Isn't it disgusting how innocent children get fed Biblical myths and are expected to believe ridiculous tales?

I totally agree and I don't think you are downing religion; at least I don't feel you are.  There are religions out there that can terrify little kids, even big kids!  And even I start getting paranoid when people come to my door and spout evil things that are going to happen any time!  There is a time and place for religion and personal beliefs, but pushing it on kids is a bad idea.  Exposing them to your beliefs is one thing, but letting them make their own choice is another.

It is correct to say, though maybe not so appropriate.  So many people believe that it is borderline being mean to say that they believe in a fictional character.  Only through education and logical reasoning can we erradicate religion.

If your view is accurate that just shows how really ignorant and foolish mankind really is. For billions of people throughout human history to be duped into believing something like the Bible is simply ludicrous. Please give three things that you claim to false about the Bible and  lets debate them on Yahoo Answers.

The bible should never be considered anything but a work of fiction.\nEdit: I'd also like to point something else out. A lot of people are making the statement that God threatening with the possibility of hell is like a parent warning a child against a blazing fire. For one, the act of burning a child, though perhaps practical, is very cruel and sadistic. Kind loving parents would take a more practical and less cruel approach: simply do all that is necessary to keep the child away from the fire. There are numerous other logical fallacies in this analogy, but I would hope that they are painfully obvious to anyone intelligent enough to consider religion critically.

Yes, too many Christians today resemble those hypocrites. They have all these little traditions and clicks instead of spreading love and goodwill like Jesus did. That’s why I stay away from Church and those places. Those people scare me...They don't know the real GOD, they just use Gods word to judge others. Think about this...Hitler believed that the bible justified what he did. Really...Judgment is not to be done by us.

Yes, just as crazy.\nThe "Bible rib story" is pretty fooking retarded as well. Guess it lies in personal comprehension. Simple people need simple answers.

It's called entertainment.  It's not real - the author admits he made it up.  Like all other entertainment, it's crap.  If you're religious and pray, you should also listen to God - His Word speaks truth.  If you want truth, read the Bible.

http://www.knowledge.co.uk/sis/ba9712bp.htm\n\nCheck out the link above. What I have come to believe like many others from studying the subject of bronze age natural disastors is that often stories and myths tie very well with geological events, such as tsunamis (parting of the sea for moeses and the jews) earthquakes etc. Stories in the bible can be traced back to earlier myths which existed before the bible was written. I would not beleive hat the bible describes word for word as throught he ages, stories have been altered to provide an exaggerated picture of true events to capture the imagination of the reader/pupil. How many times have you exaggerated a story just so it sounds better to the listner? Now apply 2000years to that and you know what I mean. Anyway the above link is an interesting read.

No a mix of relgious brainwashing.\n\nAnd oppression.. Ie take palestinians.\n\nIf your home was taken, and you thrown into a camp where the toilet was a ditch, your friends died of poverty and desease whilst the hose thieves lorded it over you would you not be pissed?

Everything is about what we are taught. If you put three children together who are not old enough to have misconceptions and bigotry, they will play and have fun based on their base feelings. \n\nThis way of thinking is taught and I say "shame on them" to the parents allowing this, but then again, the parents were taught as well.\n\nLike all bad habits, the chain must be broken by rethinking the way of believing ones own truths.

Because their ancient book of tribal myths tells them too.\n\nThey have no proof, only because thier "Bible" tells them so.\n\nThey even condemn other versions of Christianity!  So it's no wonder why they can't play nice with the other kids on the block.  They can't even play with their own "kind" nicely.\n\nSupposedly Hiduism is the oldest religion, dating some 5,000 or 6,000 years ago.\n\nNow that's old for a religion.

You see how angry Christians get when you call the Bible "fairy tales"?  The reason they get so angry is because you are attacking the very foundation of their lives, and their perception of their entire world.\n\nThey have never considered an existence without a belief in these fairy tales.  And for you to call them this, is a stoning offense.\n\nThat's why they still believe them.  They have been brainwashed since birth to give credence to the bible.  And no matter how ridiculous these beliefs may be, they won't dare question it, and will react quite angrily to anyone who does.  And I think in most cases, insulting their intelligence actually has the opposite effect you would desire.\n\nInstead, I would simply post non-offensive questions that they will have to think about to answer.  That's all you can do.  Get them thinking.  Because they won't listen to what you or I tell them.  They'll have to open their own eyes first.

Christians have many, many warped and bizarre answers to the ludicrous writings in The Bible. They always amuse me.

the bible is just plagiarized myths from older myths

I beleive you have somewhat of a good point....the parables of the Bible and the lessons of Aesop's Fables do seem to have a common thread. In both there exists a message of right verses wrong, the consequences of evil acts and the rewards of decent behavior. Is it any wonder that both have endured the test of time even til this day....~~~

I so agree with you ,you wouldn't even believe. They want to make something that God called an "abomination", to be something natural when it fact it is as natural as a cat with a dog's body. I pray for the children in these sick relationships. I actually ride the bus here in NY and I see gay females with kids, like they created these kids together, how disgusting and unnatural.
