Faith is a belief, science is fact. They do co-exist. I was brought up a christian and I'm certainly no scientist. However, I believe the bible is fictional. Back in the days when the bible was created it was entertainment and people made money from it and became wealthy, more and more people got involved in the 'industry'. People need entertainment and people need answers. In my opinion, Faith provides both of these and law/control. I don't believe the bible but I do believe that it has helped the world keep peace to an extent. Also, it has caused war and death and I do believe that the church and whatever religion you believe in definitely exploits its believers. Maybe there was a Jesus, I just think he was a very good story teller.

If Jesus came to your house, To spend a day or two.
If he came without warning, I wonder what you'd do?
Yes if Jesus came to your house, To spend a day or two.
If he came unexpected, Just dropped in on you.
Ahh I know you'd give you nicest room, To such an honored guest.
And all the food you'd serve to him, Would be your very best.
And you would keep reassuring him, That you're glad to have him there.
That serving him in your home, Is joy beyond compare.
But when you saw him coming, Would you meet him at the door?
With arms out stretched in welcome, To your heavenly visitor?
Or would you have to change you clothes, Before you'd let him in?
Or hide some magazines, And put the Bible where they had been?
Would you turn off the radio? And hope he hadn't heard.
And wish you hadn't uttered, That last loud hasty word?
Would you hide your worldly music? And put some hymn books out?
Could you just let Jesus walk right in? Or would you rush about?
And I wonder, If the savior spent a day or two with you.
Would you go right on doing, The things you always do?
Would you go right on saying, The things you always say?
Would life for you continue, As it does from day to day?
Would your family conversation, Keep up its usual pace?
And would you find it hard each meal to say a table grace?
Would you sing the songs you always sing?
And read the books you read?
And let him know the things on which you mind and spirit feed?
Would you take Jesus with you everywhere you planned to go?
Or maybe would you change your plans, For just a day or so?
Would you be glad for him meet your very closest friends?
Or hope that they'd stay away, Until his visit ends?
Would you be glad to have him stay forever on and on?
Or would you sigh with great relief, When he at last was gone?
It might be interesting to know the things that you would do,
If Jesus came in person, to spend some time with you.

If Jesus came to your house, I wonder what you'd do?

Our justice system is a fair one. We punish the criminal, but we also try to see the reasons behind the act of criminality, before sentencing a punishment.

We learned that every act of wrong-doing can be blamed on the individual, but also on the society as a whole.
The bible is all about sin and repent. Society has learned that a 'sin' can have much deeper grounds and can have reasons beyond the individual.

God's law: sin and repent, else you'll end up in Hell.
Society: sin, and we'll try to help you, educate you in becoming a better person and we'll give you a second chance.

I believe that society has much more evolved the last centuries than God has.

Isn't it about time that God came with a new set of laws, which make a little more sense to our intelligent society ?

Eric Hoffer (1902-83) a US philosopher said:

" To know a person's religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his his brand of intolerance."

Your views on this?
