Following a comment on my last blog, I can accept there may be some elements of historical fact within the pages there are some things that cannot be ignored.
The Bible was “assembled” in 425 AD by a collection of religious leaders brought together by Emperor Constantine with a view to calming hostilities between the new christian followers and the older pagan worshipers. The disciples “books” were chosen from about 60 available, using only the ones that suited the purpose at hand. Although it is possible Jesus did exist, he was one of several prophet style speakers of the time and more by luck that judgement was filtered out to be the one that fitted the role that had been spoken of by ancient religious leaders as mentioned in the old testament when hoping for a visiting god in human form.
As for a saviour, it has been 2000 years and I don’t see anysign of the world being saved or even given a helping hand. Would a true god realy need to keep himself hidden for so long. If he were so almighty what has he got to hide.
Darwin explained evolution pretty well and we no longer need to wonder how we got here. Millions of years of sytematic molecular change not magical intervention.
Visit Richard Dawkins for an open minded (if you have one) view.
