I was raised Catholic, and had the liturgy forced on me through high school. Shortly after I reached adulthood I began to question their answers, and found they were not making sense.
So I began my search for inner peace. I read all the holy books, from the Bible to the Quran and everything in between. Then a friend gave me a book on Zen, and I read it and went to visit a local Zenmaster. I realized I could find what I was looking for within myself.
I have found my peace in meditation and intuition. No more need for strife and conflict. I am now saved. Everyone should at least take a look.
I've read various scriptures and none of them are so impressive that they could not have come from the minds of men. Ancient scripture only proves that ancient people were also believers, not that gods are in any way real.
Otherwise, how can you seriously prove that Odin, Thor, Zeus, Hera, Cupid, Aries, or any other god of myth that nobody has ever dis proven isn't real?
Having thoroughly investigated the bible and determined it to be largely fiction, examined the evidence and found it to be lacking, and observed the behavior of Christians and especially Christian leaders and seen it to be in conflict with the principles about which I read in the bible, I heartily reject Christianity.
but doen't they bible say six days he made the world and everyhing in it and on the senth he rested? sure we have changed in the last 6,000 years but we have not changed from rocks togerms to fish to ape to man
(note i use he ecause he made man first)
actualy it hasn't been proven natural selection has been proven just saying
and the bible is not A mans documetary its 30 men's documetry over 30 generations in different times like war peace jail rich people poor people and many others with the same general story line with no direct links
Isn't it funny how the bible is just filled with circular logic that supports it's own teachings so nobody ever has to read anything else to verify it? You'd almost think the bible was intentionally written that way. ;)
"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

There’s no reason for me to…I am not evil…I am Druid…so I don’t need to be “saved”…
Blessings to all and,
