Everything.

As the Greeks once brilliantly said, "know yourself".
Do you even ****ing read the bible?
:dw:
telling someone "do not murder" is not plagiarism. this is a simple statement of a universal truth. you act like hammurabbi code had a trademark on "do not murder".
Just like I can say "2+2=4"....I am not plagiarizing anyone. I am simply writing a fact.
not really a miracle since my bible tells me God is in control of that.
You want to know who is a God? Kim Jong Un and his father/grandfather. God hasn't stopped North Korea in 60 years and he never will, he can't cross the DMZ to heal or feed anyone. You can pray for 1000 years and unless WE the mortals do something about it, nothing will change. When a surgeon worked on a N. Korean woman/man's eyes they praised Kim Jong Il, the same REASON YOU THANK GOD YOU FIND YOUR FN CAR KEYS! You are brain washed JUST the same as North Koreans. STFU and good day.
Based on math alone, I don't accept the premise that any Holy book is meant to be taken 100% verbatim because random inaccuracies alone, regardless of all other considerations, demand the conclusion that those books have been changed over the millennia as humans translated them, copied them, re-wrote them, etc. Based on my own studies, my conclusion is that the important thing to take away from the Holy books is: "Don't be a dickhead."
I said I have no proof that God exists, only that I believe it to be the case. If I find proof he doesn't, I'll revise my conclusion.
What other things do I believe outside of religion without evidence? Justice, the inherent goodness of mankind, law, honest government, love, that we should spend some of our time on Earth trying to learn more about the way the universe works.
Whereas in the Bronze Age, the question was, "what's the right way to obtain a slave?"
Why did an infallible, omniscient, omnipotent God make such a flawed creation as mankind? I do not know. Still looking for an answer on that one.
When everyone can prove that Jesus didn't exist, I'll listen, until then, he's my king…
And even if someone does show proof he didn't exist, HE'S STILL MY KING
faith is not accepting everything without question. Faith requires you to question to continually seek answers.
Mr.Bolt-on said:The problem is that there is no such thing as science. Just men seeking answers, and solutions to problems.
this is true for some ..but I don't think all1. It provides explanation for the unexplainable.
2. Hope to the hopeless (strength to the weak).
this is true only for those that believe that God cares about every little facet of our lives. God does not will bus loads of children to die, nor does he give a shit about that job interview you go on. the religious right that believes this are deluding themselves.Or, a bus load of kids is killed going to school. Well it must be gods will. That explains it. There is no other possible explanation. Again, explanation for the unexplainable.
As for the second part, let's say you have a job interview. If gods on my side, I'll knock this out of the park! Give me strength lord.
Its very hard to overcome this indoctrination because we grow up thinking this fantasy is true. And if you believe you did get that job because of god, it just furthers this fantasy.
I have. More than once. Have you read it and really thought about it?
Yes. I know God exist simply because I understand how the world works and through years of research I've come understand the "true version" of history and not just on blind faith.
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
You understand how the world works?
Then why don't you enlighten all the scientitsts who apparently DON'T understand "how the world works" since they don't believe in gawd?
Better yet, why not publish the research you've done that allows you to KNOW God exists?
Maybe - if you really worked at it - you could be a little more arrogant.

The easiest person to fool is yourself.

Word!It is as useless to look for perfection in the human practice of religion as it to look for perfection in the human practice of the scientific method.
The Bible teaches that there are numerous false gods. He is the one true God. Its the easiest way to identify Him.Why exactly do Christians capitalize the words "He" and "Him"? Is the big guy in the sky somehow immune from proper grammar?

That's easy, its so His creation could debate it on an internet forum thousands of years after the fact. All in attempt to better know HimI have. More than once. Have you read it and really thought about it?
Genesis 6:1-4 (NIV)
6 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with[a] humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
Numbers 13:32-33(NIV)
32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. 33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”
