If you believe your deity has any of the traits described in Post #1, the burden is on you to demonstrate how you know this deity actually exists, and how you know this deity holds said characteristics. If you make some appeal to your SPIN on the bible, then we'll ask why we should take the bible as an authority on any subject (including your deity).
Oh my, did you have to respond the way I expected? Deflection, check! Ad-hom, check! Goalpost shifting, check!

No
Quote:If no, what should be used?
Belief in christ as an important holy man.
For many years not only couldn't most christian's read but the readings by priests were done in a foreign language that the lay people couldn't understand (latin).
So are you saying orally transmitted stories would be satisfactory to inform one of Christ?
