The accepted, but false interpretation of the Bible in a nutshell is the following: A God that looks like a man created the earth and the rest of the universe in six days, less than ten-thousand years ago. He rested on the seventh. He then created man and woman (Adam and Eve), and they lived happily in the Garden of Eden. The problem was that he also created an angel that turned on him. The angel, disguised as a snake, talked Eve into talking Adam into eating some fruit that God told them not to eat. Adam took a bite, so God kicked them out of paradise and cursed them and all of their descendants, including us. About forty-five hundred years ago, God got fed up with mankind and drowned all land animals, except for one family and two of all land animals on earth (what about the plants?) by loading them all on one boat they built. Their descendents repopulated the planet, but mankind was still damned. The new testament of the Bible says that God sent his only begotten son (Jesus) who was also God to earth to make an appearance and to show people the way. After doing some miracles and preaching for three years, he found twelve people. He then sacrificed himself to his father in order to save us from the curse he put on us for what Adam and Eve did, but we were still cursed. God sacrificed himself, to himself, to remove the curse he put on us. Three days later, Jesus came out of his grave, had something to eat, told a few followers he was going to heaven, and then left. Though the Bible says Jesus died for our sins, we somehow still have them. The only way we can escape this curse (original sin) is to believe the story above is true and worship this God. If we do not, we spend an eternity burning in a fire. Metaphorical: Some people say the Bible is metaphorical and not literal truth. They are right about parts of it, but they do not know what the metaphors mean. This book says the truth is in the Bible; it just says most of the story above is not true and not what the Bible is about. The Bible reveals the truth and makes complete sense when interpreted correctly. truthcontest/entries/the-present-with-religion/
