Bring on the downvotes bc I know I'm going to get them. No bible is the word of God written by man. They are the words of MEN written by MEN. FFS there are over 1,000 denominations of Christianity alone, each knowing their version is the right one and all others are blasphemy. Not to mention every bible from each religion is packed with contradictions...Religion-Plot-Holes

I could live my entire life, adhering completely to the Christian moral compass, save millions of lives, treat every person with the utmost respect and dignity, refuse all toxic thoughts and actions, and yet (according to most Christian dogma) I would still burn in hell for eternity if I didn’t believe the Christian God exists. That sentiment alone tells me that morality, and the course of our lives in general, is irrelevant in the end. All that matters is that the Christian God gets recognition. That God, to me, sounds more narcissistic than benevolent and loving. And therefore, is not a God I wish to worship. There’s also issues such as, if God is truly omnipotent and omniscient then he could have purged the world of all suffering and pain. But he hasn’t because... he loves us? Because somehow the gift of free will, and therefore the gift of imperfection is more important than letting your children suffer and experience pain? Some children are born into poverty, beaten, starved, and killed before 10 years of age, without ever seeing kindness. What’s the lesson there God? Why must you treat the creations you love with such disdain solely to “make a point.” I could go on. There’s so many issues I have with that belief system and narrative.Show All 4 Upvotes
