Today we have a few more evolved tools to help us with our lives:
Science - helps explain how the universe works
Laws - helps keep the order, based on what's good for everyone.
Religion has several sets of rules that ARE stupid today:
- circumcision: not necessary today.
- not eating pork : today we can avoid the diseases that were commonly transmitted by pigs.
- not working on saturdays under punishment of death: need I comment on this?
An lately, Jews gave the world god? Therefore god is manmade.
And why is this god unable to speak for himself and is perceived completely different by every religion?
Does he always need a MAN to spread his word?
Omnipotent bu can't speak?
Omniscient and let evil happens?
All loving and let it's innocent creation suffer?
Does he let an entire race suffer for the sins of two individuals?
Isn't he clear enough in it's revelations?
Why doen't he do anymore of the cool stuff he was used to do according to the old testament?
I rest my case.
