In short the bible maybe the word of God but mankind had a big hand in it and skewed it for its on purposes. The Gospel of Mary Magdalene being one of the rejected books which gave woman a far more prominent role in the life and death of Jesus. Do I believe no, although I do believe there was an anti Roman political agitator called Jesus who was the Martin Luther King of his day. Yes, very good i compare Jesus to Ghandi

Man has been worshipping things since we had the capacity to think about such abstract ideas. I am firmly with Dawkins. He says we should celebrate life and even death since we are so statistically lucky to get the experience.

I believe that Easter is the best holiday as we have dinner with family and friends, no stressing over presents, choccy eggs for the kids, totally relaxed and no stress,wake up on Easter Monday with the mother of all hangovers, religion I just don't believe.

There is no God (Christian or otherwise) and religion is nothing but archaic superstition to help our ancestors explain nature and death. Hopefully the human race will grow out of it eventually, given all the hurt perpetrated in its name.
Goodness is what you do. Not who you pray to. |
