How Can Christians Still Believe??

[Godscreated]

A mother being willing to sacrifice her legs for her child is not love that goes beyond understanding. It is not uncommon for people to be willing to sacrifice great things for those people that they love. I am not saying she did not sacrifice but it is not so great as to escape understanding. It is also a generally natural instinct, some people don't have it I suppose, to protect ones child even at the cost of your own life. I have not studied Neurobiology enough but I am willing to toss the dice here and say that its been studied out.

Then please give us an understanding of this love if it's so easy to see.

The problem is brainwashing from birth and not being allowed to question about the scriptures, nor challenge them.
I read recently the New International Bible. It is a more accurate translation than other versions and has been written by scholars world wide.
I was amazed to find in one part that Jesus had travelled north and was saying he was the son of God. A woman approached him and said..''but you are a Greek. It is said that the son of God comes from Galilee' There was a Greek community in Judea in those days. Greeks also were in Egypt/Jordan/Iraq.
I then began to wonder if the scriptures were mainly Greek mythology so brushed up on my teachings from school days.
Zeus had three sons with earthling virgins. One son of a god and an earthling was Mithra,who died and rose again on the third day.
I then came to believe that Jesus had been 'invented' by the Greeks as they hadn't before 'invented' a son for this relatively new invisible God.
King Akenaten of Egypt, decided that because the sun and moon weren't doing as they were asked; he said there must be an invisible God up there so we must pray to him. And so God was 'created'. This concept was taken to Israel by Moses and so religion began, when all it is really is mythology.

You should read the entire New International Bible, then you would see there is no resemblance to Greek mythology. The story of Moses alone should show you that, but read the whole Bible anyway.

I believe the entire Bible is true, there are prophesies that are not yet completely understood, that does not make them any less true.This fundy is proud to be a christian, even though it came to me as an undeserving person.

I saw the interview and the mother was happy that her children did not lose their lives and if the cost was her legs she was OK with that, this is love that is beyond understanding.

Sure, maybe you should address what has been said as it applies to you as well, being a "fundie". Pray for that undebateably deserving woman's legs to regenerate spontaneously, and if you return with null results then your God is practically worthless. Oh, and it also proves prayer has no effect. As a matter of fact, find one amputee who has grown back limbs- you can't.

What I find really odd is that people like you would have called it a miracle had this woman and all but one child died in whatever accident. You might have said that God spared that one child, or some such poppycock (excuse the language). But when it comes to something that is falsifiable, your God is powerless and prefers to sulk in the shadows of faith instead of yielding practical results in the real world.

Falsify Him if you can, many have tried all have failed. You can no more prove He does not exist than I can prove He does exist. You are right about one thing, in a storm like that anyone that survives is part of a miracle. Only those who refuse to see God's work would call Him powerless.
