Kate, do you think God had a part in writing the bible?
I find myself thinking that if there is a God and God is good and Satan is evil that Satan probably was the one that wrote the bible.
I don’t really know what to make of the bible. It does seem to have had some sort of organization or coordination between the different books. This would suggest it had or has a purpose, but it doesn’t seem very accurate. I have to admit I haven't done much bible reading or research since leaving the JWs so my understanding could be quite skewed.
My current belief is that we have no clue what is going on and sometime in the future we will find out things are not as they seem. I probably won’t be around to see it. If there is a creator I don’t think he created humans directly. Maybe the universe was started by some sort of creator and we are just a side effect or something.
If there is a creator of us directly I think he is probably looking down on us and thinking “I gave these guys everything to create a great life for themselves and they spend their time fighting over who is right".
