I'm reposting this b/c I posted it on a much older page, unsure if you would've seen it. Anyway. Wolfpurplemoon, I'm unsure if you are reading this to make sarcastic remarks, to better understand Christians, or to look the bible through for inklings of truth. My advice to you would be to read it without any preconceived notions, and try to find real truth within the text, for instance, the fact that God's law IS reallly written on our hearts, and in our minds. C.S. Lewis was an atheist until JRR Tolkien told him to ACTUALLY read the bible without intentions of bashing and ridiculing it. This is what he did, and he eventually came to accept A God, and then, eventually, THE God of the Bible. I think you would find a biography of C.S. Lewis quite interesting. I recommend you read one, or any of his work, even the Chronicles of Narnia, which basically shows what God would be like in a different world. Anyway I just wish for you to be open-minded, thank you for your time. -Brennen
