well, i think all sides, myself included, have behaved bit badly :laugh:
but anyway in discussing ancient literature, one simply can not be certain.
if the bible were to be true, then you´d also have to take the koran at face value, since its believers consider it the next chapter.
and also the witnessesses of jehova, they got a new bible and a dude that claimed to be the newest messenger, came in 1800 something
cant really say any of that stuff affects me, all i care about is just being a good man and enjoying myself.
besides, most of that stuff, in those old texts, is written in metaphors and such..
understood at the time, but the meaning of a metaphor can change drastically in less than a century and a word the same.
to even begin to understand the bible, you´d need to do a shitload of reading and learning a few dead languages.
and actually, once you´ve done all that, well, its actually not that interesting and most of the good stuff can be found elsewhere lol (i didnt actually learn dead languages, i just read enough books by guys that did, to see it was pointless and i would have needed a shitload of money and connection to dig into the really old stuff.. lol, but what i found elsewhere, wasnt really that interesting anyway and as i said, to be found elsewhere in easier form (very similar to many writings from the east..and elsewhere)
