My House Did not have a Builder (or did it?)

[chimp3]

Your god is most certainly man made. Evidence : There is no knowledge in the bible attributed to god that a bronze aged man could not have known or imagined. What is amusing is that otherwise intelligent people are repeating this magician in the sky nonsense as if it holds up under minimal scrutiny. Cure for tuberculosis? Birds blood spread by the flapping wings of a live bird. Cures for other diseases? Incantations and gesticulations. Get real!

What are you talking about? With the cure thing. I've never heard of that other than in witchcraft, which God forbids. And if a bronze age mad could imagine a god like the one the Bible speaks of, then why did they have so many of them? And how did they think they making an image out of stone and wood could accurately portray Him, when He specifically says they cannot, and forbids doing it? If the biblical concept of God were so easy to see and imagine, why didn't everyone just worship one individual invisible spiritual being who created everything? That concept is quite contrary to the ideas of the old gods they made up. At least they knew that there had to have been some sort of god or multiple gods who made everything, but their concept of who this god or these gods were was quite inferior to how the Bible reveals God. Of course there were those who did believe in and know the real God, but that's because He revealed Himself to them. But those who didn't know Him had a really  hard time believing in one individual God who could do everything God did, and be like Him. And that's still true today as well. God, the way He actually is, is impossible to imagine without information being given to us about Him. And even with the information we do have of Him, we still don't know Him fully as He is. Like Paul said, We see through a glass darkly at this point.

Leviticus 14: (I was wrong. It is a cure for leprosy, not tuberculosis)

48And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. 49And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: 50And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water: 51And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times: 52And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet: 53But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.

54This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall, 55And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house, 56And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot: 57To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.


Me: I guess your god forbids witchcraft, huh? Read your own Bible. Atheists are.

If god(Yahweh) knew more than the people who created it , it would have known that most people have immunity to leprosy, leprosy is not easily contagious, and that simple handwashing and boiling water before drinking is a simple way to prevent most diseases. Instead, incantations and animal sacrifices.
