The ET holy war is hilarious.

I went to Sunday School as a Kid. I had my Bible, we'd put the "Jesus is Love" Jesus is this that and the other" Stickers all through it. Jesus seemed like a pretty cool Dude.

If Jesus is real, if God is real, its reprehensible that they allow the stuff that goes on in Life happen. People are enslaved, tortured, killed, raped etc every minute of every day. Don't tell me its all part of God's plan.

@Overnight is more my Saviour. At least he is funny.




"Save me Jesus, I accept you"

Free Will is a bummer sometimes. Even God thinks so. Humans can be really evil.

Yeah but what church does he belong to? If it's Mormon they'll probably bill me for their time at a couple hundred dollars per person and there's no tax deduction for me like they have.

The Christian church is obsessed with the devil, their arch enemy, the embodyment of evil.

Let's pretend for a moment it's real.

Now ol' Satan is cunning, the bible mentions that.
If you were Satan, what would plan #1 be?

Well I'd imagine, to pretend to mankind that you were God, good, Christian, religious.

Think about it, being sidetracked all your life worshipping a God which is a story made by men for men with a devilish influence.

What proof have Christians that the bible written / influenced by a buggering King James is not a total stitch up of epic proportions, where stupid obedient subservient non questioning sheep are led to slaughter by the biggest con job in history.
What proof have christians that the bible is God's word and not a ficticious word or a half truth word?

You're halfway there. They really do have above human intelligence and every human needs to be extremely vigilant especially the ones that are overly sure of themselves.

Christianity is about faith and not demonstrated truth. The bible is a vehicle for teaching ethics (at least in parts) and made up primarily of fictional stories written by humans long after Jesus died. Jesus was one of many itinerant Jewish preachers who was in the right time and place to be picked up as a central symbol for the Christian religion (which was based in many ways on other similar regional religions of the time). The Jesus story gradually evolved over hundreds of years to become what it is today. None of it is true, but some of it is useful for people who resonate with Bhakti Yoga style devotional paths to the divine. In practice, particularly in America, most Christian churches today seem to be far from the early ethical tenants of Christianity. But then, Humans tend to generally corrupt what they touch.

Christian principles are great when it suits the occassion, when it doesn't suit then, either ignore or come up with another excuse or bible quote to counteract.
'Gods word' has many meanings, it often can mean anything you like.
