I say to check it for yourself, I'll even give you points to research. What will you actually do though? Is this where you tell me how it isn't worth your time, or do you take the 10 minutes to verify or disprove my claims?I don't know, but I get the idea that at leat most Christians use the bible as their standard. If the bible is not the standard, then where else do you draw information from? /not rhetorical
As demonstrated with the trinity example, simply being a Christian isn't enough. And like I asked earlier, do we use the Bible as our standard?
Or, are you saying that some of the bible is false, and some is true? In which case, how do you know which is which?
(P.S. I may have gotten off of the question you asked there, and I do not know if they must be unquestioning, but some theists act like it. I know "I don't have time" would be a cop-out, but I have something I should be doing now and don't know how to prove that people haven't questioned god and gotten away with it, but I haven't seen an example of questioning = death or not death...about that thing...I should get doing it...)
