Guest Bill M Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Should we base this life on fiction, myths and fables? I challenge anyone to provide 'objective verifiable evidence' that their god actually exists. Why do people believe in THOUSANDS of Gods? Again there is NO - NADA objective verifiable evidence for the existence of any real Gods. They are all based on ancient copies of texts written by hundreds of other men of totally unknown veracity. There are no original documents in existence because they were written on parchment which rotted away thousands of years ago! All that exists are copies of copies etc. of unknown authenticity and veracity. Isn't it logically obvious that if any of these documents were the word of any 'real' god that he would have taken steps to preserve them and demonstrate their authenticity? They are not historically factual but are mostly myths, fables, contradictions and impossible tales. Of all these different Gods and belief systems which is the true one, if any, and which are fakes? None of the ancient religious documents are any objective 'evidence'. They are all documents hand written, hand copied, interpreted, modified and further copied, over the centuries, by errant men with their own personal and selfish motivations. These documents were all written a thousand and more years before the invention of the printing press. All religions are ALL based on ancient myths and fables and NO god has directly AUTHENTICATED ANY of them. Man can directly communicate with the whole world via TV, the Internet, Phone and Radio and the postal service. IF there is a real God, why does he not announce to the whole world from his heaven, by at least an equally effective means, that he is the real God and all the others are fakes? And why does he not tell us clearly and directly what he expects from us instead of using hundreds of vague, ancient, contradictory, unoriginal documents, compiled by different religions and hundreds of men of unknown veracity? Why does he not expose and smite all the false gods? I'll tell you why. The real objective evidence is that no Gods CREATED MAN but quite the opposite; that man created gods! There are thousands of different religious and god beliefs.

We therefore know our God and have seen Him. (Jesus in John 14:6-10) Atheists don't know our God and therefore cannot see Him, (Jesus in John 3:3) and no, we won't send you all our money as "objective, verifiable evidence", to prove our love for you. That's what you are after, aren't you? You will just have to believe us, that we answer your posts because we love you in the Lord and that this loving action evidences our God, whose essence is that very love and care we show others. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are the goblins, ghosts, spirits, tooth fairies, poltergeist, clairvoyants, sooth sayers, wizards, witches, aliens (to date), places like heaven and hell, all the books of religion are man's creation including Jewish fairy tales (Bible), and all the others are made up bull by superstitious morons from around the first century. They were scared of their own shadows. Lightening was their god in a bad mood. So much bullshit. What is surprising is that people still believe it! The bible says the earth and the heavens were created 6000 years ago and we have light coming from distant galaxies that left there billions of years ago. We see them as they were billions of years ago. How can people still believe religious bullshit? They must be dumber than we can imagine.

That's what you are after, aren't you? All religions rest on the patently illogical, un-provable premise that "what this book says is true because the book says it's true". That, unfortunately, is the best that religion has, and ever can offer, as a way of proving it's God/divine authorship premise, an embarrassingly paltry, painfully childish claim that would be laughed out of any court, as well as any credible institution of higher learning.

