That's not what you said. You said you didn't believe in a "man made God."Originally Posted by pete311
Well, neither do I, but words in a book don't make a God. Words written in the Bible don't "make God."
The words in the Bible are basically a historical account, and nowhere in those words does it state that "man made God."

A wise man once said...
"... I'd rather live my life believing there is a God and die and find out there isn't, than live my life believing there isn't a God and die and find out there is."

Yeah his name was Pascal and if that's the kind of gutless bullshit your god enjoys then what does that say about your god? I'd value a god who values skepticism, critical thinking and discovery. Not someone basically making a calculation.

All religions create an image of their god. After all how else would you know the christian god without the bible and church? You think a man grown up in isolation on some island miraculously understands the christian god?
The Bible is not history, was never meant to be. The Bible's writers knew this, theologians know this.

Nope, sorry, that's not true.
God presented himself to Moses, and spoke to others through angels, etc.
Nope, sorry, wrong again. The Bible is basically a history book inspired by actually events, except for the book of Revelations which is a foretelling of the future.
You know NOTHING of what the the writers of the Bible knew, or you wouldn't here proclaiming to be an atheist, and theologians can only give you their opinion.

It's a fact. How do you know anything about the Christian god? The bible, who wrote the bible? Men. These are man made religions.
How do you know? It's in the bible? Written by who?
No it's not. The Bible is not a primary document. It's been rewritten, translated and books put together over the centuries by the church to form an evangelical device. It's authors wrote their books decades and even centuries after Jesus.

Well, now you're just back to talking like an idiot, and I'm not going to repeat myself, or try to convince you of something that you wouldn't admit being wrong about even if your life depended on it.
You're a Christian basher, got it, b'bye.

Good rebuttle. Not bashing anything.

Yes you are. You're spewing things about the Bible and Christianity that just aren't true, and you don't want to discuss anything about it because your mind is already made up about it, and you'll deny, deflect, contort and lie to belittle any religion, and in this case, Christianity.
I learned a long time ago it's an exercise in futility to argue people like you about religion.
