everything in the bible is purposeful. perhaps if you dont understand , ask God to help you. or if parts fustrate you. because it is the truth. we need to understand it with out spiritual ears atuned, with the help of the holy spirit, (perhaps even at a slower speed-because one little chapter contains a lot of information!) and not by our natural self because we cannot thats why jesus uses parables i can imagine.
just trying to help.

One good turn deserves another.
Purposefulllife,
I appreciate your willingness to help. I am also very joyful that I have found a group of people like you who have so many wonderful values that they desire to create for the world.
I really want to refute all the points you are making about god and religion in your message to me. However I am afraid that if you did not have god and/or religion, you may not accomplish some of the wonderful things you have set out to do.
If you ever find yourself in a position when you know that you will do these things no matter what and are willing to be completely open minded enough to have a purely logical conversation, I would be happy to have this conversation with you.
Until then, just know that there is someone out there who has similar values and morals to your own, but without the dogma of religion and while questioning if there is even an intelligent creator.
I love you and wish you the best.
