I agree. I never think about it and I was raised in the church. Not relevant to how I live. I'm an honest good person. One of the most hateful, homophobic and racist person I know goes to church ever Sunday. She also love to quote the scripture.


But the scary part is that some Church goers believe that homophobia IS being good, and they also believe that NO ONE can be good because we are all wretched sinners. It’s mind blowing but also evidence of how easy it is to convince people of something even if it is ultimately harmful to humanity

Humans wrote it. It’s just a book.

Hindu Vedas (10,000 years old) were also passed down orally for centuries before being written down, relying on complex memorization techniques to maintain accuracy.

Of course! Widespread literacy is a modern trait. Until the last 300 years or so, most people couldn't read.


Somehow Muslims managed it but even though Islam is 1400 years old, still 600 years younger than Christianity.

Don't give Trump any ideas. Next thing we know he'll be restarting the calendar.

I was raised in "the church" - the Catholic Church to be specific and we were aware that we read 2 Bible passages every week at Sunday Mass - the Gospel and the Epistle. Other than that, we didn't study the Bible much and focused instead on catechism.

Clearly OP’s special text is the real gospel. All those other religions are just made up.

DCUM consistently meets expectations on the quality of its religious insight. Basically the Michael Scott level of inquiry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbeibqTqco8

I was raised in an interfaith family myself and accepting there are different beliefs and you can decide what you believe for yourself, you accept not everyone is going to agree, and you just move on.

It just makes me think they’re dumber than a bag of rocks.


That's why they are still a believer.

OP, where did YOU think the Bible came from and where did you receive your religious education?

My kids learned about the history of the texts in high school, and I studies it a but in college, but there are free open source courses on line if you are interested. If you are into linguistics you may particularly enjoy the theory of the unnamed J, E, D, and P sources of the Pentateuch.
