"For that which
befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them:
as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that
a man hath no preeminence above a beast." -- Ecclesiastes 3:19
Ecclesiastes for Skeptics
Ecclesiastes is by far the best book in the Bible. Of course most of the good
stuff contradicts what the Bible says elsewhere.
- Death is final. There is no afterlife. 3:19, 9:5,
9:10
- "There is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works." 3:22
- "A man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to
drink, and to be merry." 8:15
- "Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a
merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works." 9:7
- "Walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine
eyes." 11:9
