Where did everyone go?

I was enjoying the discussion and getting to quote Bible passages again.

See I actually read the Bible, with an analytical mind, hoping that what I was taught when I was younger is the truth.

GOD gave me this analytical and inquiring mind, so I use the gift.

But alas, I keep coming up against the same old hurdles.

The Bible is so seriously flawed that I just can't believe people have missed all the things, others and myself have shown in this thread.

Belief, Faith & Indoctrination seem to weaken a person's comprehension skills when I would have hoped it heightened them. I guess that is proof that "belief & faith" are the kindergarten levels of spirituality.

I have made this point on other threads.

Didn't some ancient tribes throw young women into volcanoes to appease the volcano GODs?

Did they have faith? Did they have belief it would work?

Were they correct? NO!

So faith and belief are pretty poor guides, aren't they?

With all the horrors carried out in the name of religion over the centuries, and some even proven by the Bible, how can anyone say it is GOD's word.

I'm continually amazed!
