Or rather your dogma is too large. Since when can God be contained in an old tome?

No, but then you weren't either.

No empty icons and useless human religionsSince humans wrote every religious text out there, how can any of them NOT be a human religion? In fact, a non-human religion would not rely on an ancient tome of unsupported events to…[Read more]

Jew = humanGentile = humanGod created humansAre you a father Nick? Do you play favorites with your children? To think God had a favorite is attributed yet another very human failing to one who is supposed to be morally superior to man in every possible way. So how can such a morally superior God play favorites?

Seems bible-God was indeed confusedDeu 4:39 “Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that the LORD, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other. Deu 6:5 “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. Deu 6:6 “These words, which I am commanding you today,…[Read more]

Have you seen the things that the bible has infleunced men to do?

Books are dead trees, the heart is a creation of God. Which ould you trust more?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 05 2008,21:46)Hi Kj,Trying to found your faith when you think the bible is mixed with lies must be difficult.Actually, if you'd quit kidding yourself, you'd come to find that a book is a poor substitute for the way God can communicate with us in our own heart. In fact, books can get in our way.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 05 2008,21:45)Hi Kj, So you are now saying none of it is true and God did not anoint him at all with the Holy Spirit and power? Why can you not make up your mind? Perhaps your doubts keep getting in the road.None, some, most, who really knows? It all comes down to what each individual is willign to accept. Since I stopped…[Read more]

Seriously, why DO you need to believe in the miracles? Was the words not enough for you? It seems that they were not enough for others, so the legends were thrown in for the extra “oomph”. The legend spreaders knew people like you needed a “sign”.

OR, we have legends about a man who may have said some of the things that we read about, but likely very little of the acts that were said of him.Reality is tough but it is in fact reality. Miracles of the biblical proportion look like magical acts of fiction and can only be reproduced in the imagination or by CGI.

Nope. It may be all false, but written in good intention. Or maybe it was willing deception. It would not be the first deception.What makes the bible any more true than the millions of other writings of man?

BTW Nick, when was the last time you saw a miracle of biblical proportions? Either God went into hiding or — GASP — the writers weren't being entirely honest in their embellishments.
