What if the bible is changed from its original inspiration? God, in its/his/her nearly infinite wisdom, inserted the warning about changing the bible. Humans, the crafters of the biblical text, in their arrogance, thought themselves clever when they put the warning in the bible. So the biblical text cannot be trusted. One has to turn to their soul and ask for God on their own to find hte truth.

It'd be too tempting to change the bible, think about it. One thing that crosses my mind are the divisions in the bible. These're something humans like to create. Perhaps they were inserted by humans. I do not believe God would craft something to make people be at odds with each other and to justify mass slaughter.

We humans are a corrupt manipulative bunch. Still are. Science changes nothing.

I'll go out on a limb and say many of the divisions today are similarly created by us. Not to ferment peace, as we like to say, but to fortify ourselves against the broader reality outside ourselves. See, I believe we're all flawed. All countries, all cultures. We deny our flaws and project our frustration on others.

I'm not going to bother addressing all of your message, but this first one is indicative of the whole messed up Christian mindset.

So finding cities mentioned in the Bible proves that there is an omnipotent creator of the Universe who made laws that say we're all going to Hell but he sent his own son to die on the cross to offer a loophole that he made in the first place. Check.

And Spiderman is real because we know New York City is real and he lives there, by the same logic.

See what I did there?

I totally believe at one point in time there was one guy that God still liked, so he had him build and ark and saved him and his family, and the animals, then killed every other living thing walking on the planet. Yeah, yeah that happened.

Or maybe not.

But I believe in a creator. Whether he involves himself in our lives or with events on this planet, ever... I dunno.

I've seen miracles. Maybe it was just luck and timing, incredible luck and timing. But if there is a God he's probably so omnipresent he keeps track of everything everywhere in the universe, right? And maybe budges things once in a while. I dunno...

And if the universe is full of intelligent life... Jesus only came to earth? I don't think so. I also think he has been here many times (I kinda think Melchizedek was Jesus or a version of him).

I think all this stuff is way over our heads now, even with our understanding of string theory and stuff, and is way, way over the heads of people 2000 years ago, and so the Bible is full of God's stuff, but its so misinterpreted at times it seems goofy... because it was interpreted by bronze aged minds.

That's unfortunately heresy today, because most established religions say you can't question what is written. Well fuck that. I'm not an atheist but I sure the hell know BS when I see it.

It's probably more likely that we live in a grand simulation much like P99, but with no play nice rules and RMT is the standard way to get ahead.

just read the bibles for christ teachings imo

some of the stories are used to point them out

im sorry i believe in god and the bibles teachings but i cant buy most the stories as being literal
I remember opening the bible at 15 for shits and giggles while babysitting

Check out Genesis, wheres theres some jews running away from egyptian tyranny into the desert and egyptians not giving a fuck. God mind controls the egyptian soldiers to run after the jews in the desert so that he can drown em all to prove a point.

The bible is just some bullshit stories written mainly by sadistic control freaks who hate women

At least if they ripped off the good shit from the female religions they were trying to destroy, and freely get fucked in the ass or something

Sorry, I disagree with the OP.

My rebuttal: James Randi: Archaeology vs Bible

Any more "proof"?
