I have read many questions / responses from Athiests, Agnostics and Non-Believers that insist that the person of God cannot be proven (or disproven) - can you please explain then how one can insist that the bible is a myth? If God cannot be proven, then how can one prove or insist that the bible is a myth?
This is not a confrontational question - I am merely curious - as always
love and peace my friends :)

Simple. Until you can show that the god of the Bible exists and that she inspired the Bible, I will regard the Bible as a myth.
Give me compelling proof of both of the above and I will believe.

The Bible was clearly written by different people. It's a myth because there is not proof that any of the events ever happened (I'm talking about the old testament). The Bible is supposed to be an allegory to help people learn valuable lessons, however it's stupid to believe that the events actually happened.

The Bible was written by man, not God. Plain and simple. The Bible is a collection of stories written by men, and is therefore flawed. People write things all the time that aren't true or is in someway biased. It's human nature. Two people involved in the same incident will describe it two very different ways, so which is the truth? That's my point with the Bible. James and Luke may have seen the same thing, but each can honestly say it happened a different way. Which are you to believe?

surely. The murdering demon-king of the Bible is indistinguishable from the different blood-hungry center *** deity, whether Baal, Chemosh, which ever. If an ET confirmed up in a spaceship and behaved like Yahweh, say killing the firstborn of the US, each and all of the fundies could be headed for the gunsafe to post a combat only as i could. I only does no longer make an exception for his or her demon king.

To ask an atheist (or anyone else) to prove that something is not true is to shift the burden of proof. The Bible is making the assertions, therefore it is its believers that have the burden of proving that it is right.
Atheists proving the Bible wrong makes as little sense as locking some guy up for child molestation because he cannot DISPROVE that he's never EVER molested a child. See how it works?
Hope this helped.

It's hard to figure why you would ask that. There is no evidence for the existence of a god - therefore god is a myth.
Are you assuming that we can only say things are true if we can prove that they're true? Or only say that things are false if we can prove that they're false? That's a bad way to decide these things. Evidence is what matters, not proof, and if there is no evidence for something, it's false.

Well, "god" (as a concept) cannot be proven or disproven. Specific gods can certainly be disproven. You can disprove Zeus, for example.
Specifically the bible god, for me, can be disproven because I studied the bible thoroughly. The minimum qualification for me, that "a book" is from god, is that it can't contradict with reality and more importantly it can't contradict itself. The bible fell, repeatedly, on both counts.

You can't prove the existence of Bigfoot or a pink unicorn any more than you can prove god... does that mean that they are real too?
Just because you can't prove something doesn't mean it exists by default. You can believe there's an Aston Martin in your garage all you want. If I've been to your garage and i haven't seen one, that doesn't mean that you have one.... getting it now?

God is nothing more than an archetype of supreme goodness and Satan is the archetype of supreme evil it is as simple as that. The bible in many places contradicts itself so therefore cannot be taken seriously.
