It absolutely amazes me that so many people today have been infected with some sort of insidious mental virus that leads them to the insane certainty that the myths, superstitions, fairy tales and fantastical delusions of an ignorant bunch of Bronze Age fishermen and wandering goat herders represent some kind of cosmic 'TRUTH' about fundamental matters of existence and reality. A universe in which all that exists are the earth and heaven, solid 'firmament' structure (the sky) separating the earth from heaven (terrarium earth), talking snakes (with legs) and donkeys, shepherd staff turning into an asp, demons chased out of people and into pigs, friendly spirits, evil spirits, walking on water, multiplying loaves and fishes, food falling from the sky, conception by a ghost, people rising from the dead, the sun stopping in its tracks, parting seas, people being bodily sucked up into heaven (which, by the way, lies on the 'other side' of the sky), world-wide flood that drowned the earth to a depth of 40 feet above the tallest mountain, creating people from dust bunnies and ribs, magical tree of knowledge, god speaking from a burning bush, ritual cannibalism, by eating god in the form of a cracker. In a sane world, if there was somebody running around spouting this crap, he would be locked up in the State Farm for the Funny. Apparently, though, mass insanity seems to convey some sort of free pass.

Well, science can't be used for such things. Science deals in the study of the world around us... those things we can see and feel. Some sciences go further, parapsychology for instance, but those who use science for their own agenda rarely ever consider parapsychology a science...
From what I see, though, all of the people arguing are basically arguing over everyone else's idea of what God is. Since we can't pull God out of the Bible and hand him over for people to inspect, all we can do is share what we think it is. Now, personally, I would rather rely on my own experiences instead of using a book that other people claim is the Word of God (the Bible itself never says "the Bible is the Word of God"... all it ever says is that "all scripture is inspired"... and at the time that was said, only the Torah was considered Scripture.... so.... we have a bunch of opinions being thrown out, all conflicting with each other... So going by that, how is it that they are deceiving anyone? I don't see that they are... they are simply disagreeing with other ppl's opinions on what it is... if it exists.

What if we appreciate Jesus, but don't believe in any of the miracles? I think he was an amazing guy with an amazing spirit but never walked on water or multiplied food. You don't have to do extraordinary things like that to have an extraordinary influence.

so what about all the priests that have sworn their lives to him but then turn around and use their power to help them molest children? If Jesus is leading his desciples in that direction I would rather not have anything to do with him or them. Sorry, but your system is outdated. Get with the times.

Hmmmm.... why would a lone male God who purportedly loves me... 1.)Create billions of people to have their own free wills and minds and feelings yet say there's only ONE way you can do things? 2.)Somehow get it in His head that the only way to "reconcile to himself" all these people who didn't do what He said was... to kill His innocent Son?!?!?!? 3.)Make me a lesbian and then damn me to Hell for it?
Answer me THAT!

Have you read the Bible? It's full of nonsense. Get a grip on reality. It's all made up.

I agree God is wonderful and loving, who else do you know that would give his only son to die so that we may have a chance to live in heaven.

Period or question mark? Pick one. Just because you put a question mark at the end of a statement doesn't make it a question. Why abuse the forum?
