    Why? Why follow the Bible at all? Give me one good reason why I should take a whole book of questionable origin and follow it.

    They didn’t have DNA tests and hashing back in that time, there’s no way to prove the texts are original this many hundreds of years later, and there are so many explanations for a “fatherless baby” (unconscious rape, concussed and memory loss, shame and withholding the truth, etc). So many pictures depict god in the clouds. Humans couldn’t reach the skies back then. Now we can. Guess what? No magic man in the clouds. There are so many reasons not to believe the Bible it just blows my mind that anyone believes in it.
