Should you believe everything you read? and take that as your guidebook for living?

*Chuckling* Definately not, as the quote somewhat goes, Read everything you can and believe maybe 10% of what you read.\n\nAs to our fanatic friends, believing a document written in the dark ages when people thought the earth was flat, by people who lived hundreds of years after the supposid events, well make your own judegements on that...

Personally, for me, I choose to. I know I could be wrong, and there are questions the Bible raises that contradict science, or what others deem as proof. I even accept the fact I could be 100% wrong in the way I believe, and live my life. I know that, and still I choose to believe. It is something I feel in my heart to be real, something I feel as if I have evidence of in my everyday life, and for me, that is my proof.\n\nJust personally though.

False. The Bible is a masterpiece of ancient literature with some good advice and wisdom. Your brain is the owner's manual should you choose to let it be.

So after reading propaganda for 1 hour, you changed your mind about something.  So I guess I should believe everything I read.

I understand what you mean- most people choose to believe only what agrees with them. If something written says what they are doing is wrong they then decide that specific passage is not correct. They want to be seen as perfect so they pick and choose what they want to benefit them. I believe the Bible in its entirety- If you do that then you can't go wrong!

Believing is one thing.  Knowing is another.  As most people have said in here, yes you can believe in whatever you want.  That doesn't make it the truth.  And NO, not everyone has to believe in something.  What everyone should have is the knowledge of the truth and the openmindedness to receive the truth.  Not mumbo jumbo from books that you just accept as your truth.

You've given us a false dichotomy.  Neither of these is a good choice.  Practical advice on open-mindedness is that you should be open-minded, but not credulous.  Consider new things, but don't swallow everything some nutball tells you.

If I trust that person, no I wouldn't.  If not, I will check it out myself first before I make up my mind, I wouldn't make my decision based on other people opinion, they could be wrong, or they view things according to them.
