The Bible is full of contradictions and many of the teaching seem more like fables than actual historic events. Jesus brings up a bunch of questions as well. The virgin birth seems a bit out there to me. Why do the stories go from birth and skip to age 30? I do not believe God and Christ were the same. That is possible of course but not realistic. I think Jesus may have lived and taught many of the things quoted in the bible however I think he was just another man not the son of god, the savior or god in the trinity. The people and kings I guess felt threaten and had him killed. That’s what I think in regards to Jesus. God is almighty so why would he need to create a human son from a virgin have him wander around earth for 30 years and then spread the gospel and be crucified for the worlds sins? Plus the integrity of the bible is questionable since it was written by man and has been translated many times over thousands of years. History also shows how religion has been used by man to control the people. I think the bible is a good book full of good lessons to guide us to live better lives.
Adam and Eve and the 6000 year old Earth.
God made man but I really doubt he just made one man Adam and then pulled a rib from him and made Eve. The whole Apple story is a fable as well. Good lesson. Carbon dating is proof the world is older.
I believe there is good and evil in the world. I believe our soul is hard wired to know the difference. That thought you get in your head “This doesn’t seem right” when you are about to do something immoral. Or “This is the right thing to do” when you are about to help someone out. God gives us free will to make a decision either we ignore the feeling(voice in our head) and do the bad deed or we listen to it and do the right thing. Its called our conscience.
I believe in what goes around comes around. If you are a bad person bad things will come back to you and vise versa. Some seemingly good people seem to go through hell and never have good luck. That I don’t understand. God has a reason though. I believe we all have souls separate from our bodies. When our body dies our soul lives on. Heaven to me is a place where you are extremely happy for eternity. Hell is the opposite. I don’t know what gets you to either place. I think living a good life and having a good heart is key. Ruthless self centered evil people probably go to hell. I strongly believe in the do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Another problem I have with Christians is there belief that all people who do not believe in Christ can not go to heaven simply because you have to enter heaven through Jesus by believing in him. So all no Christian people are going to hell. So all the good people in the world that are non Christians are going to hell. God is much bigger than that.
Judging other people.
Thou shalt not judge. How many self proclaimed Christians do this? You know the difference between a Baptist and a Methodist? A Methodist will speak to you in the liquor store and the Baptist will not!
I don’t believe in judging other people. Most people that judge others have not looked in the mirror. They may be very surprised if they do. As humans we have too many of our own issues to work out rather than looking down on other peoples issues and actions.
Now some things like robbery, rape and murder are different stories. I do look down on and Judge people who commit crimes such as these. I also look down on hypocrites.
EDIT: I don't believe in any current religion.

My take on religion (Not here to bash beliefs):
I have seen no visual proof of either God, Jesus, the Devil, or any other fictional beings (fictional until proven otherwise aka visual proof) so I have no faith; thus me not believing in either.
EDIT: I do however, unlike most religions, respect everyone's belief(s) and will not judge.
My take on how man was created (Not here to bash theorists'

If evolution created man then why do you even have a purpose, You actually believe evolution created the DNA code. Darwins theory has been disproven through the fossil records just look at the phyla.

Its sad for the Jews because the Old Testament shows them Jesus yet they cannot believe it

What? You make so little sense. Im not saying i know man is made. Im saying I know scientifically, 100% that man was not created by a 'higher power'. Im not saying whatever man evolved from was not created by such power, but I can 100% say that modern day man, and many of the 'creatures' we have evolved from were not created by a higher power, but by evolution. It has been proven. The only disproof that there has been is that there was a 'missing link' between two of our ancestors. However it is generally accepted that it simply is just that, a Missing link. How can you be so ignorant to say darwins theory is wrong? The world we live in right now is living proof of his theory, we witness so many evolutions occuring daily, the most common being the virus that causes the common cold. Im sorry, but your ignorance is amusing. You come across as just another religious nut, who clearly hasn't explored the scientific view enough to argue against it.

You cant be 100% sure of anything science tells you because they have failed you, also its just a theory and yes darwins theory is wrong like I stated earlier he could not explain the simple cell and look at the missing link of the fossil records. You have such blind faith because you are believing in 50 billion species with only 1 of them having intelligent life after 4 billion years according to your faith. And im ignorant right

That sounds the most like my take on religion. I don't really believe in most of it, but I do respect other people's opinions and beliefs when it comes to it.

oh ok, i have blind faith? im not the one who makes up answers simply because i cant understand something. religion is lazy, for people who cant be bothered to search for an answer. and yes, you are ignorant. i am far more inclined to believe something which has thousands of fossils, reports etc. written by many different scientists, than some 'fairytale' someone made up years ago to try and cmfort the idiots in society. So yes, you are ignorant. and no im not, im logical. Im sorry for believing something which actually has a valid explanation and evidence to accompany it.
