I've never read the bible, so I wouldn't know... The bible might be a good bed time novel... But I could never take it for what it "really" means.. I'm not an athiest though... I believe in my own god... Anyway, if I have my own god, nobody can say I'm talking to myself
Although, their is a guy in town that talks to his finger, and people don't bother him
But anyway, back to REAL religon... I think its complete fiction blown out of proportion due to people that have not realised, Humans are remarkable species, and just because something is remarkable, doesn't mean it was created or preformed because of a God... Give yourself some credit! Anyway, when I say, Blown out of porportion, I mean, something that I realised while watching South Park (That show is great for making sense of the world) Basically, they were saying, when people take the bible literally, all types of hell break loose... I mean, think of it this way, just because the bible says all this stuff about God and all in it, it doesn't mean there is one... Could it have been that the Bible was a guideline? You know, Be a good neighbour, be a good person, don't steal or kill? Shit like that?
Anyway, Nostradamus was a cracked out idiot... He told his son that he saw his prophecies when staring at the moon, and drunk, and also high on nutmeg... So yea... I mean, one of his predictions was man being on the moon... Holy shit! The moon is a big thing! Hundreds of thousands of people probably thought that someday Humans would reach the moon...
Does that mean the father tell his kid in 1880's Canada, that, someday, people will live on the moon, is a prophet? I think not... Oh well\
I just hope that made a bit of sense... Religion is a touchy subject for me...
