What about

all the people who believe in another book (like those in the middle east)? They believe what they were taught just as firmly as those who believe in the Bible.
I don't think the bible is word for word God's word or completely literal. I used to believe that. Now I feel that if we are really honest and open minded, we will get closer to the real truth.
I think the Ten Commandments are great and Jesus' words and example. If everyone would live by this, no one can deny the world would be a great place.
I think one has to examine the whole shebang. We are not as informed as we think we are.
I will check over the website you suggested. I am in my quest for understanding life, how we got here, and what it is all about. For some time now it doesn't really make a lot of sense to me (even the whole food chain makes me ill).
Frankly, I don't understand why God doesn't make it completely obvious to everyone (what the truth really is). You would say that he has, but that is because you are coming from the assumption that the Bible is true. It should be an innate knowledge (or something). That would NOT be denying people free will as some would say. One would still have the choice to love God and live for him or not.
I'm guessing you think what others believe is ridiculous and obviously false, but they see you the same way.
Thanks for the link. I will let you know my thoughts. :)
