I've gone through this before, and it never seems to sink in with anyone. The term 'inspired Word of God' does not mean that God put every single exact thought that went into the Bible into the respective author's heads. The term 'inspired Word of God' is said as such because the men who wrote the Bible were inspired by the will of God and His nature that they observed around them- in real life. How do we know it isn't all just mythology? Because teh same things those men observed and wrote about in the Bible are evident in present time, there for us to observe and learn about. God is independent of the Bible, we don't absolutely need it, but it is a huge and incredibly accurate influence on us(by us I mean Christians.)

You're influence by a book that endorses slavery in exodus 21? odd

*facepalm* Oh, wow...way to completely ignore fucking everything I said...

Quote:You misunderstand the Word of God

Its just the word of men, lad.


Now go live your life and forget about ancient superstition.

That's the thing, Min. I am living my life, and enjoying the hell out of it, too. What the hell has atheism doen for you? How old are you? And you're still cynical, jaded, and angry at the world, cursing people out on an internet message board.

No, I wil lforget nothing. I like to remember everything I have learned, for everthing is important.

One could say the same thing about Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Chinese or any other mythology. Cultural trappings change, technology advances but humans remain humans with similar experiences and challenges in life. There's no need to see a divine hand in it, unless you wish to say that God's influence is in every story we tell. If that is the case, we're back to "just another book" .

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." (Gal 2:16 KJV)

Freed me from your fucking god and the parasites who serve "him."

Quote:What the hell has atheism doen for you?

Atheism hasn't done anything for me, and I don't need it to do anything for me. It doesn't "do" anything. Atheism isn't selling a world view, it just not buying what yours is selling.

Hmmm what has god done for you watson? You know, besides the cosy feeling of being a security blanket?

As for atheism, well, see this video to an answer:
