Christians. Could you be wrong?

[C4RM5]

My point was some thing along the lines of believing in a second had account. Even if it wasn't written in the disciples lifetime it was written soon after.

Here's the thing.

You could go interview (first hand) 1000's of living people all over the world, that sincerely believe they were abducted by aliens. There are even multiple people that claim they were abducted together.

These are people alive today. Not second hand, not hearsay from friends and relatives.

Do you believe they were actually abducted by aliens? Or do you think that it might be more likely that they experienced some sort of natural event that they misinterpreted? Or hallucinated?

Why do the Biblical supernatural events become more believable when they are written in ancient texts, decades or more after the alleged events, by superstitious, tribal people, with way less understanding of the universe than we have, with no way to be verified?

I do noy reqlly know if they have been abducted by aliens, I know it is claimed to have happened I have just never meet anyone with these claims.
You can never truely understand what someone else has experienced, therefore I don't know whether they have or have not experienced an abduction. You have to agree it is hard to understand some ones expeřience without having the same experiences.

To be honest I am not sure how to answer the last paragraph, I would say it is trust based, but I am not sure.

Can you explain your thought process.

I'm back. OK let me put it another way. Over the years since the bible was written (or even just since Christianity started) lots of evidence has arisen that disagrees with the biblical worldview. We know much more now about physics and the universe and the natural world.
I think you would agree that the bible is under attack from all directions. It takes an increasingly more and more narrow minded person to ignore plausible and testable models in favour of having faith in a millenia old book. the bible is the lie and the illusion. You are seeing the illusion because you want to see it. Your mind is in shackles. Let me tell you, once you let it go..man it's like a huge weight gets lifted off when you don't have to carry that bible baggage around any more. And you see the world and people for what they really are. Flawed, but human. Try it dude! Be free!

I agree the Bible is under attack from all angles. I don't really ignore scientific theory, but there are examples when natural process do not excatly follow the theory. I don't think I would ever be able to or want to let go of my belief. I think I would feel vulnerable without God. I believe I see the beauty of the world, it is amazing. I also see people for who they are. I don't judge people by their beliefs but by chadacter and personality. I feel weighed down when I sin but my religion gives me a positive view on life.
