The exact opposite of this is true. Pointing out flaws in the bible, a book which was written by man and modified thousands of times to fit the current political agenda of the time does absolutely nothing to detract from the spiritual nature of human beings. Our minds and bodies have evolved to detect, contemplate, understand, and work with spirit in its many different forms and no amount of pointing out plot holes in a book of fables is going to change that.
I give it about 2 weeks, and this is the stance that Brotherbuz will be touting as well.
Look, I disagree with the way
Padawanbater made his post. I (usually) am the last to get rude (unless I want some fun, reference Brotherbuz). But i also disagree wth your defense of the bible. The bible has been the number one thing Christians/Catholics have referenced when trying to remove all doubt from anyone about their faith. To remove that and say its been replaced by 'spiritual bedrock' would go against everything the very religions we speak of have taught for thousands of years.
Now if you want to say YOU are so enlightened that you no longer need the bible, and understand the 'true meaning' (i would assume that would be to lead a good life) then thats great, and i wish more people would do so. But to try to say that
we have '
evolved' (that really made me laugh, evolve lol) to not need the book, is a fallacy. Say it like it is friend. YOU have evolved passed the need for the book, and i greatly commend you for that, whatever your spiritual beliefs may be.
Now if only more people who look at their spirituality YOUR WAY would realize that they haven't 'evolved' (again, just funny that someone defending the bible would use that word) or been 'enlightened' at all.
They merely walked out of the cave.
