Please don't quote the biblical verse that all Scripture is God breathed... That is like a man who says that he has a letter written by George Washington. When you ask him to prove it, he points to the bottom where "George Washington" is written in cursive (even though any fool can write "George Washington" in cursive just as easily as any author can write in their book that it is God's word).

ZERO C00L: I am God. Do you believe this just because I said it?

I know it is not evidence, but Christians will try to say it is.
Sorry about my first comment, Zero-cool. I wrote it before you added your P.S. In light of your P.S., may I assume that you were saying that to be sarcastic?

APRIL: "(he's atheist. a - theistic, meaning he believes in no supernatural being. probably he would call himself a poly-theist -- one who believes that god is everywhere, in us all, and of us each) "
Polytheist means you believe in many gods. What you describe ("one who believes that god is everywhere, in us all, and of us each") is a pantheist. Look up pantheism on wikipedia or any other good encyclopedia.

The bible was written by many many authors over a great period of time. we know there was not just one author because of the multiple distinct writing styles. As a christian it is believed that God inspired these authors to write their part of the Bible.

If someone could answer that, then there would be no religion.
But putting our dreams and hopes aside, if you were brought up made to believe in something, you cannot change no matter how much proof is there or how much proof is missing. Its called the power of denial. People need something "else" to explain the unexplainable. Different tactis; we are the most intelligent species on earth but we are not highly intelligent, so some of us try to find the truth behind facts while others sit back and say its gods actions. They get the flu and for some reason they think its was planned from god, or they break a glass and they think god was angry at them etc. etc.
I do agree with you though, but I wouldnt bother to tackle anyone since brainwashing is called brainwashing for a reason. The more you tell them off the more they see it as a prophecy come true (since Christians are meant to be hated). So its a vicious circle. Let them be...

There is none. The bible is a collection of historical documents that have been copied, re-copied, and mis-copied for about 2000 years, thru at least Aramaic, Demotic, Egyptian, Greek, Latin, English, and various other vernacular languages, and changed as politics necessitated it, and as the christian church was emerging thru the last 2000 years. Things that tended to support what the church wanted supported, tended to remain, (more or less) manuscripts that contradicted the main theme, were omitted. (There are many gospels that are not in the bible -- the gospel according to Philip, the gospel according to Judas, and others....) the bible isn't anything but a collection of the history of a group of starving people in the Middle East (Jews, Old Testament) and what the church (christian, more or less) wanted told (New Testament). Only a fundamentalist christian who still believes in Santa Clause, would ever tell you otherwise. Curiously, there were many men wandering around the Middle East both before and after jesus, and things were written about them as well, but western culture sort of gravitated to jesus of Nazareth.... but could have been anyone, all preaching about the same......

The proof that the Bible is the word of god is that it says so in the Bible.
Yeah... it's circular logic.... can't prove it.

It says so. That's pretty much it.
P.S. That's not evidence. That's circular reasoning.
P.P.S. Yes... it was sarcasm. I was making a point.

No it can't be proven because its the words of the men that wrote it.
