Christianity could be a higher order way of organizing lives

Can I just organise my life around Aesop's fables? They have a lot of morality in them and are a lot easier to get through than the Bible.

If you're looking for stories that illustrate moral values there's lots out there that does a better job than scripture.

Certainly. I'm not sure anybody here would challenge that.

I also find a wise dog more believable than someone who lived 923 years.

Nice thing about Aesop is he always got straight to the point. The Bible, not so much.

See and they even give you a small CONTEXT CUE if you were to misinterpret it so you wouldn't start wearing silly hats and do silly things.

The Bible has many flaws, there's no debating that.

The intention of the thread was to investigate the idea that maybe people are serious savages that naturally act in ways that lifestyle frameworks, like Christianity, can and do positively correct for. In my estimation, my family is a good example of people whose natural ability to navigate the world is of lower quality than the adoption of the Christian ethos in their lives is at navigating the world. I think this is very common outside of my family too.
