Santa versus god
January 6, 2016 at 7:30 pm
One is real, but the other is not.
The reasoning, one is divinely inspired.
The problem has always been the word "divine".
After all, we all know men created Santa and that men created god.
The only difference is the question of divinity.
What proof is there of divinity?
Men can be inspired to do anything. If god is the subject, should we automatically add the "divine" tag?
I doubt it. I doubt it very much.

The death blow to my faith was realizing that the bible was only "inspired", and Christians do not even argue this point.
I asked a minister if the bible was divinely dictated or if men wrote it under inspiration. He confirmed the latter.
There's simply no reason for any person to logically conclude that they got everything or anything correct.

There was a special atmosphere around the earth 2000 years ago, which made everything anyone wrote down instantly true. It ensured every word was free from dishonesty, mistakes, exaggerations and also ensured the words would be copied perfectly for all time after that.
How do I know this? It's written down in this forum post. What more evidence do you need?
