Hey guys, your reasons are all very interesting!! Thanks for the posts.
Ziddina, I was LMAO at that religious nut Jonathan Dough's posts. I could just feel his hatred for me just because I didn't believe in the book he puts his life on. People like him are the reason so many people have waged wars and died over that ridiculous man made book! That is a very interesting point you made about the active volcano Moses was on top of lol. I will add that one to my arsenal to defend my non-faith!
Joshnaz, I guess for some people the reason why they choose to disregard the Bible can go hand in hand with any religion that they were apart of. Alot of different reasons:social, religious, personal, science, FACTS that eventually make people stop believing in the all Holy Bible.
For me, I remember when I was really young going over the My Book of Bible Stories, I was always sad to the point of crying when Jehovah asked his peope to slaughter a innocent animal, burn it at the alter; that smell of death would please God. I still remember a picture of a lamb in that book getting slaughtered and burned. I have always loved my pets:dogs, cats, turtles, ect and did not see love or common sense in that command from God. Fast foward to 3 years ago, I was talking with a friend and he told me that the Catholics edited and put together the Bible canon. I dont know about you all but if the Catholics said it was sunny outside, I would automatically think it was a thunderstorm, hurricane, or twister. There was no way I would trust anything that came from the Catholic Church. All of these small facts stayed with me but the nail on the head was after I found out my beloved religon I would die for was just a hoax. That lead to me questioning EVERYTHING I was taught. I found out that the Global Flood NEVER HAPPENED!! Not one historian can find ANY evidence of this great phenomenom. I researched historical evidence that shows global human existence continued before, during, and after this fake global flood period. Plus, this story was borrowed from The Epic of Gilgamesh (a myth that pre-dates the Bible flood story)
Then automatically I remembered Jesus referring to a Global Flood...But wait, there was no global flood. At that moment I knew I could no longer believe the Bible was God's Word, because it as fallible and man made. After that I found all the inconsistancies and stolen mythological stories found in the Bible. I just wish everyone would throw their blind faith out the door and only live their life on good choices and love!!
