Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 From Marla - <<With all due respect, the Bible is essentially God's love letter to His people. >> Marla, With all due respect, the bible is the creation of a 'creative copywriter' to advance an ideological agenda.... The book of genesis, in particular, is a re-hash of much more ancient Middle-Eastern mythologies from places like Mesopotamia, [sumeria & Babylon], Egypt Canaan and Ugarit [present day Syria]. Most people DO NOT want to know these facts as it 'shakes their foundations'... I've heard this on numerous occasions from people for whom faith is more important than facts. Here's an interesting article on the subject... you might need to paste this link onto your browser. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=291264 & contrassID=2 & subCon\ trassID=14 & sbSubContrassID=0 & listSrc=Y Dedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
