Roadster...i was in your situation long time back...i have lots of questions about the authenticity and rationality of religion. I know there is God, but is not the one being portrayed in the books. Evolution is true...that everything started from the BIG BANG THEORY...but before the BANG, there is GOD.
Imagine the evolution still on the process...Why do northeners's skin looks pale and those near the Equator dark? We adapt to our environment,and we evolve. A dark person will interbreed with a caucasian, and they're offspring is less darker. We never came from monkeys. Monkeys and apes are of different species than we are. We came from Neandarthals who "look like" apes.
Everything written on religious books are both Myth and History, and most of the time exxagerated by the writer, just like the Greeks. They should not be the basis of your existence. Who is more knowledgable of your time, the person who lived thousand years before you were born or yourself? Before, they throw stones. Now they throw bullets.
The bible says, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", and then on the next chapter you will see about forgiving others. conflicting, isn't it?
Simple rule, no complications: Do unto others what you want others do unto you.
It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!
