None of that matters, unless you can provide demonstrable, falsifiable evidence and reasoned argument to support your case that a god actually exists, and created a system that requires 'salvation'.
Quote:It appears to me the Bible itself, and the events depicted in it, and the life of Christ, are among the strongest evidence for God. The Bible is testable. If you find it to be true then what it claims should hold some weight. At the end of the day it is still entirely up to the individual if they desire to subscribe to it.
Not in any way is the Bible evidence for the existence of the god character depicted in it. The Bible is the claim.
How is the Bible 'testable'?
Yes, this. How testable? Is it all testable or only cherry picked sections?
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
