I'm guessing we read from different perspectives. All the atheists I've known read it from the modern English, 20th-21st century perspective.and what you said diesn't jivce with what I have read in th bible
Are you imagining this is because the authors wanted to tell the world how awful God is? Or, are you imagining those who wrote the Bible thought God was good, but your modern intelligence figured out the "real" truth of the matter.and yet the god in the bible did some pretty awful things
I am guessing you felt religion was forced on you...a childhood experience, perhaps?or when another religion is forced upon people
Yes. The Bible tells us we are the salt of the earth.Do humans ever get credit for the good they do?
Correct. Earth can mean the planet; earth can mean dirt or the ground. In the Hebrew language it is clear that water covered the ground, not the planet. It covered the ground as far as the eye could see...it was quite a flood.There's no worldwide flood footprint..

no.Do humans ever get credit for the good they do?He was influenced by the goodness that GOD has brought to the world. No man is an island unto himself. There are influences. GOD needed something accomplished and this was how HE chose to accomplish it.
When I read parts of the bible I was not reading it as an atheist but as a searcher.I'm guessing we read from different perspectives. All the atheists I've known read it from the modern English, 20th-21st century perspective.and what you said diesn't jivce with what I have read in th bible
I'm not imagining anything I read it in the bible which is supposed to be the word of god.Are you imagining this is because the authors wanted to tell the world how awful God is? Or, are you imagining those who wrote the Bible thought God was good, but your modern intelligence figured out the "real" truth of the matter.and yet the god in the bible did some pretty awful things
wrong again.I am guessing you felt religion was forced on you...a childhood experience, perhaps?or when another religion is forced upon people
For what were you searching?When I read parts of the bible I was not reading it as an atheist but as a searcher.

The Bible is inspired by God. It was also written by man, filtered we might say. And those men lived thousands of years ago, spoke a different language, had a different perspective. What was their perspective? What was their intent? What did they wish to share with the audience of their own time?I'm not imagining anything I read it in the bible which is supposed to be the word of god.
But I suppose you think that a god should have to live by the standards he set for us mere mortals right?
