The question that makes fundies hostile

[Brian37]

I get that too, but only for some bits.

Do you have a similar experience with any other religious or secular texts?

Only through the studying of God's word.

No, you make excuses by reading words in a man made book because you want to believe it has special powers. Pick up the Koran, read it, if it doesn't give you that same "special feeling", then maybe you need to consider that there is no special power to the book you like either.

The bible was written by unscientific people who had no clue about the nature of reality. It took over 1,000 years and 40 authors with books left out and the first canonized version was VOTED ON. Hardly comes across as the work of an all powerful God.

Seriously, if "Goddidit" meaning "poofed" the universe into existence, why would he need a man's rib to make a woman? Not that that makes any scientific sense in any case.

And if he could "poof" all this into existence why take flawed humans and 1,000 years to do something he could do himself? Hardly efficient.

The bible is a book of myth like the Koran and Torah and Talmud and Reg Vedas.

I do not believe because it feels good or feels right, doing something for those reasons would be wrong. I believe because I know God is real and that what He offers is best for mankind.

You can't prove that and you know it so you have to believe it and make excuses to believe it in the face of reality. That is called willful ignorance.

"Offers is best for mankind"? Like what? Child molesters? Childhood cancer? Children dying from famine? Hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis, dark ages, slavery, sexism, homophobia, holocaust, 9/11?

Sounds like a deadbeat to me if he can stop those things but refuses to.
