I haven't read it, which is why I try not to discuss specific things about it, just the general ideas of religion. The fact that there are so many religions anyway only shows how none of them are right. You can't just pick one and say it is true, they all have different teachings, different explanations of life and the universe, and all in contradiction with each other. I have no interest in reading any of them at the moment, perhaps in the future I might out of interest, but I would treat them as any other book I read - I only read fiction.

Mr Anderson ... Neo needed to believe to have faith in himself
thats how we do anything... how do you get out of bed ? because you believe and have faith that your legs will hold you up...if for some reason they dont then you have faith that some one else will look after you... you get up everyday to enjoy life... how do you know it is there to be enjoyed.... faith....
believing in yourself and life requires fundamental love....its not automatic we need love to grow and learn. Tests have been done if you keep an animal caged and void of love , he will remain caged even when the cage is taken away.
The bible is history and like any history everyone has a different veiw of how history occurred. I think the bible is the best epic ever , it has everything and its difficult to put it down once you start to read it. Some bibles are harder to read than others because of the language used , so if anyone decideds to read one they should pick an easier version. I started with Good News bible...
