Proof that the Bible is accurate or proof that Jesus is the son of God? I don't think anyone has proof that God spoke to man besides eye-witness accounts, which are the least reliable form of evidence.

I have read the bible (twice) and the koran (once) completely. I once was a christian. I have completely discounted both documents as being completely absurd for many reasons. Neither book is PROOF of ANYTHING except that humans are superstitious. The bible contradicts itself in a thousand places, as does the koran. Both have scientific impossibilities that cannot be reconciled, such as rainbows being "sent" by god, when we all know that they are formed by refracted light. There is not enough water on the entire planet, in ANY form, to flood the whole world. It is impossible to fit even one of each creature on a 400ft boat. There were giants before the flood AND after the flood, even though every living thing supposedly died. Where are the giants now?

PROVE TO ME THAT THE BIBLE OR KORAN GOD EXISTS AND I WILL DONATE ONE MILLION DOLLARS TO YOUR RELIGIOUS GROUP!!!

Since nobody can prove it, everybody should stop using it as an excuse to make law, or to harm other people. It's stupid.

or perhaps was god in allowing his only begotten son to be killed commiting fratricide?
god really is a god of love ,i understand the purpose of a sacrificial lamb in ending sacrificial right ,rite
dont get the passover lamb thing prior to exodus but i understand the need for the christ to be killed on this important day
exodus was after all about setting the poeple free
i dont understand the chocolate egg thing but do understand the fertility of the rabbit called easter buny
i realise this important historic rememberance of both the exodus and christs death was that the exodus thing be well hidden and remain a simple jewish belief ,but the early christians held this day sacred for the same reason
the east gate that is walled up ,through which jesyus was to triumphantly emerge being walled up i understand ,and i allso uinderstand why the cemitry needs to be there as how can the ptrince of live emerge into a grave yard
what if the river of life washed down the wall ,washed away

God created us. And there are somethings in life we can't choose to be. Like being a gay, lesbian or bisexual, we can't choose that. ITS IN OUR GENES. So, is it God who made us that way?

If so, please explain why so many of the devoutly religious people I've met also are the most judgmental people I've met?

Judging is making a value statement. Judgmental people seem to view others as good or bad, superior or inferior.... This isn't an attribute of love or peace. (Btw, opinion and judgment are synonyms.)

Most of us operate from fear: fear of loss, fear of betrayal, fear that we won't be able to make a living. I would like to be able at least to imagine a world where we operated from a place of caring rather than fearing. If we cannot imagine it, we cannot create it.

they want to raise their kids christian, or wanted to become christian because that way they would have good morals? Is it unconcievable for someone to have morals if they aren't christian, or do christians just naturally have better morals? Discuss please. I am not trying to offend anyone, it is just a question. personally i dont think religion has much to do with someones morals.

Like for these examples.

Sex, but then have to go to work to support family then marry?

Financial problems needed to solve before you can afford a marriage?

and etc.

They both stay faithful before marriage.

i think most people cling to a certain religion because it gives them hope. People want something to believe in and religion gives that to them, such as they will have wings and fly like an angel. live forever in God's presence. I am not saying either of those are bad. But everyone had a beautiful life on earth, we probably won't need god. so the question really should be, is religion there to keep us blinded.

I have seen the same people write many many times, after they read something they dont agree with, "i will pray for you" I know that when you pray at night you are not including all the people on yahoo answers. How dare you lie to them and god? To say you will pray for someone does not make you closer to god. Its is a promise that you are making in gods name and breaking. To everyone who was lied to!

I admit that when I found out, I booted his butt. Then I cried and wailed for three years and God was merciful. I was devastated because I thought the tough love would shape him up. He filed for divorce at the behest of his lover. Both of them really put me and my kids through hell. He has filed for divorce but hasn' gone through with it. They are kaput and he makes overtures to be back together andthen says things like I ruined his life. It would take a miracle for us to be a couple together. I think it's time for me to do the filing for divorce and may be that's that. I have to move on, and if he is saved and born again(I pray for him) God will put us back together. But, I am thinking may be the man needs to have a definate line in the sand and a serious boundary of divorce is what he needs. Also, does God really want me to be with someone who thinks that if he comes back to me, he would be settling? What about the example to my kids?

if the 'good ' people killed off all the 'bad' people would that mean the good accept every one left as being good ,or just that for now all sinners are removed or would new evils soon be found that 'needed to be 'removed ,over come
can a judgmental; person ever accept any one as good ,or just need to feel there are worse than them ,that allways will make him feel better for exposing the evil ,and even want the credit for destroying the last vestage of that for now deemed evil
is anyone ever real;ly with out sin ,so pure that the smallest sin needs to be stopped
are the good really good or just better than the bad
is it possable that the really good are really pretending goodness to further expose evil
or just bad being good by definition
if the good of this world succeed in killing off all those ajudged to be evil will that be the end of the killing or just a pause to find yet more?
we will never know i guess till we killed the evil b off i guess
now who first?where to begin

Note, do not say "get to know Jesus." The question could easily be "How can we come to know Jesus more"...if Jesus is your God. But my question is , what way of life, what things can we do in our life, to bring us closer to GOD?

This is a question that's been bugging me.

Christians keep bashing atheists because "it's so unlikely that there could have just been this big explosion and all the pieces of our universe just by chance fit neatly together." Well, first off, *no* they didn't just fit neatly together, it took billions of years to get them that way, and billions more for everything to evolve to what it is now. And even though we can never experience the beginning, we can do experiments to simulate what happened and by that add more credence to our ideas.

How is it any more logical to believe that out there somewhere is some huge, wonderful source of power and knowledge? Seriously, HOW is this logical? I just *honestly* do *not* get it at all. At least we know that what we're proposing *could* have happened. You don't even know if the idea of "god" is possible, theoretically speaking (try proving it to someone who doesn't believe it). How can god be sentient if he is essentially nothing?

God forbid you'll be giving one of my fellow Atheists some money he may use in his vile Foundation that helps children across the world. How many of you have fallen into sin by using this evil man's products or paying for it? Will you continue to use them after tonite? How do you solve this dilemma? Maybe using it and then praying for forgiveness might work, YES! that's the solution.
