The Religion/Secular Debate

To me, thus far, the issue of Biblical historicity, accuracy and relevance does not seem irrefutably resolvable since (a) it seems to involve claims that do not seem substantiated beyond estimation, and (b) viable alternatives seem to exist for the conclusions apparently drawn from said estimation.

Apparently as a result, I seem to have shifted my focus toward the issue that seems to underlie the issue of Biblical historicity, accuracy and relevance: optimal strategy for achieving optimal human experience. To me, the apparent Biblical strategy for achieving optimal human experience seems substantiatable based upon science and secularly history alone, whether Biblical anecdotes are historical fact or allegory.

God's Prohibitions

To me, the Bible does not seem to describe God as withholding from humans any appropriate experience. However, an issue seems to be that limited human perception seems to potentially not perceive the hazards of certain human behavior, apparently warranting God's advice against such behavior, as Genesis 2 and 3 seem to suggest (SIDP essay "Substantiation: Adam and Eve", section entitled "The Tree Of The Knowledge of Good And Evil").

Disagreement Between Believers In God

Responds to: https://twitter.com/reasonandlogic/status/728929424205357056

To me, the Bible seems to suggest that God/human relationships are as unique as the human individuals within them. Apparently therefore, a certain amount of valid difference seems logically suggested to exist between God/human relationship experiences.

In addition, however, the Bible seems to also suggest that some vary from God's design for general and/or specific human experience, apparently resulting in a difference between God-complying and non-God-complying human perspective.

Balancing Reliance Upon God And Self

To me, both the Bible and science's findings seem to suggest that the cause of social issues seems to be the attempt to provide for self that which is the purview of God. I welcome your thoughts, including to the contrary.

Referring To "Religion"

Many seem to use the term "religion" to refer to both (a) God and God's design for the human experience and the God/human relationship, and (b) human behavior related to belief in God. To me, when God and human behavior related to belief in God are considered one homogeneous point of reference, certain of their apparently important, unique attributes seem potentially and inappropriately considered as being shared among them.
