My mum told me that the bible is full of fabricated storys meant to elaborate a point to help better understanding the teaching/lessons of the testaments and so forth, i guess. I dont believe god is one person and can do things because theres no proof.

religion was built to fulfill the humans needs for discipline and a higher power. i learned about it in psychology class. <<-- well not exactly that, but how we need to believe and conform and obey.

sorry if someone said something similar to this. i didn't want to read the thread before saying this. and sorry if i offended anybody.
Shame on "mum" forcing this stuff down your throat while you're little and shame on your Psychology professor for propagating these thoughts and illusions in your head. I mean... really... you should have a say in your life instead of it being forced down to you like that... that darn religious theor... ugh... um... You should have a choice in how you live instead of um... well.. you know... you should have a choice... to... you know... um... to choose to... live... (sarcasm)

All kidding aside, you choose how you live your life. Be it by a book, a Bible, or by someone else's creed or beliefs. Your indecision is already a decision made by you. In other words, you can live with indecision about what you want to be when you grow up... and you can live with that for a year but throughout that year, you would have decided an ENTIRE year of decisions... You choose how you live, what you live by, and what ethical and moral compass you wish to live in.
