I don't understand how some can base their arguments on a book, maybe some of you could shed some light that I may not have considered?
Don't get me wrong, I grew up in a fully Christian family and attended church every Sunday for 12 years of my life (after which I chose to take another direction and live life for and from myself), I can understand the meaning behind the words, the direction that it is supposed to set our minds and actions towards, but it's still just a book, right?
The fact that the word was 'sent by God' is very questionable and though it could be a test of faith, (to believe that god could touch the lives of some to creat such an epic) but it can also just be the proof of the misenturpritation created over centuries of 'story telling'.
I see saying 'Becasue God said so' as a very weak argument in this modern day and age of facts and realism.
