I usually stop listening at that point so I don't know what they are doing. I support the idea that they aren't thinking for themselves so they have to fall back on what other people think and since I'm not talking to those other people I loose interest in the convo pretty quick.
Those are fundamental moral guidelines that have been part of the human culture far longer than your bible has even existed.
The Bible is, in addition to other things, history and cumulative wisdom of the ages. Not all of those crazy "laws" in the OT are applicable in today's world but for the time and the people they were intended for, it was appropriate. To discard the entire Bible, simply because it's "the Bible" and you don't accept it, is to throw out the baby with the bath water.

Ok The op asked why should he believe what the Bible says right?
My post stated truths that are in the Bible. I don't care where you think they came from...
It's truth.....correct...
it's in the Bible..correct....
ergo there is truth in the Bible....... where is your confusion?
As for fundemental moral guidelines. Have you studied History at all....
I see very little difference between your average Bible bangor and political hardliner. neither is willing to think for themselves and niether is willing to look at their belief system and question its veracity. Because I said so seems to be the driving point for both.

The comments you make on a routine basis, display no respect for god, whatsoever. You haven't a clue what respect for God is.
Take your self-righteous, self-annointed delusions and shove them.
