I make no claims to be a Biblical scholar or an authority on the subject, but don't you think with all the great minds that have come and gone since Jesus, the world would be a little closer to seeing the scripture as the myth that you see it as?

And as I read further, I was dumbfounded by your stupidly high opinion of yourself:

Quote:

If I really wanted to, I'm sure I could pull dozens of inconcistencies, at least, out of the Gospels alone.



Wow, just like that huh? People have been trying to do this unsuccessfully for thousands of years and all it took was for The Great Wisdom of bishop375 to come along.



First, I never claimed to NOT be judgemental. But, I'd rather be judgemental of a certain type of person who condemns people for something that is out of their control. If you told me that a person with Down's Syndrome CHOSE to have it, I'd treat you with the same disdain as I do for those that say people CHOOSE to be gay.

Second, there are several religions who see the Christian Bible as myth. Take the Jews, for example, who think the New Testament is a load of crap. But, obviously their opinions don't count because there are so few of them. Dozens of Pagan religions. Muslims. Buddhists. All think the same of the Bible. Shall I continue?

Third, I was in a Catholic school for nine years. I've read the Bible. Pretty much front to back, several times. In my head, even at the age of 9, I can remember reading things that didn't match up. What they were, I don't recall. And, no, people haven't been working thousands of years to find inconcistencies... they've been trying to find evidence of it all being true. Try again.
