Educational: concerning the Falsehood and Mythology of the Bible.
About Me:
I also thought that by studying Ancient History I could also appeal to those with an High Intellect and help win souls for Jesus..as I had noticed that those with Higher Intellects were/are less inclined to believe the Bible.
What better way to appeal to the Intellectuals by being one yourself. Right? Fight fire with fire, as the saying goes.
Boy was I in for a big surprise !!
I was a young Born Again Christian completely un-prepared for the rude awakening I was about to discover.
I did NOT want to find out the things that I did being a full fledged Indoctorinated Christian and suffered from guilt in the process. Fortunately my courses in Psychology helped me to understand the conflicts of interest that were taking place in my mind.
I found out many things...but mostly I found out that the Bible is based on many,many Myths older than the Bible itself, besides the current Greek Myths of the time. I also went on to do extra-curricular studies on the process of the writting of the New Testament and it's 400 year struggle of death and slaughter and inner church bickering and opposition to become canon.
In short; I found History to be the biggest factor for dis-proving the truth and veracity of the Bible, rather than proving it.
Then there's Logic,Reason,Critical Thinking and of course good ole Science, the final nail in the coffin.
Atheism is NOT a Religion,
It's a personal relationship with REALITY.
"The only things that are infinite are the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe."
-Albert Einstein
"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism."
~Albert Einstein
I believe that the Bible is WOEFULLY inadequate in living up to a claim of "Divine Authorship", or even influence, and therefore that anyone who uses it as a focus of their life, or a source of "eternal" truths and ethics, is sorely misguided.
The Bible bares the stamp of its lowly origins - the imaginations of iron-age, superstitious, bloodthirsty war-mongers, determined to conquer and kill all the enemies they could, and all too willing to instill fear and guilt into the hearts of their people, so as to more easily claim divine authority for unbelievable acts of cruelty and barbarism.
I'm offended that throughout history, and even still today, people have been, and are being, paralysed with fear of being condemned to an imaginary torture chamber after death- indoctrinated from childhood that they need to beg for mercy and forgiveness, and that nothing they can humanly do will save them from having endless pain and suffering inflicted on them for the crime of being born human.
I'm offended that people I know, love and respect have had these dishonest ideas put into their heads, and had it influence their choices ALL their lives, constantly weighing their thoughts and actions against the desire to please the imaginary master who alone can rescue them from the imaginary Flaming Torture that He Himself created and threatens to dole out.
I'm offended that reasonable, ethical people are compelled to even try to affirm their beliefs about the holiness of the bible with its actual revolting contents, compromising the morality that is innate in them, with ideas like "Well, stoning people to death wasn't ALWAYS all that bad, it used to be actually holy... and murdering innocent children IS ok (and holy) in some contexts after all".
Make no mistake about it - your religion is EXTREMELY offensive; it is an insult to human dignity
"No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says; he is always convinced that it says what he means"
-George Bernard Shaw
"The fear of God is not the beginning of wisdom. The fear of God is the death of wisdom."
-Clarence Darrow
"The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion"
-Arthur C Clarke
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." - Voltaire
"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." - Mark Twain
"Faith is believing something you know ain't true."
~ Mark Twain
"It ain't the parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand."
~ Mark Twain

Funny really, since his Holy Book says that he's supposed to be able to defend and prove the Christian position.
Some dude with long hair and a beard...the name escapes me right now....lol.
Would this be analogous to receiving a paid leave reprimand? LOL
