  When you think about it , in this 21st Century of enlightenment , the explosion of information technology in all fields imaginable , yet the majority of humans of all faiths live their lives according to ancient scriptures / writings etc.for a world long past its use by date.

  The Bible says" faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for " None of the expectations hoped for in the Jehovah`s Witness religion ever eventuated , and neither has it in any other faith .

  Faith , of no matter what belief , is the carrot on the end of a stick leading the gullible on , and on , and on .and on.

  Oh, man, it just blows me away how such a majority of the human race is superstitious.

  It's everywhere! Swear on the bible, in god we trust...

  Written by primitive tribal people - how convenient that in some of the stories some guy did horrible things, but if he sucked up to God it was ok.

  Yes, I agree. Scriptures are human answers to human question.

  When something is of human origin, it is definitely based on guess work, and it is inevitable bound to bring disagreement, hence split and sects.

  Are you saying Smiddy, that it makes no sense to trust as real a book that presents a talking snake (and Donkey), a guy who raises the dead, walks on water and was born of a virgin ?

  Child sacrifice as with Abraham, women as chattels, marry your rapist, the list goes on...

  It would even be stupid to even live with the injunctions our great grandparents grew up with.

  Thank goodness for the internet and transparency of information...along with humanistic welfare putting human needs above those of invisible Gods.
