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.

Only if you ignore archeology, history, etc.

Being a Christian - a CHRISTian - takes only one thing: receiving Jesus Christ into your heart.

If you haven’t done that yet, I encourage you to do it - your life will never be the same and you’ll find a happiness you never knew before.

There are not a lot who would disagree with you about organized religion.

However, Scripture is true and the truth and having a relationship with Christ is a far cry from becoming *religious*.
