Hey there, this is brilliant guide. I really loved. However , there are many of off topic comments. I honestly suggest you to delete or something like that. That’s only my estimation. All the best!

George Carlin is so right!!! The bible is such a joke, only people who are brain washed into believing it somehow preaches the same message is amazing. In the old times he had his people kill other people and slaughter other nations to prove he was strong, now they are not supposed to kill anyone, it was better for a guy to have relations with a prostitute than jerk off and then relations outside of marriage was wrong, his own king killed someones husband to take his wife, now what is that?? and then the whole flood and genesis bullsh i tttt, what sensible person would ever believe in that???? really???? it is not even possible, did the earth flood and the people in china and south america and egyps somehow live in a bubble so nothing was taken out of their history book? Was Noah and his sons such deviants they carried all the STD’s we have today, they were some stand up people huh? And they were able to cross breed with the animals enough I guess to come up with all of the different nationalities we have today, 6000 years later, grow up and stop being ignorant you religious nutjobs, humpty dumpty is as real as the bible will ever be!!!!!

Alllost, it is not credible for anyone to take the bible as a standard for anything, when it is not even self-consistent. Furthermore it is extremely annoying for you to claim that many of us here have not read the bible. Get a grip. Most westerners are force-fed that absurd collection of fairy tales known as the bible from early childhood onward. It is appalling in the modern world that anyone still buys into this nonsense of your bible as a "standard" considering all that has been shown to be wrong in the bible, such as how diseases propagate, how the earth was populated, the age and shape of the earth, and much much more. Perhaps you yourself should read a basic science textbook. And then some modern biology. Religion is for the ignorant, the gullible, and the stupid, and for those who would profit from them.

One cannot rid himself of his primal fears if he does not understand the nature of the universe but instead suspects the truth of some mythical story. So without the study of nature, there can be no enjoyment of pure pleasure.

Science must harmonise with the Bible with the Bible being the Standard for science and whatever else to match up to. Science is ever changing as the years roll by. Scientists theories and findings keep changing so texts get updated. men just floating another man’s ideas in changing times and developments. The Bible, the words of God, never changes. Remains the same yesterday, today and will remain forever. Archaeologists are discovering that bible history are true. Scientists are discovering there’s someone in control. Those who don’t believe that Jesus Christ paid the price for your sins and life has been given to you freely because of what He has done are already damned.
Give yourselves a trial run. Read a chapter in the Bible daily for three months and see if you are still the same person. Challenge yourself and see. Go buy yourself a Holy Bible. I guarentee you won’t be the same. God Bless evryone.

Ron, for this is not my only home, for my home is with my Father. You, Ron have another home if you see that Jesus came to save the dead and as you put it violent and selfish, let Jesus Christ show you how much He loves you or just be in a place like this funny guy on this clip.

I would just like to comment on the violent attitudes of the religious believers comments. I always notice that when you don’t agree with the views and comments of the so called (Christian’s) that they always are the first to get insulting and violent toward non-believers! It’s KILL the Infidel’s syndrome! You always get your “stupid” or “ignorant” or something worse from the believers if you try to just not believe! Where is my So-Called-Free-Will in that? Religious people are why we have so much violence in this world. because they cause the conflict of to believe or not believe! I do not believe there is a supreme being coming to save any of us! We are all alone in this and that has me even more scared! for I have no faith in man-kind ever getting past it’s violent selfish nature! Not too mention what we are doing to our own planet! Our ONLY HOME!

RIP George. You will be missed. I’m so glad I got to see him back in January a few months before he died.

Check out georgecarlin.com and go past the intro and read a section of his will. He wanted a total secular event following his death. I’m sure he got it. I found it completely interesting.

Sorry BC, for flippantly characterizing your post. You are explaining that certain parts of the Bible are mythical, and I don’t disagree. Such as the virgin birth in Bethlehem, definitely a story designed to raise Jesus up to God-hood and claim his lineage back to Abraham, or whomever. The December 25th date was set by Constantine, FYI, not in the Bible. But that’s not important to me.

My reference to “Kings” was a challenge to the question of what is historical proof. There are many historical figures that are not questioned, but we only know they existed because a bunch of people wrote about them. I’m willing to accept the conclusions of historians (many non-Christian) who accept that the non-miraculuos parts of the story happened, with some degree of error due to oral tradition, etc.

We now know a lot more about what is above the clouds, and how the earth rotates on a tilted axis creating the “ages” you speak of. It is our job to accept that people who wrote these stories didn’t know these things, and try to understand what it was they were dealing with. Seems to me it was someone pretty special, someone worth discussing.

Thomas Jefferson literally separated the myth from the (possibly) factual story, by rewriting the gospels without the miracles and angels and junk, http://books.google.com/books?id=kBZUJvBwZB8C&dq=thomas+jefferson+bible&pg=PP1&ots=n15FMXyFkK&sig=0WToF7x8UbumYIxt27VH90QNono&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPA92,M1
