I didn't see your last question, but it seems that there is something about god (being it or not being it) and the bible (what is says and what people believe).
You must understand that the bible was written by man, edited by man, and interpreted by man. Last time I looked, man likes to try to control other men through fear and ignorance. I feel that you may be questioning (and rightly so) what man says about devine being and why soneone should act or behave or believe in a certain way.
Tens of millions--if not hundreds of millions--of people have those same questions. Many don't acknowledge them, and you should be applauded for thinking and questioning on your own. Spirituality is a huge issue, and cannot be talked about in whole in a blog. There are a lot of books that discuss spirituality, and you should seek them out. Read them, think about them, discuss them, and make what they say part of you--or not, as you see fit. Keep questioning!

I understand what you are saying, even if you are being sarcastic. However, no one should just blindly believe something without "testing out the inspired expressions" to see if they are true. That's why I said that God has proved himself. To find out what this proof is you can go to www.watchtower.org for further understanding on God's qualities and the Bible.
That is why also so many religions should prove themselves, by their conduct. If someone is good, they will prove it by acting good, just like a wicked person will prove their unworthiness by being wicked. Without works there cannot be faith just like there cannot be faith without works. Many Christians miss this point. It is vital to come to know what God requires of us.

Saw this quote in a book once. "The Bible is the word of God not written BY God". -Many Waters By Madlene Engle-
I really like that quote and keep repeating it to everyone. Anyway good point.

Go ahead and test it out. Ask God to display Himself to you. Ask Him to show you that He is real.
It isn't like anybody will stop you! Go for it!
You can also look up the historiography of the Bible sometime. It is an interesting study.

Believing is a matter of using your free will given by God to each of us.
But don't blame anyone else for the consequences of your choice to not believe.

could not care less about what you believe or do not believe as you have the free will to decide for yourself as long as you respect others rights to believe or not as they see fit.

Still making a fool out of yourself pal.?
Why should we believe you rather than the Jesus?
As for me ....I choose to believe Jesus...He is much more believeable than YOU!
