No, saddened by your lack of reasoning maybe. You attempt to denounce all religious belief based on what 12th and 13th Century Painters and Scribes depicted. That's not reasoning, that's Desperation.
.
Lack of reasoning, lol that's rich from someone who claims to be agnostic & seemingly spends all his time studying religion
lets see whats reasonable here shall we as presumably you can't make up your mind what to believe.
The bible for e.g is so full of holes that I can't comprehend intelligent people believing it word for word.
lets take the ridiculous 7 days of creation myth, modern interpretation conveniently says that a day could mean more than 24 hours as we know it, Hmm, I suspect 500,000 million year days would be easier to accept as we know that the Earth is around 4.5 billion years old.
Tell me that your not sure whether the bible or science is correct & you lose all credibilty as a thinking man .
the ludicrous Noah & his ark myth.
The entire Earth was covered in water, did that mean the Polar icecaps melted ? were the scribes in the desert who wrote that story even aware that such things as icecaps even existed?
In which case where did Noah get Penguins & Polar bears from ? bible scholars answer - God used supernatural means,
what a convenient answer to fill in a massive hole
tell me you even consider whether that may or may not be true & you lose all credibility as a thinking man
Even with modern technology would it be possible to build a boat big enough to get a pair of every animal, bird, insect -including Locusts, Tsetse flies, Mosquitoes, etc ( I wonder why they included those ) plus enough fodder & meat ( I wonder what they used for meat ? )
Plus of coure you would need examples of every plant that couldn't survive under water for 40 days & that would probably mean hundreds of thousands of species & sub species.
Could this boat have ever been built ?
tell me you even consider whether that may or may not be true & you lose all credibility as a thinking man
Adam & Eve;
Eve grew from adams rib while he was asleep, Adam lived for 930 years
who did their children grow up & copulate with ? it had to be with each other so was it incest ?
Where did Black & Mongoloid people come from? were they
brothers & sisters of Adam & Eves children also ?
These & hundreds of other Biblical stories/myths bear no resemblance to intelligent thinking & yet million of people including my own sister (who is a Christadelphian) avidly believes every word & refuses to believe the scientific age of the Earth & won't even talk about Dinosaurs.
So don't even
dare question my reasoning on any of the above without making yourself look foolish.
&
Your saddened by
my lack of reasoning
give me strength
maybe a faith of some description could calm you down a little.
...i wont say all atheists as i have a few friends who are atheists but they dont have a problem with my beliefs and neither do i have problems with their beliefs. Just the ones in here seem to have that snobbish attitude towards religious people.
