And Hells come back to haunt me

[ThomM]

Hi Folks,

I am in a bit of a Predicament, I read yesterday about the pascals wager and so I became a bit skeptic.

For the last year I have had problems about the 'Unforgivable Sin and Going to Hell' To rid myself of these problems I decided to read the Bible and see if I became an Atheist.

Honestly - I had never read the bible so the Unforgivable sin to me was one passage that I knew against the backdrop of all the ones I didn't know.

The way I think is that I need to read something for myself - Taking peoples word that I didn't commit it or using scripture does not work I need to learn this for myself.


That crap out of the way:: I decided to read the bible. I found 149 problems with it and that's without reading my SAB Bible.

By the end I was concrete in my opinion that God 'May' Exist but if he does we are all pretty much fucked as he Isn't very stable minded. And it also appears he punishes those who aren't on his team. E.g. Abraham - Lot - Joseph.

But since people are raising pascals wager I am a bit deluded as I now believe I am going to hell by the God of the Christian bible.

Weirdest thing is the fact that I don't much want to goto heaven as it doesn't sound much better e.g. Kissing Gods ass for eternity.

And lastly is the fact that I have my view on Genesis that falls apart quickly. Maybe I need to solidify my Athiest Belief?

Is this a correct view point - Would reading Exodus add more concrete to the Athiest Mixture or would it weaken it.

Actually - I have always recommended that a person READ the bible - start with page one - and read the entire thing.

Note that most of the stories of the Old Testament are MYTH and created Legend. THERE never was a garden of eden - nor a great flood - nor Joshua in a battle at Jericho

Now - use your intelligence - why would a god who knows everything - allow a book to be represented as its Infallible word - yet contain so MANY things that simply cannot be true.

Example - according to the bible timeline - the earth is only 6000 or so years old -so HOW come there are tree trunks with over 10,000 annual rings that can be physically counted (I know the earth is billions of years old - but I only need prove that it is NOT 6000 to debunk the bible)

A column of water of the height of the claimed great flood would - by pressure - literally destroy every single man made thing on earth - yet the flood - claimed to be 300 years after the building of the great pyramid - had NO effect on that pyramid. WHY - the story is MYTH.

If you only found 149 things wrong - you were not counting - the very first page of the bible has almost that many wrong.
