Godschild, it can all come clear if you realize that Revelation = Imagination, and that your brain is working overtime to fill in the blanks of a system of thought so full of holes that I could slice it and enjoy it on a sandwich.
You couldn't understand a conversation about the Bible even on a basic level, your lack of Biblical understanding can only do one thing for you, ignorant statements and deluded ideas. Before you even attempt a discussion about scriptures you should spend a few years in Biblical study.

That's a strange requirement since I'm sure you haven't spent nearly as much time (if any at all) studying the scriptures/holy books of all of the religions you dismiss out of hand. I'm sure a Muslim or a Hindu could make exactly the same point to you about your lack of understanding concerning their religions and say, "Well, you really need to spend at least a few years studying Koran/Gita/etc. before you can speak intelligently on the subject."
But you wouldn't lift a finger to do so, would you? Yet we are supposed to jump through hoops because you think it's a good idea?
Yes, I know . . . you are in possession of your god's eternal word. It's just that you can't demonstrate it persuasively to anyone other than those who are already in agreement with you or those who lack the critical thinking skills needed to understand that circular reasoning doesn't demonstrate truth.
