No, ... it is a book of myths and people sometimes don't understand or remember that is what it is...I'm calling it a book of myths.

Why trash religion, what is the purpose? Not one person is going to denounce his beliefs because of your question.

You can call it what you want, but depending on which country you live in, you'd be largely outnumbered in your belief. In the U.S. there are roughly 224 million Christians and only 1.3 million atheists as of 2004. Judaism, those that believe in the Old Testament part of the Bible, number around 4 million. Even the Islamic faith outnumbers you at 1.5 million. All of these religions believe in parts of the same book you're trying so hard to denounce. Good luck with that.
As for me, I'll keep believing.

I guess the fact that things are turning out just like the bible says infuriates you.Take Israel becoming a state in 1948 is a good start.That was prophecy fulfilled.China is on it's way to having a enormous army.Hmm?Did you know that King Solomons Gate was found?Guess that doesn't matter either.

There is too much evidence to the contrary. If you were truly an honest man and had an objective mind about faith
[which you don't] you could be more on target with God.
You have only a cursory knowledge of the biblical faith. To have used your statement above shows your limitations of knowledge.

In 2 Timothy read the following and see if you see yourself there.
Chapter 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
THERE IS HOPE FOR EVERYONE INCLUDING YOU
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10

Call it what you want.
the bible says "unbelievers have eyes but won't see and ears but won't hear."
That book isn't for unbelievers anyway it's full of promises to the believers. Accept it or not. I don't care.

Would calling "Lost" a TV show about people living in Kentucky prevent confusion?
Don't be stupid!

To tell you the truth it doesn't really matter what you THINK it is, who are you? It doesn't really matter, sorry man.
