You see Stuart ,what I did when I start to study the bible ,I at first did not believe it ,but for me the formula that I put in my mind was this ;IF THERE IS A GOD ,THEN ALL WHAT HE SAYS AND DO WOULD HAVE TO APPLY NOT TO A GROUP OF PERSONS BUT ON AND TO ALL MANKIND, and so all his laws ordinances and wisdom ,would under no condition CHANGE IN TIME.This was my challenge to all my written readings and talks.
There is the problem. You didn’t question the absurd assumption you are making. Your treatment has been lacking.
please could explain ?

I think so. I still have no idea what you think a god is, or what you think the alternative is to just dying. I won’t believe you without evidence, and I don’t think anyone should believe you without evidence.
How about you cash a cheque for me, for $100,000. I will pay you back once we have both passed over into the afterlife. Now I understand your mythology would reject the idea of money in whatever you think happens after death, but would you take up that offer just for a bet?
If not, why not?

Indeed, the idea is the thing. Is that not the same with Jesus? It does not matter whether he existed, it is what others claim he said that gets you halfway from the streets to an ethical worldview.Stuart

Men are the males of the species homo sapiens. We are animals (because we are not plants or protists or fungi or bacteria or amoeba). We are African great apes, most closely related to chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas (the other African apes), and orangutans (the Asian great apes). Other great apes also pass the self-recognition mirror test.We are intelligent, but so are cetaceans. Domestic cats are about as intelligent as 3 year old humans.

FALSE; the bible says God created everything!

Like I said earlier, you obviously don't know anything about science.Otherwise you would not make such an inane remark.
Christianity: the religion for those who don't want to have to think about anything to any great depth.
