Diving deeper into the Bible caused me finally give up the idea that the bible is the word of god, I still think the bible a book that offer's insight into human nature and psychology, shadow projections, conflicts with the ego and self. I learned not to take the bible as literally word for word as that would be a very big mistake. And lets not forget all discovered gnostic early Christian writings describing Jehovah as a disobedient son of Sophia(wisdom), who created mankind to enslave him into total obedience to satisfy his megalomania and give him constant praise.
I think the search for meaning and truth should be never ending, and definitely not with teachings of some religion that claims to have all the answers. Studies show fundamentalism leads to brain shrinkage and that ain't no joke.
