I forget which part but I know part of the Bible was written by a man who had spent much time in jail and may have been somewhat unstable. Though, that is a small portion of it.
The thing is, since the Bible was written by people, it is the people that I distrust or have trouble believing. I do believe fully in God, and that if you live right you do have an afterlife in heaven. I just don't believe everything that people have said about religion. I am sure you see my beliefs quite askew but that is what I believe in and the reason I believe it is because of faith.

The main point of this thread, was really a response to Muscletang on my Intelligent Design's Webpage thread who compared Atheism to murdering tree's.
Although I responded in that thread, I felt it does not do the Atheist's any justice, and it needed to be clear.
I could write for hours on the repulsive, immoral nature of the bible, and expose the lies and dishonesty and hypocrisy within the Catholic Church, but their actions only speech for them selves, louder than words.
