cute analogy, i'll bite, prisoners by their very definition cannot free themselves.
if that book were written today the author or authors would be committed and they would throw away the key. I've read it three times front to back before you attack me. Cherry picking texts from it sounds great but doesn't fix anything, and comes off sounding like CNN sound bites as someone said in this bread.
Funny i was thinking that about what you wrote.
The way i see it whether we evolved a brain and intelligence or it was donated from a higher power the fact remains we have a brain to think and think logically at that so i don't see why one book should be exempt from critical examinations over any others. If it was donated from a higher power i think it would be pissed that we aren't fully using its gift.
sure personal attacks the vanguard of the intellectually ineffective.
that's where you're wrong i don't assume it's wrong i assume they're all wrong. Once you start digging to the origins it becomes clearer. Btw i was never an atheist but neither do i think man made religions are the answer.
Funny, the bible itself if you follow what Jesus said made religions null and void. And Christianity is not any different look at it's history it's just as bad as the rest and only became tolerable in recent hstory.
indeed
I'm weary of any persons or groups that would subjugate my fellow man or woman for their benefit.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
again with the personal attacks thanks for playing
