what is good and what is bad, what promotes altruism and what promotes genocide. From what i have had my eyes opened to about the Holy Bible it falls into the latter category, especially the old testament. To try and justify and condone it is like trying to justify the actions of a genocidal mass murderer who suddenly changed his mind and started a new testament after committing suicide under a different name. (But he didn't really die and will gloriously return to earth to kill millions more innocent babies, women, children, and men who don't believe.) If something sounds like nonsense, looks like nonsense, and smells like nonsense, my brain tells me that it probably is nonsense. So why does a third of the worlds population still believe it to be true? ![]() Keep up the good work Huxley. |
