i do look at the world. the world have many wars,sick people,poor countrys,the UN fail t o bring the peace. so thiis is the truth?

yes, it is the truth. so is the work of mother teresa. so is the line of ants between the nest and the puddle of spilt coke. so are the galaxy superclusters the hubble telescope keeps identifying. the truth is huge and infinitely complex.

all i have found is philosophies people used to follow many centuries ago. the laws, customs, lifestyle, philosophies, even diet of 2000 years ago we have discarded in these more enlightened times. i think their ancient religion and bible can be discarded too.

this allso i s what i think abaout the Bible.it have philosophie to follow for people i n societie.
The problem with taking your philosophy, or standard of ethics and morals from any one source, like the bible, is the fact that it does not change. The bible is over 2000 years old. To use it as a basis for morals in modern society would be silly. We have changed and evolved a lot as a people since that time. We have made new discoveries, and live in much different ways. For us to take our morals from a bronze-age tome that touts the virtues of stoning your children would be a huge step backwards.

Each person should seek their own philosophy, and we as a people must learn to accept and coexist with each other, and to see the innate value of each person as an individual. Mutual respect is what our system of morals should be based off of, and mutual respect is a lessen not taught in any of the books of Abraham.
