I am doing a thesis paper on flaws and loop holes of modern religions. I ended up finding this page for one of my sources.

Bible = Corrupt?

They forgot that Pi is exactly three.

If you're looking for a biblical resource, I would recommend this site. Every bad thing and good thing within the Bible is annotated and cross-referenced.

Now that seems like a site that's actually done some research.

I would probably still disagree violently, but I have to applaud the homework being done.

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain. - Ursula K. LeGuin ~ The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas

Go to the bookstore and pick up Ken's Guide to the Bible by Ken Smith, published by Blast Books.

There's a whole LOT of fun reading there. Should be in the Religion or Philosophy section. Cost me $8. All the laughing was well worth the money.

Just off the top of my head, I had a religious discussion with someone today.

The whole thing doesnt really differ from other religious things, except the reaction I get when people ask why I dont believe in their god and why I dont go to church.

My reply: "As I am agnostic, I believe that there are many different ways of belief, and all are correct, yet all are false. I cannot bring myself to believe in what the churches tell me to believe, and I sound found that I was only going to church to get out of the house rahter than to go and worship. In that regard, I decided that it would be more offensive to a given diety for me to go and steadfastly not believe while in their House, rather than not go at all."

"Age by age have men stood up and said to the world, 'From what has come before me, I was forged, but I am new and greater than my forebears.' And so each man walks the world in ruin, abandoned and untried. Less than the whole of his being"

I think it's dangerous to say that the Bible is corrupt (it's like saying the Torah or the Qur'an is corrupt). The churches of the religion can be corrupt, but there's nothing wrong with the philosophy of most religions. They're all "how to" guides to the same thing, they just have different methods, all open to interpretation.
