As more and more states pass laws targeting “pornographic material” in books and online, they are repeatedly running up against a problem: The Bible has not just a few passages that could be considered indecent

    The problem is the question of where is the proof of your beliefs. Most Christian’s tout that the Bible is the truth yet no one can prove the “truth” of the Bible. It’s always a case of “look around you see the blues skies and the trees and the flowers etc. that does not prove god is real, nor does it prove he isn’t.

    The fact of the matter is what you want to believe is the truth, the inherit problem is that most Christian’s believe they have to push their beliefs on others whether they want it or not. It even gets as far as stating if you are a specific religion,such as Methodist, baptist etc, you’re not a true believer.

    I have found in my 50+ years of living that most people are hateful if you don believe exactly what they do.

      There is a common anecdote about the divide between what is considered the truth in science and religion: An evolutionary biologist and a creationist are in a debate. The moderator asks what would need to happen for them to abandon their beliefs. The evolutionary biologist lists the main pillars of the evolution theory and the formation of life, and that if they are disproved or found contradictory in a credible and replicable way, backed up by other scholars in the field, then they would have no choice but to accept that they were wrong. The creationist simply says “nothing, I know in my heart that it’s the truth because God is all powerful and would never lie to me.”
