Friday Ruminations from Deep Space...:
On the way to maybe re-acquiring some of your rented out mind- space you may want to review this content (written by an atheist).
The comments in the utube vid. are informative and entertaining. (https://m.youtube.com/watch? v=FEEE1ev2EMc ) [Is the Bible a History Book? 17K views · 2 years ago...more Study of Antiquity and the Middle Ages 27]
The Atheist Handbook to the Old Testament: Volume 1

The high level question is: Is your belief system leading to a self-limiting life course which will also vanquish you (-probably sooner than later)??
When the locus-of-control of your decisions driven by a (hidden?) party who may not have your best interests set as their priority (in controlling you) do you face calamity down the line as a result (sooner or later)?
Inquiry sleuths would like to know....
[Some old Bible passages actually do forecast discoveries in the future -- so it's a bit of a conumdrum trying to take sides with a clear-cut decision making mind...]
When the musick stops -- don't be the stuckeee !

...the quick response is "possibly", a more thought out response might be that it's probably a good place to start the journey.
I've often noticed in my 78 years that "success" in "real-life" often leads to real obstacles on the spiritual path.
Maybe a better perspective might be rather an "avowed atheist" might become a better atheist if they include the Bible in their daily diet.
Probably wouldn't hurt, especially if they are a really dedicated atheist intent on living a really meaningful and productive life.
Your thoughts?

I found the book of proverbs appealing even before I gave my life to Christ Jesus ... such good and pithy statements about the hazards in the road of life and about "free will" so-called ... no Calvinism for me thank you just the same and the OT is quite informational also ... the LORD loves those who love him

... the LORD loves those who love him
...the Lord is "love" personified.
That explains a lot.
What I don't really understand is where "hate" enters the picture, seems a little bit out of place.
