So It Is Written......

What gives the Bible more veracity than other "religious" tales?

The Eddas- Norse

The Book of The Dead- Egyptians

The Koran- Islam

The Akilattirattu Ammanai - Ayyavachi

The Kitáb-i-Aqdas- Baha'i

The Kangyur and Tengyur- Bon

The The Principia Discordia and The Apocrypha Discordia- Discordanism

The Rasa'il al-hikmah- Druze

The Cippus Perusinus, Liber Linteus, Pyrgi Tablets, Tabula Cortonensis- Etruscan

The Hermetica, Emerald Tablet- Hermeticism

The Svetambara, Digambara, and Tattvartha Sutra - Jainism

And at least a Dozen others that I know about.

ALL of them were written by MAN, and some even claim to be "Inspired" by a diety.

How does one pick one over the other? Some say, "Jesus is my savior" and "The Bible is the Truth."

But as Richard Dawkins once said, "I suspect that if you had grown up in India, you would say the same thing about Vishnu. If you had grown up in Norway, You would say the same thing about Odin." <----paraphrased.....

The bottom line is NO ONE KNOWS, and eventually, NO ONE WILL CARE.

Christianity is young, and will eventually fade away. Other more ancient religions trump Christianity on the timeline (as to how long they were in power), but disolved or vanished when conquoured (sp?) and absorbed by Christianity.

So, who's next? Who or what will we be worshipping in a thousand years?

A very interesting subject indeed. It is true that we are the victims of circumstances and what you say holds water. If born in India one would imbibe and practice Indian culture and so does a Norwegian. This is where we have to have the proper perspective of things. Truth is ONE, WHOLE, SINGULAR, UNMUTABLE, UNALTERABLE irrespective of any circumstance or material or interpretation.

So if for the sake of our argument a Norwegian believes in Odin, the Truth of GOD does not in any way suffer any decline, deficiency, or other altrication. The One and Only God IS and whatever MAN does, it does not in any way affect the TRUTH that GOD IS.

However an interesting point of view is the fact that if we give the TRUTH a form, a shape, a name,or whatever that representation is not intrinsic in itself but a symbolic communicative medium to convey the mening and tangible rendition of the data GOD.
