Those that do this know well that all writings regarding God are fabrications of man. Inspired or not, they are a fabrication.

Kenney P - And you also think you have more knowledge of God than others?

Dani V - Angry? No, not in the least. I just find it incomprehensible that you or anyone else can say God is not Imaginary or that the writings(bible)are not the fabrications of man.

Probably the way that a person can stand in plain view of all creation and proclaim "there is no creator".

I don't know what to tell you but you are WRONG (according to what I believe). God is not imaginary. And the word of God is not a fabrication. Yes you have to have faith to believe this, but you also need faith to believe in pretty much anything. (Must look into philosophy if you haven't already about faith.)
Ok, removed the part saying you doubt yourself but I kind of think you might still. But the reason I said you might be doubting yourself is that you are even concerned about it in the first place. Why are you so passionate about this? Is God possibly tugging at your heart and you don't even realize it?

God is real and he loves you because you are his child although dening him kindles his wrath. Repent.
If someone is claiming to know the dictates of an imaginary god should of course feel shame.
The writings may be fabrications but so is this answer. It is an imperfect form of communication. God expects us to live by Faith, go and learn what that means. (hint) you can't begin to understand faith until you excersize it, just like you will never walk again if you don't get up and walk.

People believe. That's how they can.
Consider Daniel's story (on this page)...
He was completely indoctrinated into the religion, and now his whole world is viewed through that prism. Any thought breaking out of the prism activates an "I'm betraying Jesus" switch in his brain.
So he really does believe everything he was told and everything he reads in the Bible.
He really does believe it is a deity's work.

I stand PROUDLY and present to you THE word of a FACTUAL god because I study that word and believe what it teaches me.
You on the other hand, I am assuming, have never studied that word or you would nor be making the ludicrious statements that you are making.
Try being aware of facts before you make claims that make you look.....well.....I'll be nice here..........
Study so you'll know at least a FEW facts before criticizing

Fabrication...... more like witnesses and their accounts of their time in history. Those who, what you say, "shamelessly" proclaim are interpreting their version. May not necessarily be a correct interpretation, but if it brings them comfort and a will to carry on...then so be it.

Well, people are capable of doing all kinds of things shamelessly.
However, I have to admit that claiming one knows the mind of God is a pretty gnarly claim. The fact that more people will claim to know the mind of God than know the mind of ... say ... Steinbrenner ... amazes me.

That's probably true. A good book to read on the subject is listed below.

It gives them purpose. Mortality, and insignificance are terrifying to most people.
They are acting out of fear.
The human ego is very fragile.
