The penn and teller show.

I saw this video a few days ago, it really made me think because part of it is true and the other part has no historic support.

The video is from the Penn and Teller show, they make some kind of little documentaries about world issues. So this one is about the bible and they say its bullshit*, well i agree since i am Agnostic. They say that the bible is full of inaccuracies and impossibilities and that its more fiction than fact. well off course its more fiction than fact, this because the bible should not be taken in a literal way and i think most Christians believe that this is actually metaphorical and that it teaches a way to live and not just a story. Off course, there are many Christian fanatics that believe that the bible is entirely true and think that if they don't follow what it says they will go to hell, that leading me to my next point.

In my opinion, all religions are just ways to control people and giving people values, in a good way this brought well, a way to live for people. But the human beings always have to ruin everything, we turned the bibles message around and corrupted it.

Back to the Penn and Teller Show, they say that its wrong using the bible as a guide for moral. Moral changes through the years. 2 million years ago it was fine to "stone to death" disobedient and also homosexuality was punished with death. but now this doesn't apply. Nowa days the bibles moral is old and anticuate.

i guess thats it

by the way watch The monty pythons life of brian, its hilarious and it also critizices the way the church was created.
cheers
