First, let me say that I'm French and that I don't speak a very good English/American. But know that I will do my best so that you can understand me.
(I was Catholic Christians for 14 years, now i'm atheist, let me explain you)
First, we have to take a primary history lesson:
The Bible consists the old and new testament, comprising 24 book for the first one and a quarantine for the second.
The oldest written record of the complete New Testament was originally made in Greece and is called the Codex Sinaiticus. This codex was written in the year 350 and was transmitted to the Roman Emperor Constantine 1. The fact is that there is no written record before the fourth century.
Christianity was then transmitted through oral for 200 years at least.
Before Christianity, there was Judaism, but there were also all the Greek mythology who was then a true religion. They were pagans, it was their culture (so that our culture is the only god), nobody can blame them, since Christ had not yet emerged.
So, was there a true religion before the coming of Christ?
And who was Jesus Christ?
Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew from Galilee. Indeed, he can't be a Christian, since Christians are those who believe in Jesus. If Jesus had been Christians, it would have meant that he was extremely narcissistic, which is a sin, so he was Jewish.
Why did he come on earth? He is the messiah, he corrected the errors of the Jewish Bible.
The Bible's King Jack is also a translation. Translators are often faced with a difficult choice:
-to translate the text word for word and leave aside the idea that it wants to transmit,
-or translate the idea, even the translators has to change the words.
A translation can't be 100% accurate. Moreover, the translation is made by man, and man is fallible.
SO: We can not rely solely on text to understand the word of God.
I don't believe in God, BUT I agree with the basic principles that seek to transmit the Bible. The man has his faults, those sins are timeless and create the misfortunes of mankind.
What I can do as an atheist is trying to avoid suffering and misfortune, whether it be mine or that of others.
For that, I respect others, their religion, their culture, their language, their ideas.
I "cry" for their sufferings and misfortunes.
Also, I am a scientist. What is inexplicable can be explained. If this is not the case now, just do research and the results will come throught time. I don't explain what I don't understand by the action of a mysterious divine power. It's my choice and I would like you respect that. Believe in what you want, but do not judge when you do not have concrete evidence.
The bible is not a proof, but it is not necessarily wrong:
It transmits ideas that you have to interpret, since the translations may not be completely accurate.
Of course, I expect constructive responses. I hope I gave you thinking to do.
PEACE TO YOU GUYS
