The question that makes fundies hostile

[Godscreated]

If it's not true then why should I believe God is real? Why would you believe the OT over The NT.

There's reasons to believe god is real. The possibility is not impossible. Hence I'm an agnostic. I'm still searching for that possibility because frankly: the thought of this life being all there is, is disappointing. I understand your hesitation but if I were you I wouldn't accept the Bible as the word of god for all the security in the world. Its just wrong.

Why, no ones proved the Bible is not a reliable spiritual book of instruction for believers who accept God as He describes Himself.

Who said history is true, most of ancient history is assumption from little evidence.

There is proof out there, though. I showed you some and you dismissed it without adequate basis because it doesn't align with what you think you know.

History has so many gaps in it that much is assumed or out right speculation. I do not use the Bible as a history book other than to track God's work through man.

We're guided by God and see the truth of scriptures, at least those who will accept the truth, regardless as to what we think of it.

From what I can ascertain, you see social observations and commentary that may be quite intuitive. I myself could write a book on how to best handle strife and obstacles, and how to deal with people in a way that can give one fulfillment. Does that mean there is a god who inspired it? No, it just means an intuitive human wrote it.
As for the rest of the Bible, you ignore it at best or uphold it at worst--building up logical fallacies in order to account for the
inequitous contradictions therein.
In the end it comes down to how much of your morality you're willing to compromise, in exchange for the comfortability of the promise of ultimate justice (revenge upon those who do wrong) and hope of an afterlife.

Justice and revenge as you would have it are two different things, revenge in no way has to be just, Justice on the other hand must always be just by necessity.
I ignore none of the scriptures, some I still have questions for God and await an answer. I seek the truth, why shouldn't I seek it from the author of life and the book He inspired. Wouldn't you do the same with a scientific paper.
