zeitgeist only works for one looking for excuses



The bible is a collection of 66 books written over a period of approximately 1400-1500 years in 3 different languages across 3 continents by over 40 different authors from every walk of life (from a kings throne to prison cell). Most of whom never knew each other and many of which died a horrible death rather than deny their faith. With no historical errors or contradictions, coming together in one single unified harmonious message.

The creation, fall and redemption
Gods universal love for all humanity
A common message of salvation is available to all who repent of their sins and commit to following God with all their heart, soul, strength and mind.

Atheism is the denial of God. People have been writing about these definitions long before I was born. Saying atheism is equal to agnosticism shows you don't know philosophical history. It is extremely arrogant to assume non religious people haven't spent a ton of time trying to understand existence and "God". I would say a person who studies math or physics has a more practical understanding of reality than a religious person because they have actually studied reality. For those who study reality, it is two different things to say 'I don't know" vs "There is no God".

Don't forget the thousands of scripts the leaders of the church decided to throw out because they showed christianity was bullshit. They missed a few for those of us smart enough to look. I guess you don't qualify.

Yes and it would all be too ridiculous and self contradictory for even you to believe.

ya but if it was like that then you would believe it

Quote (Vastet @ Aug 13 2023 12:54am)

No I'm afraid not. It would have to actually be sensible and have testable concepts to even get close to a point I might believe it.
