What am I left with here, factual accuracy is unimportant and I think the message delivered blows...tits on a boar man.
(that "all thats required" bit is a pretty hefty leap btw. If that's required...you're going to have to produce it, else you've omitted what you deemed a requirement)
The objective of theism is that both need to coexist. If we are going to analyze God as simply a potent force, we lack the Christian message. If we're going to make the Bible a book on philosophy, we do not have enough conviction for an actual religion.
Much of the Bible HAS been proven to be true and Christians DO believe in a God,
and at the same time what we actually LEARN from Scripture is what we bring into the way we lead our lives.
