Do you believe we are alone in this Universe???

And so what if there is proof that Jesus existed? It doesn't make the fairy tales true. How many times has that story been passed down now? Try passing a story around a room with 50 people, where 1 person tells the story to the next and so on. By the time it gets to #50, it's not even remotely the same as when it started.

The Bible is not merely someone whispering into their neighbor's ear in a crowded room during a silly game. It is actually a compillation of BOOKS that were WRITTEN DOWN. How many times it's been "told" or "passed down" means nothing about the CONTENT of the book itself. If that logic were so, since there are far more STUDENTS than Christians, then good ole HISTORY books would be an absolute waste of the paper they're written on since HISTORY class is taught far more times than Bible reading classes.

Right or wrong?

Wrong. Sure, it was written down eventually, but not right away in most cases. In some cases, like Moses who wrote the first 5 books, it was a long fucking time before any of it was written, not to mention being translated by even more humans. There are literally thousands of different religions based on what is "supposedly" the same book. How the hell can that be? I'm certain at this point, we are so fucking far off that it would be laughable if we knew the actual truth. Keep buying into the bullshit you've been fed your whole life if it makes you feel better though, just don't be suprised when someone else can see if for the fairy tale it is.

It seems you're more surprised that someone believes it.

Trust me, I know there are plenty of people out there just like you that don't believe at all. Again, that's your perrogative totally. Just like its mine to believe what I feel is right.

BTW, it actually does make me feel better.

Great, keep doing it then. If it makes your existence here more meaningful, by all means. It doesn't make it anymore valid or true, but if it makes you feel better, have at it.

Different interpretations by different people. Some people want to believe in it. Others want to refute it. Part of life. Just the same reason that there are literally thousands of different versions of history books.

Again, that is but your opinion in the grander scheme of things.

See the thing I do not get is this: People like you always complain that so called bible thumpers want to try to convince you or force you to convert. But you are trying to get those who believe NOT to believe, i.e. to "convert" them into non-believers. Just because Jamie does believe does not mean he is "buying" into the bullshit. He could say the same thing about you, "buying" into the bullshit of darwinism and not believing etc. He has the right to believe in whatever he wants to and you should not call "bullshit" just because you do not see it that way.

He does not force his belief on you, so you should not force your "beliefs" onto him either and call him out on it...

Enough said right there. You prove my own point.

I'm sorry if you don't believe in GOD or the bible how are you trying to convert people? and what are you converting them to??? don't you have to have something to convert to?

also how can you say someone buying into bullshit if they aren't trying to stand on stories/ideas of a book??? i don't think anyone has menioned darwin or any other belief system for that matter.
