Originally posted by whodey The Bible has an interesting quote about arguing with foolish people. It says something to the effect that the more you argue with them the more you become like them.
Of course, as you say its a silly old book full of lies, so who cares, eh?
I have always maintained that the Bible has wisdom and error.
The error part is misdirecting all who follow it.
One example of error is....that it allows animal slaughter.
Another error is....it says persons only have one life to choose Jesus or damnation.
Originally posted by whodey Why do we age? Science does not seem to have a good grasp so maybe you do.
I presume from your posts that we must enter some sort of enlightenment or "sinless" state before we break the cycle of "birth". Judging the rate of population explosion I would presume that things are not working out so well.
We age because we do not live in the eternal spiritual world.
Every time we take a new birth we have the opportunity to question God and life, and to live in spiritual or material consciousness.
This is the age of Kali Yuga, and the population expansion means nothing having the universal perspective, because their are unlimited planets and unlimited universes for souls to come from or go to.
