RE: Why religion saved us
There are a lot of valid maybes.
My only point is that one of them is that there is a Creator who revealed the truth to men.
If He did, then we should diligently work to find out what that revelation was.
It's an interesting question indeed :)
My contention is that the Bible was authored long after the event and explains little about the true nature of the universe. I also suspect that no amount of reason will ever change the minds of those that believe in God and I certainly am not going to move from my position by being told that I don't want to receive (whatever that's supposed to mean). I'm out.
So, stan, God revealed the Truth but didn't bother to explain it or did we forget the revelation? So glad I'm an atheist, this is all too confusing to me
I contend that the Bible contains several millennia of such detailed explanation and that people of all intellectual levels are able to grasp it sufficiently to get the Creator's main message. Being an atheist is only a good thing if God didn't really do that.
I contend that that atheists are just people who don't want to receive such a message, and therefore self-select for the inevitable outcome of not receiving it.
