That the whole fairy tale was concocted by men with an agenda to control. That is it in a nutshell and you who are duped are just that, duped and programmed to resist any effort to show you the truth.
Instead you just spout off more bible verses 'proving' you are right, but in fact all you are doing is your usual circular reasoning, the bible is right because the bible says so.
What it does in fact is make sure there will be religious warfare for the foreseeable future. WAY into the future, our great great great grandkids will still be trapped in all this folly. And OF COURSE you will be all for it since your bible assures you your JC is coming back, right around the corner now, only 2000 years and counting.
What a load of crap. The biggest scam in human history, well ALMOST, there is also Islam and Hinduism, also a bunch of fairy tales.
Of course you come back and say 'I agree those are bogus, fairy tales, but not MY religion'
And of course those in the other religions say exactly the same about THEIR religions.
So the fighting goes on. If there is a deity involved, then it is only reasonable to say it WANTS things that way, so we cannot achieve real maturity as a species. Your deity WANTS us to be barbarians.
Lovely religion you are trapped in.
