here's something to think about:
Is Jehovah Almighty? Is He justified in destroying wickedness and those who choose it over righteousness? Then why does he resort to archaic and ineffectual methods of destruction like floods and fire-storms(aka Armageddon)? If mere humans can develope WMD that can vaporize life in the blink of an eye--why can't an Almighty God with an axe to grind? Why would he bother to make it so difficult, ineffectual and cost prohibitive? And if it is only the holy guidebook that is dated---why doesn't He upgrade it to keep up with human evolution? wouldn't that atleast appeal to more humans today?
Could it be that just MAYBE the answer lies in the fact that the Bible is an ancient conglomeration of myths that at the time of their telling were cutting edge technology to ignorant and superstitious rank and file?
Look at the idea of a 'written word' as a Holy Book itself---surely 'god' could have done better than that! Why would 'god' limit himself to human development? If a 1st grader is computer literate--where are the Holy DVDs from the Superior Divine Deities?
