[QUOTE="shadow2, post: 73670201, member: 417224"] Not religious and never will be. But I don't understand religion at all when I study history/philosophy/geography. I don't like gaps in my knowledge of the world. Hopefully I can learn something here and you don't mind atheists on this site. I'll probably just look around but a couple noob questions are: Why is the bible so influential... do you need this kind of text to guide your life as opposed to just living by your own moral principles? Do you actually take the bible literally or is it kind of like a piece of literature or art that you would interpret in different ways? What happened with Jesus, how does 'sacrificing himself for our sins' work? Prayers/miracles, doesn't this seem a bit like confirmation bias? Have you guys considered that and are cool with it anyways? Thanks, hope to have some conversations here. Don't want to be converted and don't want to convert/debate you guys, just curious about how Christians view these things more than anything. [/QUOTE]
