[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 828998, member: 22662"] I tried hard not to post on this tangent, but as usual, I've failed. I am not trying to be critical as I myself believed the same about the Bible, but now years later I can't even begin to remember what logical, arguement I had against it. Do you imply that all organized religion is a fairy tale? If so, of what import is religion at all? If it is a fairy tale, does that negate the moral lessons entailed or put them on the level of the Brother's Grimm? Is morality an issue at all, or is that man made as well? And if it is man made, then why should Fred S do anything but maximize all profit to the detriment of all else? Maybe "Atlas Shrugged" because there is no such thing as morality and the world is just the way it is. What is fairness and justice and compassion if it is all just fairy tale, and why should anyone care about any of them except in the way it affects them individually? Ever wonder how there could be a God with all the suffering in the world? Most people have. Ever consider that without a God we would have destroyed ourselves in selfish pursuits long ago? Probably not. [/QUOTE]
