There are hundreds of 'bibles'. Hundreds of myths from different religions.They are the efforts of our primitive ancestors to understand the world. They are tales that give insight into the minds of ancient people. But we have advanced since then.
No. I don't think I understand everything without the knowledge gained by many thousands of people throughout the ages. Newton, Einstein, Darwin are among the many individuals and teams of thinkers and researchers who have advanced our understanding of the world.

This Newton, Bert?
"Isaac Newton (4 January 1643 – 31 March 1727)[1] was considered an insightful and erudite theologian by his contemporaries.[2][3][4] He wrote many works that would now be classified as occult studies and religious tracts dealing with the literal interpretation of the Bible.[5]
Newton's conception of the physical world provided a stable model of the natural world that would reinforce stability and harmony in the civic world. Newton saw a monotheistic God as the masterful creator whose existence could not be denied in the face of the grandeur of all creation.[6][7] Although born into an Anglican family, by his thirties Newton held a Christian faith that, had it been made public, would not have been considered orthodox by mainstream Christianity;[8] in recent times he has been described as a heretic."

This Darwin, Bert?
"Charles Darwin had a non-conformist Unitarian background, but attended a Church of England school.[1] With the aim of becoming a clergyman he went to the University of Cambridge for the required BA degree, which included studies of Anglican theology. He took great interest in natural history and became filled with zeal for science as defined by John Herschel, based on the natural theology of William Paley which presented the argument from divine design in nature to explain adaptation as God acting through laws of nature."

This Einstein, Bert?
"Albert Einstein's religious views have been widely studied and often misunderstood.[1] Einstein stated that he believed in the pantheistic God of Baruch Spinoza.[2] He did not believe in a personal God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings, a view which he described as naïve.[3] He clarified however that, "I am not an atheist"'

How about this...
Everyone has all knowledge of all time contained within their makeup: accessing that knowledge is the challenge.

I saw a film about that the other day. It was called Lucy and Scarlett Johansson had taken loads of a new synthetic drug that allowed her to access 40% of her brain (or whatever) which gave knowledge and superpowers. Wasn't very good, I didn't finish it.

Be a difficult film to make without it appearing silly and juvenile. The potential's just too great.

Seems probable in Mrs. Baloo's case as she's got so much of it that it needs it's own room. Odd thing is that she wears so little of it.

Atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby.

Atheists are the most religious of all:
They feel that they are Gods and understand everything by themselves.[/quote]
[/b]
BINGO!!Ha Ha Ha! To come away with such a dense and dumb statement like that shows clearly that internaly you are fuking raging with envy of the free mind and will of atheizm which abides by the rules of law not religious law. You are angry because you have not got that luxury because like muslims you are entrapped by your brainwashed cult upbringing to which you are terrified of being ostracized from your brainwashed mafia or community but deep down you know you are tapped but have'nt got the balls to question it. To come away with such a medieval quote as you did above shows your internal bitterness that you do not have that freedom.
Religion is for people who are weak spirited and need a belief to prop themselves up but believing in gods is just another for of insanity.
I give to charity, I donate blood, I go out my way to help others and I have never harmed anyone who did'nt try to harm me first I have worked hard all my life. I dont need religion to tell me how to do good things or conduct myself.
There are rules and laws out there that I follow in a civilized society.

Whatever one thinks or says about religion, it's helped a lot of people. Horses for courses really.

They are also totally "surplus to" a life where the individual already has respect for others, respect for the Law and respect for themselves i.e. their own moral compass. I could ask an unrelated but perhaps similar question by asking for the religious justification for circumcision where, in societies where genital cleansing is a matter of daily routine, it is medically and scientifically largely unnecessary. |

I had to have mine removed when I was 18 months old because it was too tight and was stopping me pissing. And no, they didn't throw away the wrong bit.
Weirdest thing is, I remember being in hospital for the op in a ward with other young kids; we all communicated telepathically.
Ah well, what was left of my cred's now been finally put to rest.

I've not contributed to this thread, and feel I ought to bring my insights to it:
Israel's government is rubbish.

To Moggy:
The medical aspect of circumsition is only a side effect.
Like washing of hands before meal, or not eating pig.
It is what we are commanded to do.
THAT'S IT.
It is something that differentiates us from other people so we can keep all the laws and remain a special group.
Not really a "free choice" but remaining in the same family / nation is of choice.
