“I’ll believe it, when I see it”, is one of my favorite and most used quotes so far. How can people live their lives by a book that over 66 different people wrote over 3500 years ago? It makes you wonder how much of it is actually true. In my opinion, if you can’t see it nor touch it, then you shouldn’t live by it.

Also, fundamentalists base their reality on their holy books, don’t get me wrong, I have morals and values also, but they didn’t come from a book, they come from my parents and how they brought me up. People who claim that all values and morals come from their bible are wrong, because people who don’t read the bible still have a fine understanding of values and morals.

I believe that my way of thinking is more ideal and pragmatic than others because I won’t get false hope believing in something that in reality does not necessarily exist. The way I see...
