The truth is, you are not your own my FRiend. You said it yourself - the Bible contains truth. Truth is not subject to man’s opinion.
I thought I respectfully ended our discussion. Apparently, I was wrong. Your view of the truth is no more valid than mine. The notion that Noah built an arc and put two of every animal on it or that Moses parted the sea is no less ridiculous than the notion that every Muslim who kills an infidel will have 72 virgins waiting in heaven. If your fantasies carry you through, good for you. I’ll find religion where I find it and you find it where you find it.
Oh, and I never said the Bible contained the truth. I said it’s largely a work of fiction. I will acknowledge that it contains much wisdom, however. Wisdom is different than facts. I do not believe one needs to participate in organized religion, i.e. go to church, to be a Christian. If fact, I believe organized religion is largely a scam.
