One thing I love about people who try to convince me that the Bible is the word of God is that when asked why they believe such a thing 9 out of 10 times they will give you the same answer. "Because the Bible says so." While that line of reasoning is acceptable for your typical bible hugger out there. I am unfortunately not so easily swayed.
Something that very few people I come across seem to know is that there is no one true bible at all. There are only different
versions. The bible is in fact a collection of books and each version consists of different books depending on the religion. Some religious higher ups back then decided that they wanted to leave out some books, while other leaders decided those books were ok with them.
Now ladies and genlemen I ask you; if each book was truly the word of God, then why would anyone have bothered leaving any of those books out? I mean I would not have the gall to tell God any of his collections of words just didnt make the cut. C'mon people. Think about it. Even the people that pieced each version together didn't believe such a thing? Why do any of us now?
People hold the Bible in such high reguard that they allow it to control their entire lives and use it as a reason to condemn their fellow man. I for one have a tough time believing the Bible when it tells me God loves us and is forgiving yet that same book also tells me God wiped out the entire population of the earth save for one man and his imediate family.
I refuse to follow any book that tells me it is ok to take a life as long as a voice in my head is telling me to do so. Which is exactly what the Bible says God told Abraham to do to his son Isaac. That sounds more like the Devils type of thing to me than Gods.
Don't get me wrong. I definitely believe in God. I would just prefer hear Gods word from he himself rather than trust some book to contain them.
The Bible is simply just a system of control. If you believe otherwise. If you believe the Bible is truly the word of God. Then please tell me why. Just give me a better reason than simply "Because the Bible say so."

so so true! the bible is man made.... and you're right people just do what the masses do probably because they are ignorant to other ideas or to scared to venture off...
ReplyDeletei get flack to speaking against organized religion so you prolly will too lol... i got your back... you're right on the money with blog =) good way to start things off
People are brainwashed from early childhood to believe those sort of things and we are told we will spend all eternity in Hell if we dont. The bible is filled with all sorts doom, gloom, and dispair. Its all just a bunch of fear tactics if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteOn top of what outragous things it already says people have a habbit of interpreting it the wrong way. Gays are thought to be sinners because of what they do. I however for the life of me cannot recall one passage where the bible says such a thing. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.
Thank you very much Roxy. I have definitly seen the backlash you have recieved on your Anti-Android blog for what your beliefs are. I am more than prepared for some of the same. Its very comforting to read that you have my back none the less. I'm sure you know I am a big admirer of all of your work so its a huge honor to have you read mine. Even though we dont always agree I will always respect you and your opinion. Even when it comes to good ol St. Nick
