I'm a Chick, actually.
And, please do quote me! I love it, being posted on FTSDT. Even though I'm not a Fundamentalist Christian. I've added so many quotes over the years, I love that I got on here too. I have to laugh at myself for saying something stupid enough to get on here.
Yeah, I was totally talking out my ass in this post. I must have been really baked. No clue what I was going for. Something about the Bible being written by man and so it is imperfect, I'm guessing.
God can't write a book, for sure. I doubt He (if He does, indeed, exist at all) does anything to effect humans at all, and probably doesn't know that our species exists. A being powerful enough to "create the entire universe" (which might also not exist *wink* ) wouldn't waste its time with a tiny mortal race on some backwater planet.
I doubt that any religion humans have ever invented could full comprehend an all-knowing, all-powerful being. I can't imagine that anyone has gotten it right, ever. And humans are probably too stupid and small minded to ever understand it.
But for me, personally, I have gone through many personal experiences that show me the truth of my spiritual beliefs. That is, they make sense to me. I wouldn't expect anyone else to agree with me - they haven't had the same experiences that I have.
I make decisions based on valid ethical theory, not based on my religious beliefs. I would make basically the same actions if I didn't believe in any religion. *shrugs* I just believe in what helps me to explain my own personal experiences.
Also really baked as I write this. Forgive me (or point and laugh) if it doesn't make sense. Have a good day, hope my quote made you laugh!
