Re: Taking the Bible Literally -- Or Not
Very well put. I too love the paintings, statues, and especially the cathedral architecture but the belief system is fading.
Religion is a hangover from a primative pre-scientific age. As knowledge waxes religion wanes. Do you deny that as civilisation has progressed and spread so has religious belief been gradually consigned to history?
I treasure our old Swedish churches, often with their 14th cent painted interiors, as monuments to a bygone age. But an ignorant and superstitious age which I am glad I have not lived in.
