That doesn't change the fact that the Bible 1) isn't true, and 2) is Jewish.
i wonder when LARPagans will ever realize that the Norse gods were only really worshiped for about 400 years and that countries like Denmark Norway etc have been Christian for much longer at this poin...

what was it that convinced you?
Mainly the Bible itself convinced me -- it simply reeks of Jewishness in nearly every single book; you really have to do some mind-twisting contortions to deny that. And it also is full of the most arrant nonsense ever committed to paper -- burning bushes that talk, a boat with every species on Earth packed into it, golden hemmorhoids, a star that is always directly overhead one fixed spot, magical creatures with six heads and human faces -- I could go on for hours. But there are books that helped me understand, too, at a deeper level. William Gayley Simpson's Which Way Western Man?, and Revilo P. Oliver's The Origins of Christianity and The Jewish Strategy.
ok... many of those things are likely not meant to be taken absolutely literally and might speak to more of a symbolism-oriented ancient mind framework...
but that aside, I have difficulty chalking it all up as "fantasy" if I consider the impact on western law and the notion that under this "christian" framework we are gifted with a conscience which affords us the "right" to speak freely, particularly in a legal framework context...
does your rejection of christianity make you reject all of what might be offered by, say, brent allen winters, contrasting "biblical" common law (my quotes) with babylonian civil law?
i would point to his Excellence of the Common Law as extremeley valuable as a framework, at least. ?
Thanks for your insights. I believe that most of what we create, as individuals and as a culture, are profoundly influenced by our biological inheritance. Somali Christians, ethnically Jewish Christians, and European Christians each made very different things out of Christianity. A lot of what Europeans made out of it would have been made by us anyway even if Christianity had never existed, and even I find much to admire and appreciate in the common law, the Gothic cathedral, and the Bach concerto.
I love the sound of an ethereal choir singing praise to Divine Providence in a beautiful hall of marble that reaches to the sky. But they were singing just so in Rome and Athens, too, you know, a thousand years before the Middle Eastern faith was imposed on us.
I see the really poisonous part in Christianity's forced attachment to all things Middle Eastern and especially Jewish, which, along with the morality of racelessness implicit in the creed (what you "believe" is important, what you actually ARE is nothing), makes us powerless and frozen into inaction in the face of our deadliest enemies. That fatal flaw, along with the fact that the Bible just ain't true, made me seek for something better.
