All Bibles are Man Made

"All Bibles are man-made." 

Thomas Edison

 

When Edison observed that "all Bibles are man-made," by "Bible" he meant that  "All claims to inerrant infallible truths are man-made." No matter how smart we think we are, nor how convinced we are of having received a divine message from a god about the "truth" of God or the universe, such claims can never be demonstrated to be anything but "man-made." And a person's conviction for believing something is true, far from being evidence for the veracity of the claim, is actually only evidence of their innate suspicion that it may be false. Fanaticism, as Carl Jung observed, is always a sign of repressed doubt.

If there is a flaw in being human it is not our need to doubt, however, which ever believer relies on exclusively to doubt the claims of all other religions but their own.  Instead, our biggest flaw is that we are all born to be natural believers rather than natural mathematicians. As human beings, we are governed more by our emotions and unconscious thoughts, which are essential to believing anything without verifiable evidence, while as mathematicians, we would think more like Mr. Spock, more logically, more in binary black and white terms of right and wrong; and more in terms of needing verifiable evidence.

Imagine doing math without needing evidence to support ones conclusion, so that 2 + 2 can equal whatever one wishes to "believe" it is, in faith. Faith of the religious variety does not give you the answers so much as it stops the asking of any questions that might lead to any answer other than the one you began with before asking the question. It does not ask what does Y + Z equal, it only asks "what will equal 4?" and then prohibits the asking of any questions in which the answer is anything other than 4.

 And this is the incredible irony of the major religions today that seek to turn people into AI machines by convincing them to think in binary forms of rights and wrongs, 1s and 0s.  It not only bleeds out everything it means to be human beings as sinful and disgusting to the God who is said to have created us with flesh and blood, it is also contrary to any mathematical mindset. For rather than simply accepting, in faith, answers to equations, math requires proof.  What's more, if we were all born with brains that could crunch numbers like quantum computers,   everyone would consider "miracles" to be as un-miraculous as the chance that any random person could win the lottery or be struck by lightning.

An Atheiest's View of Miralces PART II

Understanding the Different World Views of Christians & Atheists Perhaps the best way to understand why Christians and atheists see and interpret “miracles” differently is by understanding the difference between how two physicists looked at reality itself and saw two very different things. Those two physicists were Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, and while one studied the motion of planets, the other studied the motion of subatomic particles.  Looking through the lens of classical physics, Einstein saw how planets operated in the universe in an orderly manner, obeying definite deterministic laws of Newtonian mechanics. For the Christian, those laws were written and set in motion by the hand of God. Bohr, on the other hand, saw something different. He saw the world through the prism of quantum physics, where reality itself was indefinite, animated by the unruly hand of a nature that, like the Christian God murdering the whole world with a flood, seemed free to ignore the laws ...

Why Christians Burn Witches

 Christians burned witches and heretics. Think about that for a second. Are "witches" even a real thing? To Christians they were, and are, even if to everyone else they are simply projections of Christian fear masquerading as love of their brand of a "God." Why didn't God show those Christians who were burning those witches the "truth" about what they were doing? Well, apparently for the same reason that same God never revealed to those Catholic parents what some of those Catholic priests were doing to their own children: because witches are no more real than the Catholic conception of God. Ironically enough, like the witches they accused of magic and burned as necromancers, it is the Catholics who use sacramental hocus pocus to transform bread and wine into divine flesh and blood of an Apollo like man-god, that they then claim to eat and drink as a way of curing themselves of the sin-stained soul their own God assured they were born with, ...
