I think it is simple to be a good person. Believing in a bizarre ancient creation myth only adds confusion.
that used to be me. but its not a creation myth. it isn't just metaphor either. it is a book with holographic meaning, including being a true story in reality.
that story took place in reality and was passed on in order to explain the importance of unconditional faith, and all the other most important rules of the 'supernatural'. it provides a framework that allows all of humanity to come together in truth, regardless of where they are at in life. It rewards both a very simple understanding, and an infinitely complex understanding. It provides spiritual tools that are useful in this life, and even more useful beyond.
Prayer works, when you do it right. Seek, and ye shall find. I didn't understand the point of religion either, so I asked for answers in prayer. I got a little more than I was ready for.
I'm not really into the fear approach... this world should be enough to scare most people into seeking a little help from above.
You say those things like they are facts. Regarding prayer I think it can do things but that is because of the intent of the ones praying. It is because they believe god will do it, not because there is a god. The bible has never been enlightening to me. It always seemed strange people really believe in it. It seems so obvious the key points are made up to control people. The old testament is to control the hebrews and the new testament the gentiles.

Open your mind. Maybe read it while on mushrooms or something, I dunno.
I don't understand why that impresses people. It's a story and not that great of one. We are born with nervous systems capable of experiencing cosmic consciousness. The bible tries to deny that and take it away.
