Why was the God of Abraham so involved in the middle east ex. Jerusalem...ect. and not anywhere else? I mean there were people living in South America during the times of the Early Jews yet God did not pay any attention to them. There is evidence of so many other Gods being worshipped yet you would think that being the creator of the entire planet you would make yourself and your beliefs known all over the place and not let that happen thousands of years after your son dies. Also what about all the people living in China and places like that. And what about in Greece? how come they believed in Zeus and thoes Gods instead of what the Jews believed...I mean we are talking about the supposed CREATOR of everything here. How could the greeks even concieve thoes gods! Does this bother anyone else?

If the God of Christianity is the "true" creator and its a matter of either going to heaven or hell then I would make my message alot more clear and not so selective. I mean billions of people have died and are burning in hell, according to the bible and the quaran.

How can anyone say anything is the center of the world? How could you possible know that! Its like holding a golf ball in your hand and asking someone to find the center

Indeed.
I've often though this. For example, the 10 commandments would be pretty impressive if Columbus stepped ashore in the Caribbean for the first time to discover that the native inhabitants had been given by god the exact same 10 commandments in the same order.
THAT would be pretty impressive. But no instead he chose to only tell one (probably schizophrenic) man on top of a mountain somewhere in Israel.

Most of the major events that brought religion to this very day would normally occur in Arabia. Arabia is situated right in the centre of the world, during the dark ages and even before that people were in the state of loss. Knowledgeable people at that time can be compared to a man on the street today. After Jesus brought the Bible the Quran was revealed and this to took place in Arabia. Look at the life before 640 C.E

That is not a correct way of phrasing that question. The Middle East is, for the most part, a sacred piece of land and nothing will change that no matter how many wars are fought.Btw, did you know that Mecca (the holy city sacred to Muslims in SA) is in the exact center of the earth?
Take it easy buddy. It's proven scientifically. And I know it for a fact. You don't need to bash anyone who answers your questions. Plus, if you've got enough time. grab a map and see for yourself. I think that people reiterating this fact proves my point. Good day.
P.S. No Heretic, it is the center of the earth. Check it out.

Because religion is an artificial construct created by humans to explain the unexplainable.
And Mecca is only the center of the earth to Muslims.

The bible was written my people from the middle ieast, so that is what they wrote about. If it really was the word of God, why would be Jews be the so called chosen people. What about the rest of the world? Don't they count

the bible was written to control the people , the LOCAL people.
You';re right. A real god would try to "save" everyone, not just the middle east. It's proof the bible is a book to concentrate belief, and through that, power.
Put the bible where it belongs, with the other holy books http://flushaholybook.com

No, because it's just like the old days of video with VHS and Betamax. Everyone comes up with their version, and eventually one system wins through.
