Religion is no differant a story than jack and the magical beanstalk. God is no differant a fictional character than micky the mouse or tom and jerry.
They are fictional as nothing supports it. By logic and science it is just storys. So a little word for you theists here, you rant and rant over and over thinking you are part of some magical story and trying to get the rest of us to follow blindly. It is only a story, it is just a hypothasis, it is nothing more than a fiction of your imgaination. I see that, we see that but you don't.
It is delusional. So please rethink your words before hand. You are talking about a story that has no facts, no theory and no evidence. People of science cannot just turn away from all that data collected from many hundreds of years and from thousands of scientists just because of this little yet nasty story of yours that holds no evidence.
If you want me to listen your going to need evidence and please don't say "existance is evidence" because I can say the same thing for the spaghetti monster. In which you cannot dis-prove.
So take one good look around you and re-evaluate your surroundings. Reality can not be easily explained by one simple yet violent and contradictory story.
The old testament predates the time of Jesus and contains prophecies of his coming. The prophets also speak of the re-establishment of Israel, which has occured recently. Does this not constitute testimony? It is not scientifically verifiable, but it is truth!
The bible contains essential spiritual truths on how you may be saved.
