full of violent, threatening verses which don't suit a universal and compassionate supreme being.
(actually, if there really was a conscious supreme being , he would clearly and tangibly expose himself, but that's another topic..)
A conscious supreme being is illogical
An impersonal supreme being which even science may discover one day can be logical

i think you read the wrong books. i am only going to reffer to the Bible. The Bible is not just a book that was sent. as it is known in the christian belief, there is one God - three persons: God the Father,God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. The Bible was written by different people guided by the Holy Spirit,and their inspiration came from God only.
A conscious supreme being is illogical when you try to reduce that being`s powers and limits to your limits.
That means its no longer supreme to you if you live by the same rules,limits,however you wanna call it.
As you see..all people perceive [in a conscious or inconscious way] the existence of something beyond what we can see and feel..you can really feel there`s something out there. Let me tell you that even atheists,as human beings perceive it,but they deny it. Ask any psychologist and he will tell you the same.

To tuflady: tsk tsk, we don't talk about incestuous sex in polite company. I have a good mind to report you for abuse. Anyway, you are not the first. He had an affair with Mary, wife of Joseph too. We have a word for that on earth : adultery. Pleeeease be careful.

One can believe whatever one pleases, but establishing it as valid is another matter. An important tool is the following theorem (proven): The predictive power of any theory obtains exclusively from its refutability. Corollary: an irrefutable theory can predict nothing, and is useless. Any theory involving god is obviously irrefutable, and hence useless.

Because I have a personal relationship with my Heavenly Father that bests all relationships I have ever had and He is REAL in my life. I won't force Him on you but please don't force the atheism on me because I KNOW GOD EXISTS....He gave me all the proof I needed.
