Default We must face reality

All the arguements for and against bible truths and lies should end and we must all realize that the bible is a book of fraud and fiction.

We must realize that we humans have evolved and that the God of abraham is just that a god, not a creator of anything.

Jesus is also a myth and we must realize that there is no savior and when we die we go six foot under to rot,there is no eternal life.

It was very hard pill for me to swallow but I accepted that fact.

With unanswered prayers,and a priest who excommunicated me from the catholic church the transition was bearable.

While I agree with all of your points, you give no arguments, thus making this no better than a christian saying, "face it- accept Jesus or burn in hell!"

The way to fight religious ignorance is with reason, not with preaching.

<magus>The Bible is true in every word, you just haven't read it properly and you're making a misinterpretation!</magus>

Now would that be based on your opinion, or fact? Has anyone come back from the grave to tell you there is no afterlife? Or are you concluding there is no such thing, just because you haven't seen it?

There is an afterlife, and it just happens to be the afterlife the ancient egyptians described so well.

also make sure you have statues of your servants, so they can come to life again and serve you, and bury plenty of food with you as well so you won't go hungry.
