I don't think anyone can deny that there's something seriously wrong with Christianity. Sure there's the basic message of God, Jesus and his forgiveness for our sins. But why are there so many denominations? Why so many beliefs all from the same book?
I consider myself a critical thinker and a Christian. I realize the Bible is a compilation of books which in themselves were excrepts from an earlier era (there no wonder contradictions are easily googled).
Above all this, these separate books were pretty much voted into canon by "qualified" people then translated eventually into English. There no wonder the thing is as cryptic as it is. Personally I have studied examples from the original hebrew pentateuch and I can very well understand how meaning is easily lost.
This poses many problems. There are those who take the Bible as literal fact, which doesn't work out so well... And then there are those who base their interpretations from this mess. I will say it: there is something seriously wrong here considering its supposed to be God's most holiest gift to man.
