I don't want to sound condescending or sarcastic, but I just can't see why so many people believe these old myths that were borrowed from Greeks and Egyptians and Babylonians and cobbled together in a book called the bible. Almost nothing in it is actually true. I've been reading a book by D.M. Murdock called "Did Moses Exist?" It is extremely well reseached. There are so many absurdities in the bible. How can anyone believe it?
Another good bookis "The Myth of Persecution" by Candida Moss. "Creating Christ" by James S. Valliant is another good read.
If humanity could put religion behind it and stop killing each other in endless wars, we could accomplish great things. Religion is like a big anchor lodged in the ignorance of the iron age and holding us back. I wish we could all free ourselves.
Atheists, what are your views on religion in general?
