I can appreciate that. Atleast you're not some sheep that is only religious because their parents raised them that way.

Well south parks not the best advice for spiritually guidence laughing out loud

the bible was written by man . as we all know that man tends to fabricate stories and turn them into somrthing that they are not . then through the years it has been rewritten by the churches to make it fit into how they think man should live there life for god .

Rewritten through the years by churches? Clearly you haven't got the foggiest idea what you're talking about. This is complete nonsense. Sorry shellie, but it is. Going by the Dead Sea Scrolls we know the Old Testament books have been virtually unaltered AT LEAST since 250BC, some 500 years before any such things as an official church came into being.

therefore in my "opinion" making the bible fiction .

No one in the Bible claims they can prove anything. That kind of thinking did not even start before the 17th or 18th century AD. They just wrote down events using techniques associated NOW with fiction to bring out the meaning. Now, we can argue about how much meaning tehre was. They saw an event, described it from their point of view as well as what it meant to them. If you call that fiction then we might as well dismiss ALL history books as fiction because insights on history changes in time. The way an historian now writes about for instance the Clinton Era, may be very different when described by a historian in a hundred years. Does that make the historian of today a fiction writer? No, it doesn't.

That goes for a LOT of history writing, yet only with the Bible we consider it a problem.... Odd..

Neither does the Bible. It just tells you how the God of the Bible wants you to live your life if you follow Him. If not, do what is right in your own eyes.
It's usually power freak religious leaders that do most of the harm.... IMHO.
