1 | The bible is a work of fiction - discuss | Gen 1:1 | chimaera | 15576 | ||
Ok I have a fair few posts to reply to, may not get them all but here goes. 1) Please do not try and mock me, make me look stupid or indicate that because you beleive in god you are above me, either in intelligence, morals, or worth. Making fun of a TYPO makes you look childish and ignorant. I mistype "freind" all the time, doesn't mean I don't know how to spell it. Also, my name is not supposed to be funny or clever. Look up it's definition some time, Mr Big Words Make Me Look Clever. 2) Don't simply post copy and pasted passages from the bible, that means nothing to me. Use your own fingers and brain to give a response. 3) I did not post just to be inflammatory. It may have come out like that because I was having a particularly bad day and I was irritated and the whole religion thing, and the negative affect is has on my life. 4) Just so you know, on a side note, I was confirmed when I was younger, did bible classes, went regularly to church etc. So do not assume I am making uneducated comments. 5) I have a genuine interest in knowing why people beleive. Admittidly this is for slightly selfish reasons. My girlfriend, who I am very serious about, is a devout Christian. She has indicated, although not said outright, that my non-beleif may come between us. If not now, in the future. It angers me that someone's beleif should stop them living a long and happy life together. I have morals, I live by society's rules, I know right from wrong, I am a VERY good person (so I have been told). I just happen to beleive in evolution, science, and that we hold our own fate in our hands. If that makes me a bad person (who will supposedly burn in hell for all of eternity) then tell me why? |

Chimaera, There have been people who have tried to disprove the Bible. Those who make a sincere effort become believers. Josh McDowell wrote More Than A Carpenter. Go to a bookstore, or library and read it. It may be easier than trying to read Christian apologetics. Does matter it how good one is in life, or even to compare ones self against another? How good are you in compared to Mother Tresea, Princess Di or Billy Graham? No matter how good they are, they fall short of the standard of Jesus Christ - perfection. I doubt there is anyone else who lived that did not break one law. Most of us have not been caught. But, it still makes us criminals. Even those caught may be let go ... because it is the first time or they are known to be very good in the community. Nonetheless, they have a mark. I wish I could show you in the Bible what God says. BTW a friEND is one who sticks with you to the END ... also, "i before e, except after c ..." is a general rule, with some exceptions. Hope this helps, Searcher |
