And if you study Gone With The Wind will Scarlett O'Hara visit in your hotel room? Reading the same book over and over and deciding that it is real because it says so is nuts.

There's a "point?" I want evidence of that point!

Min I stated that I study, reading over and over is not studying. To answer your question NO dear Scarlett's only a fictional character. I do not believe I'm nuts since you set the qualification. I believe what the Bible says because God says it's true and I've discovered this in my relationship with Him.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Does it feel good to be so intellectually spineless?

Your god is as real as Scarlett O'Hara, son. Reading that ridiculous book is a waste of your time.

Ok, so did God actually talk to you (physically), and if so, when? What was he like? What else did he say?

Or are you going by the usual rhetoric of Christians and saying that God "talks" to you via the scriptures. If so, then all you've said here is that the Bible is true because God says so in the Bible. Circular argument!

What qualifies you to make such a judgment?

Through answered prayer and because you have no heart for God I do not expect you to understand.
When: many times throughout my life.
What is He like: awsome.
What else has He said: through the snide remarks of nonbelievers I will show you more truths.

So god came to you personaly and said 'this bible its true' or did you hear he'd said that somewhere?

I'd check your sources I think they are wrong.

I have read the bible and its batshit crazy.

Have you ever just read it cover to cover rather than cherry pick the 'lessons', it reads really badly , like the worst novel ever, (which it gets my vote for by the way)



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
