i do believe in god however not in the way christians do...im sure ive said it before but ill say it again...

i think god is a metaphor for existence in itself, but people writing the bible couldnt get the message across and have people believe them unless they gave "god" human characteristics such as love and compassion and whatnot...

personally i have trouble believing in a book that logoically must have been written by men...if christianity is right and we are all equal and in the image of god and whatnot, then what makes the word some men more valid than the word of others? wouldn't proclaiming the bible as word of god when it is the word written by men be seen as a sin in itself...because wouldnt that inadvertently mean that the men who wrote it are bein seen as god ie false idols

and also i have a huge problem with the way christianity seems to caste many aspects of human nature as sinful...people are naturally envious sometimes, the instinct to survive can cause people to bear false witness and steal, and sometimes people are shit parents so why should they be honoured in those cases?

can someone clear this up for me?
