Proof of the Existence of God

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

But, really, I should have learned my lesson when I was in grade school learning how to add and they were teaching me all this math stuff and I had math books and the like and I said, "Well, sure.. but what does God say?'

So, I looked at Ezra 1:7-11

In it we learn that if you have 30 Gold basins, 1,000 silver basins, 29 silver pans, 30 small gold bowls , 410 small silver bowls and 1,000 other vessels you have 5,469 items.

The math people told me we really only had 2,499 items.

I was like "Yeah? Then YOU write a Bible, if you think YOU'RE god!"

QFT

I appreciate your input, mac, but you can't deny that the typical fundy-christian position that <event X> is a result of God's wrath because of <evil behavior Y> is pretty absurd on so many levels. I mean, I'm pretty shocked that anyone believes that, let alone the seemingly high numbers of fundy-Christians.

Gotcha. So I guess the story of the plagues on Egypt in Exodus are made up?

I guess Deuteronomy is made up? Check out chapter 28 Verse 15-68

Of course, I did have much better success knocking over my buddy's fort with a trumpet than I did trying to huff and puff. So, I guess there's that.

Come now... be that as it may, everyone knows the seasons change because Persephone was abducted.

But, I'm really just being silly. Fact is, I felt really bad for the way my family was acting and so I nailed my son to a piece of wood. Problem solved.

Okay. That's your opinion. Thanks


If you want answers read the bible

What a completely hollow and meaningless statement. You are doing a great disservice to your religion and faith by regurgitating statements such as this. I was a Christian at one time in my life and had many questions about God and my faith, so I did read the bible. From cover to cover and read many other companion books to help me understand who wrote the bible and to give it proper context. And you know what, once I had a good understanding of the bible it eventually led me to atheism. Simply telling someone to "read the bible" won't convert anyone over to your thinking or faith.

Okay, thanks. But again like I said this morning. I don't have all the answers, nor do I act like i know everything. If i know the answer to something then ill gove it. If not research it in the bible. thats what i meant by that statement. But thank you for sharing your story.

Point is, Mac, the Bible IS a valuable book for some folks. There's a lot of wisdom in it, at least I think so.

But, I'm not willing to forgo reason. And where someone pointing a finger at me from 2,000 years ago fails reason, they lose.

God doesn't send hurricanes to Miami or New Orleans because he's "mad" at people. God didn't cause Mt. St. Helens to errupt because he thought the Seattle Supersonics should have fired Lenny Wilkens... or any such nonsense.

I agree with Brewtus, you do your religion a disservice by pretending otherwise. Indeed, you do humanity a disservice. But... that's just my opinion.

Thank you. I will put your opinion into consideration. God bless you

look at the link....evilbible.com

Regardless of where the link is from, is it not accurate in its asserstions about the bible? is it not quoting verses directly from your "good book"?

If "read the bible" is your answer to the questions people are asking, why would you avoid the very real and very serious problems with that book?

And God said..."This is the worst thread in the history of the internet". And it was so.

The problem is with those links, it's not taken from the context. It's just one verse.

And since God said Pi was 30/10 I was like "[censored] you, I win" and they were like "Here's your F"

I'd actually go ahead and challenge that "F" after the fact, since 30/10 is 3 and really its a question of how precise the polygon you're calculating is. So, in this case, God isn't wrong, he's just kind of using some, shall we say, loose tolerences.

Oh really? so all of those sins are only sin in certain context or is the fact that you can rape women and sell your children into slavery the part you think is out of context? I will pull the verses if I know which parts you dont agree with.
