The problem with religion

I understand the concept of faith and the concept of God. That is fine by me and faith is as important as love or fear.

But you cannot tell me to read books written by men who think they had visions from God. The biggest analogy is modern day cult leaders.

Most of the holy books have different interpretations which change with time. Why so? Are the books too complex or are they changing interpretations as the world evolves? The answer is latter.

The bible was written in Hebrew and then it was translated to Greek and then it was translated to English by William Tyndale (in the 7th century)

So, it very well may have different interpretations not only to the translators but also by the individuals who read it.

Also, I can see where you are coming from. I often times question the validity of historical text that has been translated so many times. I also question any reference of division and hate. Those are not the words of God but of man attempting to spread seeds of discourse.
