The only question that remains then is why you would believe what the Bible specifically says.
I was raised on the Bible and bought it all almost into adulthood, even if it got me a lot of ridicule from my peers. For those who have not gone through it, it is unimaginably hard to take a step back and attempt to be objective and re-examine the world-view you've been raised under and where all your friends and family fit in. But in the end, my feeble enquiring mind had to acknowledge the severe shortcomings of any mainstream belief system. It is better to acknowledge that you do not know than to "pretend" that you do.
