[QUOTE="SM Rider, post: 2694686, member: 35816"] Paine's main contention was that the Bible is nor more the word of God than any other book. He asserted that nature (creation) is the only revelation of God to man. This is my viewpoint as well. I've concluded that 'belief' is an emotional investment to an idea devoid of facts with the hope that it is true. There is a reason the Bible is referred to as 'SCRIPTure', it is a play where a steady stream of fictional characters come onto the stage and give a performance. It is no more real than a play written by Shakespeare. My view is that the Revelation story is of a past worldwide cataclysmic event seen by many different people of ancient time scattered around the globe and recorded in different ways. Time and embellishment have provided a good story. That it and the rest of the Bible has been politicised as a tool of fear and control is the tragedy. Who benefits? Certainly not God.
