Bible

The title says it all: Atheists are always saying that Christians are close-minded and only get their info from 1 book, which I would have to agree with, but Atheists follow this same close-mindedness, just 1 step up.

I think a lot of people get turned off from the Bible because it uses all these outdated terms and just doesn't mesh with our current vocabulary a lot of the time. People forget that the Bible was written by a much more primitive man and they were explaining things based off their current level of science and understanding. Since these times I think we have progressed forward and can now understand things on a more accurate level.

It hit me today. The Bible talks about the evil forces being very deceiving and smart and it's totally true. The craziest part is I really think the people who are most fooled are the people who are supposed to be the least fooled (Christians + others). Lack of consciousness, thought and growth appears to be extremely deadly.

Let me first say that I do in fact study the Bible and agree with the teachings it presents. What I don't get, however, is why people won't look at anything outside of the Bible for guidance, knowledge and truth. I guess it has to do somewhat with being scared of having to be questioned on your beliefs and also not caring enough about what you believe to even research it and understand it. I find it strange how a compilation of various God inspired scriptures are magically picked to be the only 100% accurate representation of our life and our God. It just doesn't make sense to me. I could be wrong but let's think about this.
