Why do people believe in a book, the bible, that has been edited, manipulated, and mistranslated so often. It was written centuries after the, so called, events happened. Come on, you all know what happens to a story when it's verbally passed on, which is what happened to the biblical stories long before they were ever written for the first time. What's up with this vengful god (first testiment)? Why does it, God, advocate killing people, sacrificing animals, demanding that one prays to it. The new testiment has some nice guidlines for living in a larger society, but that's about it. I have yet to meet any orginised religion (regardless of faith or denomonation) that doesn't try to brainwash people to believe thier way. Why do various religions believe that thiers is the only "true" way? It's all about power and control of people. Let's face it, most people are sheep and will follow others.
