when words of wisdom become a faith or worse a religion..it's a key pathway to exploitation ...words of wisdom should be a guide, not a doctrine

religion == placing an intermediary between men and their gods

exactly, davey...

@SirW00f I don't believe in religions myself because they're human institutions, but i only can be categorized as being christian because i believe in Jesus.

it's a power play

there is no way tp have more power over people then deciding what they believe is real

power play, territory control, human population control factors and exploitation

earth is 6000 years old change my mind

the bible doesn;t claim that

not once

in fact the bible says nothing about the age of the earth or humanity

human recorded history over the past 600yrs basically showed how kingdoms were controlled by religions/faith leaders and most of their 'wars' were under orders of the faith leaders

but u can't have the Bible spoon feed you, you need to do research urself. there are numbers in the bible, you have more than you know…

eventually the wars became over trivial crap or money/territory

the way the 6000 year figures was come up with

they added all the ages of people mentioned in the bible

davey, imho....that number was fudged by an extra zero

lol

the earth is millions of years old, humans in their current configuration are about 1.5 million years old

the 'dark ages' ...imo...was when their world was dark and bleak...not our world

@Thoutzan @DaveyJones Yes with the Bible, some people have been able to date approximately the age of Humanity

been thru many ages of advancement ...only to be basically 'blasted back to the stone age' a few times

lol the bible itself is older then 6000 years

the stories in it that is

rex, bible gets rewritten a few times...history is questionable even with the bible

i used to ponder thru old greek fables and such

makes one wonder about 'divine wisdom' in even bleak ages

imo the bible was intended to convey ideas, not serve as a factual reference doc

divine wisdom?

@SirW00f Of course, you do not have everything in the Bible, just because God's history can't be confined inside a book. But the Bible remains the main support to start to learn about who is God and what He expects from us here, on Earth

one does not need proof of god for all of existence is a proof of god

you can't prove that 😛

we're not god til we can make whole universes ..virtual gaming environments don't count as 'god like' behavior

well the bible states that we are god's children

so then he would have had to create humans out of fragments of himself

which is the only concept of god that makes any real sense to me

@DaveyJones Yes, but only from the moment that you believe in Him, otherwise you're just a God's creature

lol belief is irrelevant in this model
