FyreFox yes. But I am not christian. I have heard these kind of arguments before, and I am a Norse pagan. I believe in multiple gods/goddesses and I follow my patron Goddess, Freyja. I do not flee Christianity because I am a sinner, I flee Christianity because it...

Religion is an integral part of the lives of everyone on Earth. It effects our laws, customs, and even our careers so how do we choose (or not choose) our religions? What religion do you follow (or not follow) and why? It is a...

FyreFox yes, and what about all the changes between the original bible and today's versions? How does that affect the validity of the bible? Please go back and read the whole question.

FyreFox I am more or less in the same place as you are. As it stands I have personally found a lot more validity and truth [for myself] in paganism. I just hope that everyone out there can find something that works for them and is spiritually fulfilling and helps them...

FyreFox much applause! I very strongly agree with you here. Also, you should add the Qu'ran to your list of texts, by the way- it too is a version of the bible.

FyreFox I hadn't thought of that angle. I don't deny the history of the bible- but what about the King James Version? How valid do you think that it really is? King James was one of those corrupted men that you spoke of. So why is it that so many follow a dead King of...

FyreFox I understand what your saying about the changes being made before the scrolls were FOUND... but not before they were written. What I am saying is that you can take two versions of the modern day bible [pick from your list if you like] and you can find...

FyreFox I am vaguely familiar with Judaism. I have great respect for the Jewish faith and people. I have had several good friends who were Jewish and never met a Jew that was not a very good person and was kind to others.

FyreFox hun- there are at least three versions of the modern day bible that don't even exactly match each other, much less your scrolls. I'm sorry- but you need to look closer into your research. I don't mean to offend. But I have SEEN these differing bibles in...

FyreFox yes I agree with the first part also. I appreciate the thoughts. My main problem is that the career I have chosen is religious and not geared towards making money. It can be done- but I will likely need to hold down a mundane job in order to pay my bills....

FyreFox Its the same bible. Catholic or not its all one book. ALL of the current bible's have the corruptions in them. The catholic changes were mostly back before protestant religion.

They say that the heart is blind, and that we do not choose whom to fall in love with- but should religion matter in a relationship? Would you be with someone of another faith? Would you expect them to convert? Would you convert...

FyreFox thank you for your post. You don't think that two people could work out the difference between religions?

FyreFox did you read the paragraph? -you did not answer the whole question. What about the fact that the bible has been changed and edited throughout history? How does THAT affect its teachings?

FyreFox thank you very much for your opinion and your added historical support. I had honestly forgotten about that one from European history class- thanks for reminding me of that one.

FyreFox Did you read the paragraph? I was not denying the validity of god- I was asking about the fact that the bible has been altered throughout history and how THAT affects its validity. Please post content that actually relates to the entire question.
