On the subject of Hell and Salvation

[possibletarian]

I'm not going to get dragged into another argument with you, possibletarian, because we'll never get past the premise of God's existence, which is sort of required if we're to discuss aspects of Christianity (which is the purpose of this thread). If you're willing to suspend your disbelief in that premise in order to argue about other things, then fine. Otherwise I'm just not going to bother.

Well don't you think the existence of god is kind of important to everything else you say ? If we can't even establish the existence of god then saying things like 'hidden by god' and 'blinded by god' and all your other excuses are a moot point. You the further claim to have revelation from this god, so I'm a bit surprised that the existence of where you get your inspiration from is a point that you don't feel able to discuss.

Of course it's more easily explained by a 'no god' scenario. If you have no justification for what you believe in the first place then why do you treat any of it as real ?

But for now I'm particularly interested in why you believe the bible, can you fill me in on that ?
