And how do you know about god and his power? Your bible - which relies on your god's power to be true. Circular reasoning, you see?
Lol, no good trying to guilt trip me. Any god who creates his subjects sick and orders them to be well under pain of, not death, but eternal suffering...just doesn't strike me as the kind of being I'd want to spend eternity mindlessly praising.
I have Moses and the prophets. Not only do I have Moses and the prophets but I also have personal experiences about God's power. I have also seen experiences unfold with other people. God was active back then and he is active now. That is how I know.
I look at what is written in The Bible and whenever it has a claim I then go out and investigate that claim in the real world. That claim is validated. Because I went out on my own accord to investigate and challenged what was said, the answer that came up had to be enough for the thought process and logic.
That has been happening for the last 2000 years. Remember that some of the smartest people that you know are Christians. Remember that link I posted awhile back.
What do you think is wrong with the world then? If you read through Genesis you will see what God thinks is wrong with the world. What happens if you think what is wrong with the world is the same thing that what God thinks is wrong with the world?
If you diagnose the wrong problem then you won't see the real problem with the world. In turn you will see the real consequence and you will offer the wrong solution.
So I must ask you again what you think is wrong with the world? Then offer up what your solution would be.

Now you have the choice to believe what people, who were way less educated than you are let’s face it, said 2000 years ago or to make up your own mind thinking with YOUR BRAIN!! Does it make sense? No unless god exist and can do magic.. If that’s the only answer then you sir are totally brainwash and there’s no going back.
Exactly, we have the choice because God gave it to us. I see that people are under the illusion that God puts an ultimatum to 'believe or perish.' These people have no idea what the character of God is like because they have never gone out to investigate and read The Bible. They think they know more when they are ignorant, not having read all of The Bible or gone out to investigate what it has said.
Now, let's look at one thing what The Bible says and tell me if you agree or disagree with this text:
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Do you agree that you should put to death: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed? Why?
Do you agree that you should clothe yourself with: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience? Why?
