I'm not saying this study is 100% truth. It's just a study. But it's much more tangeable than anything in the bible, yet people believe that more. It doesn't make any sense.
.....
Think back to the "time of jesus". They didn't have a good way of keeping records. So the stories were passed on and eventually written down. To me, it doesn't make a lick of sense to base ones life on a collection of stories that have absolutly no way of beeing proven or verified. Yet people find this study more hard to believe.
a. the first paragraph here shows your close minded ignorance and quite frankly, i find it offensive.
are you asking the faithful to say "oh science and statistics said im wrong, i no longer believe that there is a greater being." again, ignorant.
truth be told, whether or not any "God" actually exists is irrelevant IMO. some believe that there is a "God" some think its blasphemy. but one thing is for certain, at least those of us that have some faith have something to believe in. nothing bad comes from religion as it was intended from the begining - whether the begining is "God" or some crazy people from 1000's of years ago that "made up some stories" all religion is based on peacefulness, a life of morality, and altruism. so when people come around make jokes or basicly discredit anything that comes from religion, thats bullshit IMO.
