If i ask wrong for goodness sake somebody on here help me correct it... i admit that the biggest part of my argument or evidence for a creator and a God is the Bible. Is it the Old Testament books that ya'll think are the most ridiculous or is it the whole bible including where Jesus comes on the scene?
Who/or what evidence do yall true atheist go to for proof of no God/gods?
Thanks ya'll.
Honestly, the bible has many good things.
In between those good things, there's some allusion to "magic"... .or, as you'd call it, miracles. These miracles make the story look a lot like fiction. And this works for both OT and NT.
You could have a read at the "Jefferson bible" to see how the NT could look like if it was properly written and without any allusion to miracles. There you'll find what we consider to be the historical Jesus.
But then.... if we look at other "holy books" around the world, we see the same sort of thing. Some good stuff in there, with some magic bits. Take out the magic bits and it sounds like a totally different thing, even if the main story is the same... or has the same outcome.
As far as evidence... I got nothing... is there any evidence that you go for proof of God? Oh, you said the Bible... Why? What in the bible makes the existence of a god be the more realistic view of the world? If there was no bible, would you have nothing to believe in? There was a time, over 2000 years ago, when there was no bible at all... and yet, people believed that god existed... how did they do that? Would you believe under those conditions? Why do you suppose they believed, back then? And, remember, it was these people who then came to write the bible which you use as the basis for your own belief. Why do you trust them?
