If you don't believe a thing in the book, of course you're going to think the derived ideas are terrible. I just happen to have more to go on now than the book itself.
Where did you get the other things if not from the book?
From life itself.. walking with God for a change, trusting Christ and finding him faithful every single day since, and finding
this verse quite true. I wish I had time to elaborate, but that's the root of it.
So why bother with Christianity and belief in god at all, if he'll just guide you anyway? Or are you saying that you can only get life education and guidance if you believe in god?
