Okay, i get what you mean. To you, the bible is one giant metaphor and that is cool.

...they wrote what they thought god showed them.
Originally posted by ShakyamunisonI look at the other religions the same way, there is only one god but those that he spoke to wrote their message the way that they saw it and that is why many of the religions are similar with cultural differences.
OK, there are so many of them, I just wan't clear.

That maybe true to a point, but even in the bible there is at least three gods.

The Apostle Peter speaking said, "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other Name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." (see Acts 4:12).
Moreover, the Lord Jesus Christ said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father [i.e. God in Heaven] except through Me." (see John 14:6).
This is what the Bible reveals and what I believe. This is your answer.

That is also a common concept in Buddhism. A teacher says that you can only make into enlightenment through him. Then he revels that enlightenment like salvation is not something that can be obtained. A person must realize their own enlightenment/salvation.
There is no god. Some smart person made it up to help people make morally sound choices and to explain what he/she saw all around them. Good intentions I'm sure and god does a lot of good. Gives moral assurance and a purpose to life if people choose to accept it. People do a lot of good in god's name and also a lot of bad.
My opinion and what I believe.

Perhaps that is all a god is after all (us).

I don't know how you can believe in evolution when it has never been proven, doesn't make sense, is illogical, and irrational.
Go back and study the 2nd law of thermodynamics, it explodes evolution.
Yes, I do believe that "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God." (see 2 Timothy 3:16),
and that "...prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." (see 2 Peter 1:21)
