Pecking eachothers eyes out. Thats what it comes down to...
Living is about life, and the way you choose to live it, not justifying or convincing others of your reasoning. Both sides would be fools.
A wise man keeps his mouth shut, as it says. And a wise man also suffers quietly, not kicking and screaming because others are judging him.

Considering that people 2000 years ago couldn't write in general only a select few could.. The gospels were not wrtitten by the person if at all but a scribe and stories get changed when someone else writes your words down... I really don't believe it as a holy book when I have read the bible i looked at it as a collection of short stories.... picture 500 years from now and people thinking Harry potter was real...

There are many people who grew up in strict fundamentalist religions that, when they move toward a more agnostic or atheistic way of thinking, develop a reaction against the religion that they knew as a child. Because they have rejected it, their reaction is like a reformed smoker.
It is a stage in "spiritual" growth that is inevitable among those who leave a religion first discern why they have chosen to leave. Later they will develop a more positive set of beliefs that can define them without simply rejecting an earlier set.
Or at least I hope they do. Otherwise, they spend their lives in a pretty negativistic outlook.

I dont think anyone is silly for having beliefs, nor do I think it is silly to debate a point, regardless of how strong ones views are, everyone has a view about something, tho some people do try to bug others by offering views that are totally there just to annoy the other person and without any evidence

No because anyone who takes what the Bible says literally is either very ignorant or mentally retarded.
Put it this way, if someone came up to you and started insisting that the World is flat and at the center of the Universe (these things were believed by many and defended for centuries by the Christian Church) how much respect would you have for them?

More so. People who believe in the Bible have faith. People who trip on believers generally do not. The trippers generally do not understand the power faith has.
Just because we cannot prove everything in the Bible does not mean it is not true. That is the very definition of faith: Believing in things that are true but cannot be proved.

Did you mean the one who wrote the bible silly? Bible is the best book accepted by the whole world. So I dont agree with your comments.

I don't know if they are silly. If someone believes the Bible, lives a good life, and then dies to find out there is no heaven...well what have they lost - nothing. On the other hand if someone chooses to live anyway they please then dies and finds God a reality then what have they lost - everything!
