What makes your faith true?

You were shown the truth of those verses through the use of biblical scriptures that were right under your nose, you fell into the trap so many do believing you have....

Well to be honest I don't see how you interpret Bible right. When I showed you how Bible encourages greed you said: "Solomon wasn't condoning bribery he was making a statement about how the world works. The scriptures condemn this kind of action."

I mean really?! I'm sure he was pro greed and you know why? Because Bible also tells us Solomon was filthy rich and had 700 wives and princesses and 300 extramarital concubines and yet you think for some unexplained reason he was a humble man who condone humble way of living - I mean give me a break.
It is you who is deluding yourself seeing some "perfect" people that aren't there.

Your answer to this would probably be "Well it's all because of the Jesus, Jesus is the key. He was so good that he makes up for those bad stuff to look good"
But what Jesus? Is it the one that yelled and cursed the fig tree? Is it the one who called Canaanites with derogatory and racist term dogs? Is it the one that told people to drink poison because he will protect them? Or maybe the one that told repeatedly that he will torture forever everybody that doesn't "accept" him? Or the one that came to divide families, separating husbands from their wives and parents from their children?

In your delusion you don't see that Jesus, you see the one that said "Turn the other cheek." I mean enough with the cheeks. I mean are you telling me if I slap you over the face you'd turn the other one? Because that is the least of the Jesus teaching Christians hold to. And why should they? If someone starts beating you it is natural to protect yourself.
And even the parts that Christians talk about where Jesus is supposedly good like turning water into wine in Cana is bad if you look into it. I mean if he was all knowing he could have just tell people to boil the water so they wouldn't have to give children wine, because in those days and up until fairly recently water was polluted with bacteria and people would not drink it.

You see how you're deluding yourself? And when I ask you the simple question where you need to think for yourself you get all irritated how I'm trying to mock you and trap you and whatnot.

The KJV is as much God's word as anyother translation, we have better understanding of ancient Hebrew and Greek so the newer translations give us more exact wording.

Well then why are you so quick to orgasm over the KJV, then? It's literally one of the least faithful translations of the oldest versions there is, and deliberately so. Accuracy in that text was sacrificed to the twin gods of divine right and pseudo-Shakespearean language.

Actually, I agree: the KJV is as much "God's" word as any other translation
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

There can be absolutely no doubt that Percy, the Pan-Galactic Pigeon, exists, is the creator or all, and will judge us all when we die.

For did the Prophet Dove (Seed be upon Him) not state, "For blessed are the believers, they will dwell in the Coop of Percy for all eternity. But damned are the non believers. They shall be as statues to the believers, and an eternity of dried crustiness shall be theirs!"

Repent, my friends.

Repent before it's too late!!!!!!

I can confirm this. Percy the Pan-Galactic Pigeon and I are part of the same pantheon. He's one cool bird.

Can someone pray to Percy and get Him to lead His flock off my sodding balcony?

"Bread for the flock shall satisfy them.  But LO!, too much feeding will bring them upon you time and again, and the droppings shall be the reward of the truly devout!"

"Blessed art thou who let the tired flock rest, though a broom 'tis good for driving back onto the path of righteousness. And certain pallets, is they art legal in thy area, can help to send member of the flock to Perdy's Coop earlier than scheduled."

How about an air pistol? Warning shots, of course; I'm not a monster.
