The Bible To Me Is Like Reading A Harry Potter Book by Workch: 8:47am On Apr 17, 2022
A 600 year old man builds an ark made of wood that is sea-worthy.

A virgin bears a child without FERTILIZATION. NO y-chromosome required. She literally did parthenogenesis.

A man lives in a fish, when we obviously do not have a fish large enough to swallow a human whole.

A man walks on water, I don't get it, density doesn't exist?

A man is risen from the dead after 3days, well.

A serpent can speak. This one is the funniest cheesy


These are the kind of things you only read in book of myths and allegories like Harry Potter.

I remember back in the day when I really became a skeptic. It was the juxtaposition of the International Space Station (ISS) and the Tower of Babel that did it. I remember just being disgusted with the absurdity of the literal interpretation of that story. Here we have the ISS in orbit around the earth but some people keep teaching that some nomads built a tower that was to reach the heavens and the god got mad and confused their language. So, he got mad at the Tower of Babel but is totally cool with the ISS? WTF kind of drunkard is this god?

After many years I discovered that the tower was probably real,wasn’t that tall, and it’s top reaching the heavens was a metaphor.

Same way I discovered who what the Virgin is, and what “original sin” is. Shit, I even discovered why Jesus was “born in a manger”and why he is the “lamb of god”.

The creators of these stories were beyond clever. Their audience might have been goat herders and farmers but the authors weren’t goat herders or farmers.

P.S. the serpent still exists, so does his seed and the seed of the woman.

I was once foolish like the op, thinking that I was wise .

Our ancestors never believed that iron can float in the air (aeroplane). Our ancestors never believed that you can speak with someone in another continent with a small toy in your hand ( mobile phones).

That's why I call the op foolish. Calling something impossible just because your foolish brain failed to understand the principles on which such things work is the highest form of foolishness that can be passed to your unborn kids if something is not done .

I wouldn't even try to explain to you how those things you call impossible in the Bible is actually possible. Because your level of reasoning is so low . Brain power low . I can bet that you never came close to the tenth position while in school. You think scientists were able to invent aeroplane,mobile phone ,TV with such level of reasoning like yours ?.

Can you tell me how the speaker in your phone can speak Yoruba , Hausa and youruba ?. Yet you play music without wondering coils of wire inside a box can speak different languages.

Study to be wise . When you are mature enough and ready ,the Holy spirit will teach you the Bible

Your ancestors can’t believe what they don’t know. It’s when they know it that they will decide to believe or not to believe it.

Ignorant guy! Was any of those machines invented using the Bible? NO.

They're all products of man's ingenuity thanks to science and technology.

No good things are invented with your Bible apart from threats and noises of hell fire, end time.

Your god is useless like the p in psychology.

Holy Spirit yet you belong to a doctrine? Why do you interpret the Bible according to your doctrine? Lucky you, you were brought up in the correct doctrine out of the hundreds that are.

If I may ask you, how did you come in to existence? Do you have evidence of how you were formed in your mother's womb or how you came into existence? Can you touch the air you breath in , count or see it? I want you tell me the answers and attach evidence to it.

I don’t have evidence, but that does not mean I should accept ANY claim without reasoning.

Since you could not answer this few questions, then don't question the existence of a Supreme and Almighty God. Don't take his mercies for granted. Good night.

Why shouldn’t I question it, I should just simply believe it right.. why don’t you also simply believe other account of other religion?
I don’t need his mercy, let him give it to over 100 people that die of malaria everyday in Nigeria.
