You call the Bible the magic book, you either can't spell Jesus or you're misspelling it to get under the skin of Christians ( I believe the latter), you quote scriptures as you know their meaning and you in general disrespect those who challenge you. Don't expect common courtesy when you do not show any in post after post and thread after thread. Most Christians would rather have good conversation than to argue but, when you disrespect what we choose to believe by mocking many parts of it (ie. the Bible, Jesus, God and ect.) by using disrespectful wording for them then you should expect some kind of defensive front to be thrown up at you.
By the way I was watching a show the other day about archaeology in the middle east and a secular archaeologist said that the Bible was still a valuable book to use in the discovery and understanding of ancient sites. This is from one who is there digging to find the truth, words from his own mouth, not from some paper that is written to impress more than to enlighten.

No one is "mocking" the Bible. We may be mocking your ignorant understanding of it.
Are you trained in ancient Near Eastern literature ?
You don't chose to believe anything. You were TOLD what to believe and you swallowed it.
Faith is a gift, in your cult.
It's not a choice. One does not get to chose what is reality.
You have no understanding about Christianity, how do I know, simple you ridiculous statement above, it's childish at best.

They would have a vested interest in the Bible being literally true.
It isn't. None of it.
The only thing they have vested in their work is their pride, they do not care about the truth or they would have found it long ago. You have yet to show that none of the Bible is true, you have claimed now prove it.

You do realize that a "god creating" is meaningless. Creating is an action process which requires time. There was no time (yet).
Therefore you cannot use a verb with a temporal meaning. Try again, and next time actually THINK about what you're saying.
I have a full understanding of what I say, unlike you who jabbers a lot so you can impress your fellow atheist, guess what I bet not all are impressed with you, I've been here a long time and understand some of the atheist here and what might impress them and it's not someone who post a bunch of crap and never brings any proof to the table.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
