One of the biggest problems I have with the word of god is that there is nothing illuminating about it. God says don't kill and don't steal. That is about as profound as he gets. A ten year old knows this without ever reading the bible. If there was information in the bible explaining that the body is made up of individual cells and each cell has a mitochondria. God wouldn't call it a mitochondria but he could explain what it does. Or if god explained some kind of useful way to get free energy that we can't fathom. But when I read the bible, all I read are things that everyone already knows. Things that any mortal could come up with. Wouldn't a god have something more important to tell us than ummm eat your vegetables.
