But the Bible you read today is a far cry from what was originally written. It has changed over time and had to be interpreted each time. The book its self has been slanted to favor what ever religion it has been copied for? The Catholic Bible is different from the Lutheran. The Lutheran bible is different from the Episcopal, the Baptist, Unitarian, Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, they are all different. It may be slight differences in some cases but their all slanted to support the church there written for. The King James has been revised many times to keep current with modern people. Look at one written 50 years ago and you can see the difference. Now what about the Buddhist, Hindu's, Muslims,
etc, are they all wrong? If so then when the apocalypse comes Hells going to be awfully crowed with people that were just doing what they were taught. By the way isn't that what you are doing? What if Christianity has it wrong and god is a Shintoist?
I believe in God, I believe you can be redeemed for your sins, I believe that god has a terrific sense of humor. Why else would he have allowed man to inhabit the world. I believe the Bible can be use as a tool....But the "word of God" I don't think so its been through too many hands and reinvented too many times. Have you ever played that party game as a kid when someone whispers a message into your ear and you whisper it to someone else, the message makes it to the last person and its nothing like it was when it first starts. If man can't even send a message around a room of people and get it right, how is he suppose to do it with "the word of God" The Bible has also been used to start too many wars and kill too many people because they chose to think and worship differently. Just like the Ka-ron has been and is being used..
I believe that if your a good man/woman and you allow whatever god you worship into your life you are going to heaven...
But I do not believe in organized religion, that has become a business and has been used for thousands of years to push whatever political point of view the church decides it needs, no mater what one you belong to.
For give the spelling I'm typing this on the fly.....I know God would
