Thread: What is the reason of your existence?

Btw, I really think its that simple. Christians believe the words written in the Bible came from god so these are sacred words. They dont even begin to ponder the question of their true origin.
And if we re to say thats indeed true, then we must follow gods word all time, even if its illegal or immoral..


Laws of Rape (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NAB)

If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her

Some Christians believe that, but probably not all and maybe not even most. Skepticism of Christianity - or any religion for that matter - is healthy, and I get where you are coming from. Christianity has a long history of violence and hate, and still today many use the Bible as an excuse for their hate. However, I think there are nuggets of wisdom in most religions. They all have tiny fragments of the truth. I do agree with Sageous that cherry picking the Bible is the way to go.

Creation or the nature of heaven, God, the universe, or topics of this nature discussed in the Old Testament are very interesting, if studied in the original Hebrew, and have given me insight to the nature of existence.
