A religious girl asks a serious question

Genuine religious man is a poor and disinterested.

The Christian collects the money just for charity.

The genuine religious man follows the rules made by hypocrites.

Who can deny religion's effectiveness? Ask the Taliban. Ask the Catholics. Ask the cult members who drank the koolaid.
 
There are genuine Christians and those who claim to be.

Yes. And genuine Taliban. The individuals that follow the rules may are may not be good people. I do not have a dog in that fight.

Your OP was about the bible. I think it is a nice story. I do not think the Earth is 9000 years old.
 
There are genuine Christians and those who claim to be.

The only diff is the genuine ones managed to keep their dirty laundry out of the public eye. Any christian who screws the pooch and get's busted has his jesus fan club card revoked just before he/she get's tossed under the bus.

Well, can you tell how old the world is?

14.1-14.2 billion years old....and not flat or the center of the universe as the infallible word of god (the Bible) would have you believe.

Science is not scary any way.

Atheist are scary.

Why is that?

I am not particularly religious but I was raised Catholic but don't hold that against be. Here is a thought.

Jesus went to Jerusalem. He went into the temple area. Jesus began to throw out the people that were buying and selling things there. Jesus turned over the tables that belonged to the people that were exchanging different kinds of money. And Jesus turned over the benches of those people that were selling doves. Jesus refused to allow any person to carry things through the temple area. Then Jesus taught the people. He said, "It is written in the Scriptures, 'My house will be called a house for prayer for all people.' But you are changing God's house into a 'hiding place for thieves.'"

Jesus invades the Temple to restore it to its purpose. This was to be a place of prayer. This place was to be open to all the nations. This place wasn't about making a profit off people seeking God. This place wasn't about merchandising the grace of God. While Jesus' actions were bold and shocking to those of his day, we have a tendency to let the distance in both time and culture soften the implications. If Jesus invades our hearts, our worship, our religious places and times, what sacred cows will he drive away? Are we open to other nations and cultures? Are we about being a place and people of prayer? How have we sold out our Savior and our worship of him to our over-commercialized culture? How have we let religious charlatans fleece God-seeking people? And if our bodies are God's temple, then what does this all mean for us?

Many churches worship money. None more than the Catholic Church. If there is any truth to Scripture many of these high profile preachers will be sucking Satan's cock in Hell but they will have to wait their turn till the Pope swallows a load.
 
If the Brahman doesn't exist, who wrote the Vedas?

If Allah doesn't exist, who wrote the Quran?

If Jesus doesn't exist, who wrote the Gospels?
