Bravo Timothy! You have eloquently expressed everything I believe to be true. I was spoon fed the Bible at Sunday School but even as a child I recognised how absurd it was and never for a minute did I believe it to be true. Later I heard someone say that: without religion we would have good people doing good things, and bad people doing bad things (that is the yin and yang of it) BUT it takes religion to make good people do bad things. It resonated. When I read Letter to A Christian Nation by Sam Harris, i rejoiced, got myself an official de-baptism certificate, and wanted to send a copy to everyone I knew who had grown up believing that the Bible was a fax from a God.
