I don't want to go too deep into this topic but I'll give my two cent's...The bible has been F--kin distorted by man, plan and simple. For example I read that one of the holy men I forget who he was, slept with a prostitute but the bible preaches against prostitution. There's a whole lot of contradictory stories in the bible, not to mention slavery, stoning of the women for cheating and not the man, all kind's of crazy stuff. The bible was used for political reasons and I believe that some of the passages were written in later times. Believe it or not the bible is a conglomeration of myths from around the world and political rhetoric. Now I'm not saying that those myths were just some mumbo jumbo, they were stories to explain the creation of life. I do believe in God, but not the one of the bible.
