Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm a "believer" and I have NEVER fallen for any of the crap that's in the Bible...
I'm sorry that so many people did though. I guess it's peer pressure at it worse in most cases. "Don't do drugs just because your friends do them, but make damn sure that you believe anyone the church says is evil will be tortured by an ever-loving god for eternity..."

So what do you believe than?

Seriously or are you trolling?

I believe in God, just not all of the shit that's in the Bible...

*edit (I do believe you're trolling, but oh well)

I am sort of trolling, hence the angels.

What sort of fantasy is god without a bible, thora, koran or another ridiculous religious source?

I think it's nothing but a remedy against fear of dying and the discomfort of not understanding the world you live in.

Sorry catfud, teh wordz "I'm a Believer" convey nothing.

First thing that comes to my mind is ... "Then i saw her face...."

By the by...have you looked up this ....



Really interesting "crap" from your bible



And more interesting "crap"



I could go on and on but I am thinking the question

I'll be your personal and unique troll.

OK Dee Dee, think deeply about how my words affected you.
How do I know what gets under your skin? (it wasn't any divine revelation either)

What kind of God are we talking about if it's not the God of the Bible or anything else? Is it a God you made up in your own mind or something?

Dude seriously, he fucking ADMITTED to trolling. Are you blind too?

As for the tetragrammaton, I've never seen that before, it's quite interesting. However, Yod Hey Vav Hey isn't actually the name that was supposedly revealed to Moses. I like and use it this way because I think it relays a unifying depiction of "created in God's image". You are welcome to believe whatever you like, it makes no difference to me. (that's the difference between me and fundementalist Christians and atheists, I allow everyone to make make up their own mind).

Now, if you want to research something, research what the name that was supposedly revealed to Moses really was. It throws a monkey wrench into the whole "God does not change" philosophy...

Quote: THe earliest mention of the Israelites is from about 1209 BCE

And even that seems to be little more than wishful thinking......

From John Romer's "The First Israelites" Pg. 72

Quote:Six years after his work at Tell el-Hesi, Flinders Petrie was digging at Thebes, sifting his way through ton upon ton of sharp stone fragments, the pitiful debris of royal temples. It was, he recalled later, disastrously dull labour, and he was tempted to leave it. Then, all at once, objects that had been buried for millenia among the rubble started to turn up. A fine portrait sculpture of the king who had built one of the temples was found, the first ever discovered of the Pharaoh Merneptah, that son of Ramesses II who in those days was widely believed to have been the 'Pharaoh of the Exodus'. Then his men came across a huge rectangular granite block lying face down in the rubble, a great grey stela covered in small lines of hieroglyphic (see Plate 3). The block was massive and Petrie did not have the equipment to move it; but what a fascination! A huge new monument, well preserved and covered in history. Petrie had his men clear some of the rubble out from under the stone so that, as he says, 'one could crawl in and lie on one's back, reading a few inches from one's nose'. Then he asked a visiting scholar, who specialized in inscriptions, to examine the lengthy text. 'There are the names of various Syrian towns', he reported after a miserable afternoon on his back in Petrie's trench, 'and one which I do not know, Isirir'. 'Why,' said Petrie, 'That is Israel'. 'So it is,' his friend replied, 'and won't the reverends be pleased'.

It is over a century and we really do not know what the Egyptians ( the stele was written in Egyptian ) mean by the word "Isirir." That doesn't stop anybody from cumming in their pants thinking it means exactly what they oh-so-desperately want it to mean.
