Bla bla. Modern Humans have been around for 40,000-1 million years. The Jesus story is only one of many religions. Just like evolution happens slowly so does changing religions. We can't imagine a future where no ones a Mormon Muslim Christian or Jew but it's actually probable. Slowly humans are understanding we and our ancestors have been conned for thousands of years. But we don't tell gramma she's stupid we just let her die happy but we won't be going to ancient churches in 1000 years. God willing. We will make up a new religion. Hopefully one that doesn't start off with lies of past visits from this God. They will simply be called believersYou seem to agree, yet said "not really", so I'm not sure what you are saying.
"Many people believe or disbelieve in the existence of God based on the written words of scripture. Those who fail to comprehend the deeper meaning of the words and subjects, that are not necessarily directly connected to the literal meaning of the words used, are believing or disbelieving in God based on what scripture is not about."
In other words some people read genesis and believe that God created the solar system, the sun the earth, the first plants and animals, etc.in six days. Some people read genesis and do not believe that God created the solar system, the sun the earth, the first plants and animals, etc.in six days.
The truth of the matter is that the story of genesis is not about the creation of the solar system, the sun, the earth, the first plants and animals, etc.in six days, so everyone, believers and disbelievers alike, are believing or disbelieving and arguing with each other over what the story is not about.
What are you talking about? How is any of that a response to what I said?
Some people read Genesis and believe. Some read genesis and disbelieve. You think you are smarter because you don't believe? Think again.
The story is not about the creation of anything. You and believers have both made the same stupid mistake.
The story was never intended to be taken literally by intelligent people.
