It is for freedom that John Loftus has set us free, no longer to be burdened by a yoke of slavery babble nonsense.

For lies to succeed they need to be close enough to reality to be plausible to others but far enough away from reality to make a worthwhile amount of money. However if your lies tell others things they desire to be true then you don't need to be so careful.

I think many christians have made up excuses for most of the stuff the Bible and just hold fast to a few grains of sense & feel good vibes that they can stitch into their personal creed. eg " And when I die i go to a happily ever after with granny and dog"

If you feel trapped by the Christian stories then just get the Bible on Kindle and look up each different word on Wikipedia, however this will just be the same as getting the dictionary on Kindle and looking up each word on Wikipedia.
For a short cut read the books by John Loftus.

It is for freedom that John Loftus has set us free, no longer to be burdened by a yoke of slavery babble nonsense. ( added bonus- you don't have to agree with everything he wrote to get to heaven )
