God exists. Jesus was the son/offspring/part or God. The Bible is almost completely wrong.
Beat that.
Christians and Atheists hate me.
I can't beat that, but I can join it. I unquestionably believe that God exists and loves me and that the man we call "Jesus" was the purest expression of that love.
I also believe in evolution, that the Earth is 4.6 billion years old, and that the vast majority of the Bible is meant to be taken figuratively or contextually, if not outright ignored.
You are not alone.
Yay for people that share my view.
I believe that God could exist (I hope he does), that the Bible is mostly wrong (and has a lot of contradictions), that religion can be used for good and that the only thing wrong with religion is the bad people within it.
I believe that both religion and science is an important part of the Human race!
Just for reference I'm Christian which usually isn't a popular stance around here.
Actually when you look at the bible as a whole instead of it's individual parts there are less contradictions.
Also the Bible is not in chronological order although they do have chronological Bibles nowadays (it makes more sense)
Another unfortunate thing is the original text was in Greek, and Hebrew then translated into Latin, then into English and both Latin and English are inadequate for a proper translation.
However possibly the most important thing is the Bible was in the hands of the Catholic Church Pre-Reformation which during that time they were among the most corrupt human beings on the face of the planet (they weren't much better afterwards for a long time, and even now there's still a lot of problems within the Diocese)so who knows what they did to the Bible.
Note: I believe in evolution I just believe that God made it happen. I believe the the six days weren't days as we think of them, but different periods in time, and were only referred to as days because there wasn't really to much else to call them.
OT: Collectivism (communism, socialism, anarchy ect. ect.) is the worst thing humanity has come up with, and Objectivism seems to be a knee jerk reaction to collectivism. Objectivism just seems incomplete to me. However Capitalism is the best system, and I'm for a flat tax. Also writing Faux news instead of Fox news is NOT clever or funny seeing that FAUX is pronounced the same way as FOE it just makes you look like an idiot.
LEARN PRONUNCIATION, and no I'm not a fox news fan. I don't like any news organization.
