No way in hell I'm going through 12 pages of this shit, but I will comment:

I think atheism is a fairly egoistic and conceited belief that extends from mans own superiority complex. The factors that it took to create life are so incredible that "chance" is harldy the term to use if there was no work of a higher-power. Notice the use of the word power. I do believe in god. I believe that "god" is the name of this force that has exerted control to act in such a way as to give life to this universe. I do not believe god wears a robe, and is prone to tossing thunderbolts to disbelievers. I believe he came, he created, and he moved on.

The bible in my view, is a fantastic world rendered in scientific terms. In that time, science WAS faith, it was the divine. The acts that occured are unexplainable in the terms and sciences we have today, so there had to be SOME explanation for it.

Having said that, there's gotta be SOME reason this bible existed, and beyond a mass cult that swept the world, none of us have any clear cut answers.

The simple fact of the matter is - you DONT know, one way or the other - and you wont know until;

1.) You die.

2.) The rapture happens and all of us are stuck on Earth.

3.) You say "I'd sell my soul for..", and the Devil pops up.

So I remain an agnostic.
