I have through years and years of going to church, and years of reading and studying the Bible come rather recently to the conclusion that the vast majority of it is man created. I just cannot believe a God whom is praised as being so loving and holy would not just allow, but command the cruelty of a great deal of attrocities in the scriptures. There is things of his command that are truly genocide of the innocent. I think man created a faith that he could understand, and also one that allowed him acts of power in politics, society, and sex. As for Jesus...I do believe him to be real yes, but see him more as a man who was a free thinker and truly trying to get in touch with the heart of God...not the dogma and legalities man had created. I do believe in a creator...I believe there is intelligent order to our universe. I just think God is a being or power that man can not even attempt to understand, so we create him in a way that benefits us the most.
