1.I think you mean TRANSLATED, not interpreted. THe Bible is often translated yes, because language changes. Would you prefer it that is remained only in the original Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic so that only scholars could read it? If it's in a contemporary language any literate person speaking that language can read it. Power to the people.
2. You would know this of course, because you were there when religion started, and you are not relying on faith that the historical information you have received from others is true. Oh hang on, you don't believe in faith....
3.I think you meant "There is no God or Buddha". Well I can assure you Siddartha was a historical figure. Buddhists today are divided over whether he passed on into Nirvana (doesn't exist anymore) or chose to stick around and guide others to Nirvana (exists in Spirit) or is actually reincarnated as the Dalai Lama. (Exists here and now)
As for whether God exists, As I said, all you can state is that you have not experienced him. I have no doubt you have not. I however have. He is very real to me. [img]smile.gif[/img]
4. To love one must have trust. One must have faith in the other person. Are you suggesting that love does not exist? Are you suggesting love is not logical?
