Careful Nick, there's a van waiting outside of your home. How you answer this question will determine whether or not they will break out the straight jacket.

Yes but what makes you so certain that anyone after 100 or so BCE gave the true words of G-d?

Then why do you bother?

The prophets were G-d? How many gods do you have Nick?

I raised 14 people from the dead. I stopped 3 volcanoes from erupting. I stopped a tornado by just wishing it would not happen. Now do you believe me?Look above: it is written.

Why not? Customer knows best, right?

Why? Because you say so? Why is your opinion greater than mine?

Sure. I am a man just as he was. You expect more of him because other people did. Should I find some followers to write about me so you can believe in me too?

Egads.
