What is your take on this theory?

I wasn't really directing the whole thing at you, because I read what you said, and I knew that you weren't a complete atheist, I guess you are like me, in I understand you right, you question your belief about God, but it seems you do it more than I do, and sorry if that's not correct, I didn't fully understand what you meant by that post. I meant that almost every atheist I have ever known has making fun of religions, so I guess I was just really pissed about another thread being created that questions God's existence, regardless if the person doesn't 100% believe that God doesn't exist. I remember someone telling me that the Bible wasn't written by just ONE person, but by like at least three, no more than five people, wrote it, and that when it was translated, some things weren't translated correctly, and that some of the things in the Bible weren't fully correct, because the stories in the Bible were passed down through mouth, like many other fables. And I hope we don’t have any hard feelings against each other.

 

well even if the Bible is completely wrong, the religion that's behind it serves another purpose which is bringing people together (i think).

 

Whoever told you those things about the bible is smart, those are all proven facts.

 

Actually the bible was written by like 40 different people and the bible is almost completely accurate to the old text except for small grammatical errors and some substitutions for words.

 

Well and that's what people have to remember...it's just a book. And it was written by around 40 people.

 

As if people don't do that all the time, like in the crusades, I wonder how many people lied about their belief in God. I have faith in my religion, so I'm not really worried about being reincarnated into a toad, and if I do get reincarnated into an animal of lesser intelligent than humans, I would live a good life to be reincarnated into a human again. I'm not fully behind my logic of "what if you are wrong?" it was more of a thought I just had, and wasn't really a theory, I just kinda thought about it while I was writing. And you could have complete faith in God and Jesus if you converted to Christianity, you might not have at first, but if you follow the Christian life, you would probably have faith, regardless of your thoughts in the past. I mean, just look at all the people that were Christians, when they turned into atheist, there minds are made up about God not existing. I guess me saying I didn't want to argue means nothing...

Well excuse me for not remembering a number.

 

Argument is inevitable in situations where 2 people from differing ideologies meet, and one says something ignorant.

 

Who said that the Bible was written by God?

 

You're excused. I have never been able to talk about religion without arguing.

 

I'm sorry for having faith in my religon, I mean you may think that me believeing in something I have been taught my whole life is ignorant, but you know, we have differant beliefs so whatever.

That's what kinda pisses me off...you can't talk to somebody about your beliefs without them trying to disprove what you believe in.

 

Good point. But why he so mysterious then?

 

well i don't think anyone here is trying to convert you btw.

 

I know a lot of people like that. I really don't care whether you belive in God, Buddha, karma, reincarnation, or whatever you want.

 

To me, sorry if I'm sounding ignorant to whoever is not a Christian here and how stupid I must be for saying this even though the Bible is nothing more than an object that contains pages with words on it, the Bible is more than a book, it's not just pages with words on it, it's rules, morals, stories, fables, guidance, it has all the things written down in it that you should live by, I mean Christian or not. Makes you wonder why it's called the Holy Bible.

 

For real, I think should figure things out on their own, and don't judge and try to convert people.

 

Ya. It's like a life guide.

 

That was a pretty stupid statement I just made. lol
But what I mean is, there's no way to tell if those words are the truth. Because to me, the Old testament was very well written and had a lot of meaning full messages. But the new testament seemed like Kings and squires wrote it, and seemed kind of thrown together. Plus, that's where most of the talk about heaven and hell and the rapture is.

 

Actually a lot of the new testament books are letters from the disciples.

 

So that's why he wrote the bible, because he's mysterious? He's so mysterious because no one has seen physical evidence that he exist, nobody knows for sure if he exist, nobody knows for sure if he created everything, nobody knows for sure if he did everything that was said that he did (I'm not sure if I worded the last one right...), he's mysterious because people have faith in him, regardless if they know for sure that he exist...but I don't really know what you mean by mysterious. I also believe, though it may go against the Bible (I don't know), that if God does truly exist, I don't think he would be a man, but a woman...I mean think about it, if what is said about him is true, wouldn't you think that he was a woman? I don't know how to word that right either.

 

Well why do the disciples have so much credibility?
