I believe in the Blind Watchmaker theory put forth by Paley. God only intervenes with the affairs of man on rare occasion only.
I believe the Bible to be a great source of philosophical insight on living a happy life combined with some history and metaphor to help explain how to and what happens when you don't follow these basic teachings.
Jesus was a great philanthropist, nothing more. I do follow his teaching but discount Paul’s as they are not the same message.
