well firstly, the bible was written hundreds of years after jesus's death, and the people who wrote it never saw jesus, never walked with jesus or had any interaction with him at all. so "walked with Jesus or who had close relationships" is not right according to what i know about the bible. Also, do you believe something to be true, based only if it is written down? with no physical evidence?
"All those things you say couldn't have happened are possible if God is who I bellieve he is." - How do you know it was god?
" I just don't think that's all there is to know." - yes! science doesnt have all the answers but, just because a book talks about something that no other book talks about, that doesnt make it true.
All of the old testament was written before Jesus. Peter and John were apostles who accompanied Jesus during the last three years of his life. Paul who wrote the majority of the new testament lived from approximately AD 3-62 according to Funk and Wagnalls encyclopedia. That means that the large majority of the new testament was written shortly after his death. I respect that atheists don't buy what the bible says. But I'm sure you believe much of what you've read and heard because you trust the source. I'm not just closing my eyes to reality; that's why I'm on this forum. I've learned things about atheism that I had misconceptions about and now also about satanism. Gotta go, but if you have any more comments you want to make I'll be back later.
