deep down do you really "wonder" about Him and the Bible being the truth?
I mean honestly, when you blasphemy Him or speak negative about a christian sharing the gospel, after you read the message do you even think for one second "maybe the Bible is God's written word, and truth" ?
HONESTLY.

"deep down do you really "wonder" about Him and the Bible being the truth?"
No.
When (if) you ever discuss dead religions of the past, or non-christian religion of the present do you ever consider their god(s) real?

No.
The bible is too flawed to have been inspired by a god.
I am being completely honest.

I used to be a Christian. In fact I graduated from a Christian college not only as an ER doctor, but as a doctor in divinity. Because I studied, I was able to learn what most Christian church members are not told by their respective leaders. I respect all Holly Books, not just the Bible. However, I do know that the Bible has many contradictions in itself.
I do not go around preaching my religion to anyone, and I don't want anyone preaching to me. Yet, I employ Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, and Atheists, and we all get along because we respect each other's beliefs. None of us is trying to impose our beliefs on anyone who believes differently than the rest.
If you believe the Bible is the Word of God, that's fine with me. But, since you have only being taught about Christianity, isn't it possible that perhaps Islam's Holly Book (The Holly Koran) is the Word of God? Or Maybe Buddhists are right and you and me are wrong. What about Hinduism? They could be right and we could be wrong.
No disrespect intended, ok. I just want to point out that religious beliefs are a matter of personal choices, and nobody can prove that atheists are wrong, much less than Christianity is right. As to the Holly Books such as the Koran and the Bible, they both have excellent teachings contained inside.
Telling the people that we will go to hell because we accepted another faith or no faith at all, doesn't help any religious cause.
I do wish you love and happiness, and may your God bless you in thousands of ways. Honestly.

I'm Jewish and I don't speak against God. However, the Bible is a man-made book. Whether it is filled with lessons taught by God, Jesus, or other prophets ... You can not say that the Bible is the word of God because there is no ABSOLUTE way to prove that God even wrote anything in it. That is the main distinction between Judism and Christianity, we believe the Torah (first 5 books of the Bible) are the guide of our forefathers, who sought advice from God. We do not believe in the credibility but by faith.
Think about it this way. How would you feel if one day you got to heaven and found out that you couldnt enter the kingdom of God because mankind misinterpretted one verse when translating it to English, Spanish, or whatever language you speak?

No because much of the bible is make-believe. Men wrote it, not God.
There may be some truth (for example the tornado the Israelites followed to escape Egypt. Or the Middle East being flooded as a result of the melting polar icecaps). OK, a man named Noah escaped the flood in his boat, big deal, so did the Sumerian hero Atrahasis. The bible writers would pinch the stories of other cultures to make their own more interesting.
It's a mix of history, allegory and attempts to explain phenomena they were unable to explain at the time by attributing it to a deity.
I imagine the bible's writers were taking drugs when they wrote it or used their imagination. They may have misinterpreted stories due to the Jews' oral tradition.
A better explanation is their appeal to myth to control and scare their audience, the bible is an instrument used by states to supress and enslave the poor and weak.
A good example of this is St Paul writing the new testament, it is a corrupted version of Jesus' original teachings (very little of which remain) used by St Paul to control large numbers of people by justifying slavery and the old hierachy, especially patriachy.
Jesus was a holy man, he may have been called a god by Roman witnesses (like the centurion at the crucifixion or pagan converts who previously believed heroes like Achilles were sons of the old gods because of the feats they achieved). This was used by later Christians to mislead and deceive, the truth was Jesus was no more of a god than you or me.
The son of God? Who was Adam's father? What did CS Lewis call humans? That's right, sons of Adam (the Son of Man). Christians call God "Father", that means humans are the children of God, and that Jesus was a normal man.

Oh honey, honestly.. I don't wonder at all. I was a christian for 20 years.. I have several degrees in religion and philosophy..
and I don't think for even one millisecond that the bible is God's written word and truth... way too many historical, scientific and mathematical errors to be the word of a perfect creator.

I really don't. I don't think of myself as speaking against God exactly.
The other thing is that even if I believed in God I could easily hold the Bible as metaphor and not literally true. Millions of Christians do.

It is impossible to speak against a being that you don't believe is there. I don't wonder if the god of the bible is real. I know that it is not. Honestly. Been there,done that and not going back

No, I do not. I am an EX-Christian, I have read and studied the bible. I know full well that it is not "The Truth", it is alien to my very soul.
I would rather perish in flames than bow down to your god.

Honestly, NO, I do not.
I will openly admit, that there very well be a God, but if He exists, it is outside the framework of the Bible. The bible has huge amounts of inconsistencies, which make no sence once logically and scientifically scrutinized.
