Maybe because those who 'believe' this crap,
literally, tell people crap like
God commands you to kill Gays, or that
they commit acts of terrorism like this:
Or murder like this:
Or genocide like this:
or this:
Or encourage and inspire hate like this:
Or that they can be easily coerced into the fringe cults and end up like this:
or this:
or this:
Or the sanctioning of child rape in cults like this:
This is what happens when one says to hell with logic and proof, to hell with thinking for oneself, to hell with questioning that which they are
told...
Do you think that any of these people thought this could happen to them? It all started with blind faith... And really that's all you have to base
a literal belief in the Bible on,
BLIND FAITH! It does not pass the logic test, it does not have a stitch of real evidence to support it, just
BLIND FAITH! So you can continue to think that science is conspiring against you... You can continue to have others do your thinking for
you... You can continue to live by
BLIND FAITH! But in the end, blind faith just leaves you unable to see the endless possibilities and is a
waste of a life...
I have no problem with a true Christian, one who tries to live a 'Christlike' existance. Jesus gave a beautiful example of a way to live in this
world, regardless of whether or not he was of Divine origin. But I have
NEVER seen, met or heard a single Fundamentalist (of which most
Christians are not) who was the slightest bit 'Christlike'. In fact, the line between Fundamentalist and Cultist is a fine one indeed!
If I can make even one person question that which they are told to just believe on faith, despite that fact that it lacks any data to support it, then
all the crap I'm taking from you all is worth it...
