OK.

However, it is as sensible�no, more sensible�to believe that Satan wrote the Bible than to believe that God wrote it. The reasons why a good being could not have written it are explained in the opening post.

The point of this thread was to try to get Christians to think about their beliefs regarding the Bible and God.
I do know that. But there are many points to respect. Neither Christians, Moslems nor Jews have an understanding about the meaning of the Torah myths. The confidence in a spiritual causality is not a crime. If you know, what the correct ethical way to go is, teach this. You cannot create light (metaphor) telling the people, that it is dark (metaphor).

Before a new building can be created, the old one occupying the intended space must be demolished.

That's holds only for this world. Your children will kick you on trash, sometime and they don't care about your war in your mind.

Exact this demolishing of 'new born Egypt's' as metaphor for the physical body of men is dramatized in that Torah myths (Passover), you beat on. 'Israel' is a metaphor for the soul that escapes from this physical building called human body.

I simple parable. The spiritual part of the human can be aware about its eternal existence, but the building 'body' will die, and you may know that.

To demolish buildings only because to build another mortal body ad infinitum is stupid. It is the increase of spiritual knowledge, which is relevant leaving dead old buildings back, were this implies also the buildings crated by the mind, called religious ideas.

Religions have forgotten this knowledge, and talking nonsense, but it is saved hidden in the Torah myths as parables to recognize by each individual, that is free from the bondage of secular power of the religions, perceiving spiritual order directly by its own.

on a quick side note, one of the early church cults believed that the god of the old testament was a maniac/satan figure, much as I do, and they decladred that jesus was the son and prophet of a god yet to come.

they were quickly purged from the church, and forgotten to all but historians.
