Christians....How can you not see that the Bible is a book of fairytales and legends?

Question

Btw, I'm just trying to figure out your mindset. I don't understand how people can believe in a book of centuries-old tales, that's all.

Spring loaded horsie...that's an excellent example. Interesting.

Answer 1

There are many thinking, liberal Christian who do in fact see much of the Biblical record as myth.

Answer 2

Believe what you wish, nobody is forcing you to read it. If someone wants to believe it let them have the faith to follow it and do so, just as you have the right to stay away from it. What I have read from it and what I see happening in these days leads me to believe the book is right, but even if I showed you where and what it said, you wouldn't believe it or you would have nothing to say. Those that are hard of heart will never see or hear, they would rather stay in darkness then step into light. I won't condemn you for it, it's your choice to stay or come, if you do not take the offer now, maybe you will later.

Answer 3

I agree with what the first two posters said, and I am a Christian.
However, there are some parts of the Bible that are accurate. For instance, it contains many historical accuracies about the history of the Jewish people and the life of Jesus of Nazareth.

Answer 4

What do you think? i mean seriously...
First of all the bible and the book of mormon are my scriptures, and they are TRUE
so.. second of all
you can't tell a christian that what they believe isn't true..
it gets them mad
and third
how do you know what is true and what isn't? did you read it did you pray for the truth sincerely etc. etc. etc.
Because if you didn't that is just the same as saying you don't like cake without even trying a piece

Answer 5

Its very easy. Its like saying how is it possible not to see something that doesnt exist.

I dont see the Bible as a book of fairytales and legend because it isnt a book of fairytales and ledgends. duh.

If im wrong, then its kinda "oh well", but if ur wrong....well....ye, i think u get the idea.

Answer 6

because they were raised to be brainwashed. monkey see monkey do, like their parents. religion in general is the largest single case of mass hysteria.

it's ironic because the continuation of religion just enforces the fact that we are nothing but dumb animals. we just happen to be the smartest animals on the planet at the time, and some think they need a metaphysical explanation for "why we're here".

Answer 7

How can you not see that the bible is the Truth?

if you don´t want to believe that don't believe it, but it doesn´t take away the fact that it is the word of god.

Take care.

Answer 8

I guess you don't realize that this question is asked all the time. Go somewhere else and stop attacking Christians. It's so funny to hear you say, "how can you not see."...That's what I think of you.

Answer 9

Why? Because you say so? The Bible has as much if not more corroboration as any book from it's era. Enjoy your opinion but don't expect intellegent people to agree.

Answer 10

It's older than most lives. It's like telling my 3 year old Cinderella isn't real. The mind set isn't there and she has been around a lot longer than my kid has, so what is she to believe.

Answer 11

For me it is because it is a tried and proven book. I can not doubt it's authenticity. So how can I say it is a book that is fake?
