To Be Agnostic

I was raised catholic and I think everyone has the questions that are asked in the book "To Be Agnostic". But religion is faith without faith one does not truly believe in religion. So every person comes across the questions of how did all these people write one book, and get as many things that coincide together, but also how can faith be put into a book that was written by humans and does have contradictions as well. And ultimately that is the decision of each individual to believe that there is some kind of higher being or not.

Now the questions about the Bible are rather difficult. It has been taught for as long as I knowfor the Bible to be a direct record of what occurred. I cannot say that I agree with this, I believe it is instead to be interpreted. Some things are too far fetched to take it as it is, like the mentioned conception of Eve from Adam's rib. If this had really occurred and we are direct decedents of these two people, would men not have one rib missingthen, since we are created by them and Adam had a missing rib. I know that scientifically today that just because something was removed like tonsils in your parents, it does not mean you will not have them but the Bible would makes us believe that humans would work that way.

But as I mentioned before in my other postings I see nothing wrong in the belief of God and religion. It can be used to help establish morals and a sense of reason in a seemly uncaring universe. Most people need a reason to be alive, and for some religion fufills that need, for others religion does not. So I say to those who beleive believe and those who do not, not. It is all your own personal decision and no one elses really.