The Jesus story is totally implausible. It is not supported by any solid objective verifiable evidence. Should we believe in a god for whom there is NO solid objective evidence? The evidence available is quite the contrary. It is totally implausible! This Jesus belief is based purely on faith in totally implausible stories, not factual objective verifiable evidence of any kind. The Bibles were written recopied and modified by hundreds of men of unknown veracity and honesty over a time span of several thousands years. There are NO ORIGINALS IN EXISTENCE. What ever the originals were have rotted and disappeared thousands of years ago. We don't know what the originals said. The Bibles are nothing more than a mixture of myths, fables, contradictions and impossible tales. There are 18 different versions alone of the English Bible interpretations. According to the Bibles, God supposedly created the heavens, the earth and everything in it in six days. Adam, the original man was created during this time from 'DUST'. His mate, Eve was created from one of Adam's RIBS. According to the Bibles this all powerful omnipotent God supposedly created this huge complex Universe in six days! This God supposedly came to earth over 2,000 years ago as a man named Jesus to save mankind from the sins that God himself created and to preach his wishes and commands. Archeological evidence indicates 'modern' man has existed approximately 100,000 years. Why did god wait all those years to come to earth to preach his word and pay for man's sins (which he himself created!)? This all powerful creator of this huge Universe supposedly came to Earth as a baby in a cold manger, in the middle of winter and was born of a virgin called Mary. Why would he choose to be born in such an ingenuous way? Arrogant humans had to make up a myth about a god arriving from the womb of another human. If Jesus was supposedly born of a Virgin Mary and she was the wife of Joseph, why was she still a virgin? Why did the women need to be married to a mortal in order to give birth to a god? And why couldn't this all powerful god creator just come to earth in what ever form he chose to create? He supposedly created the Universe and everything in it! If he could create Adam instantly from dust and Eve from a rib, why did he use this slow tortuous means to create himself as a god man on earth??? He supposedly grew up as a normal child and worked as a carpenter as an adult. There are no details in the Bibles about his younger years. After about THIRTY YEARS, he supposedly announced to the local inhabitants that he was Jesus the God savior from heaven to tell them God's wishes and commands. There are no significant records of Jesus', (the Christ) actual existence in the non religious documents of the era. Depending upon which Bible story you choose, it is claimed he preached his doctrines for less than one, two or three years. In any case, why put himself on earth for some thirty inconsequential years and only use a few of these years to preach his doctrines? And then not use his omnipotent power to preach to the WHOLE world instead of just a miniscule part of the world around Jerusalem? Jesus was baptized. In Christianity, baptism is the sacrament of regeneration and initiation into the Christian church. According to a theme of St. Paul the Apostle, baptism is death to a former life and the emergence of a new person, signified by the conferring of a new name; it is the total annulment of the sins of one's past, from which one emerges a totally innocent person. Then why would a 'God Jesus' need to be baptized? His sermons and teachings only reached a miniscule part of the world population at that time because he did not speak via the equivalent of International Radio or TV. IF he was an ALL powerful creator of the world, he certainly would have the ability to speak to ALL of mankind by means at least as effective as man. Why did this all powerful god creator wait 100,000 years to come and preach to only a very small segment of the world, for a very short period of time, (depending on which Bible you choose) and then leave us without ANY solid objective verifiable evidence of his existence, his wishes and commands? Why did he not preserve his teachings in some permanent form for all of mankind in the future? The Bibles were supposedly written by 56 or more authors of unknown veracity over a period of thousands of years. There are NO - NADA originals of any of the Bibles in existence. The originals have all rotted and disappeared thousands of years ago. They are all hand copies of copies etc. of unknown actual origin and veracity. Why would any omnipotent God, creator of this huge complex Universe, provide his message in such a sloppy, inaccurate, unreliable, questionable and confusing manor??? Why did he not use his great omnipotent powers to preach to the WHOLE world from his Heaven, instead of just preaching to an insignificant portion of the world?? Why did he leave most of mankind totally in the dark? He supposedly distributed his word via hand copied documents called the Bibles. Yet NONE of the Bibles were written during his 'claimed' time on earth. The original Bibles were written and hand recopied more than 1500 years before the invention of the printing press. There is no evidence that Jesus ever wrote a word. NO ORIGINAL copies of ANY of the Bibles exist so we do not know what they said! Why did he not preserve them? The Bibles now in existence are hand copies of copies etc. of unknown and doubtful veracity. They are largely myths, fables, hearsay and contradictory and implausible tales. The four books of the New Testament were written and copied somewhere between 60 and 200 years AFTER Jesus' supposed existence. None of the authors could have known him directly. They are all third person fictional narratives of unknown veracity. Why would a real god, creator of this huge Universe, not arrange for the creation of clear, authentic, contemporary and permanent copies of his word? During his brief adulthood, preaching his word, he is 'claimed' to have restored site to a few of the blind, restored mobility to a few of the crippled and restored health to a few of the sick. Why was he so niggardly about helping the poor, the disabled and the sick? Is this the likely conduct of an all loving God creator? After the brief period of time he preached, it only reached a very small part of the world's population. He did not avail himself of any communication means as effective as Radio, TV, Telephone or the Internet. He then allowed himself to be painfully and brutally crucified on a cross between two criminals to pay for man's sins (which he created). If he died on the cross to save mankind, why was mankind no better off after this supposed crucifixion than before? Was all this blood and gore for nothing?! The Roman courts were models of order and fairness. A man was not condemned without a trial; he was not handed to the executioner before being found guilty. And yet we are asked to believe that an innocent man was brought before a Roman court, where Pontius Pilate was Judge; that no charge of wrongdoing having been brought against him, the Judge declared that he found him innocent; but the mob shouted, "Crucify him; crucify him!" and to please the rabble, Pilate commanded that the man whom he had found innocent, should be delivered to the executioners to be crucified! Also, real criminals were crucified by being 'tied' to the cross - not nailed! What was the purpose of all this blood and gore? Why should any REAL god need to suffer for man's sins??? (which god created) Why was his life and crucifixion not in any of the numerous historical documents of the time??? Why is this only in church documents? If Jesus performed the wonderful miracles the New Testament describes, why did the people want him crucified? Is it not amazing that a civilized people would demand that a kind and loving man who went about doing good works, who preached forgiveness, cleansed the leprous, and raised the dead - that they could not be appeased until they had brutally crucified the noblest benefactor of mankind? This makes NO sense at all! If he could create the Universe and every thing in it, (including sin) why did he not just forgive man's sins, directly from his heaven, without all this blood and gore? Three days after he died he supposedly rose from the dead and returned to his heaven. Why did he wait uncomfortably in a crypt for three days after his death and internment to return to his magnificent heaven? Why did he wait 30 years!? How can an immortal god die? Jesus did not die for our sins. People are still praying to him in his supposed heaven! What was the logic and purpose of this gruesome and painful killing? Only a miniscule part of the world's population at the time would be aware of this claimed sacrifice. Billions of people today are still not knowledgeable believers of this highly implausible story. Why did he not preserve a video tape, DVD or other permanent record of this historic episode? If man is capable of these devices certainly a god creator should be equally or more proficient. Why did he not leave any 'authenticated' documents accurately substantiating his appearance? Why has he failed to communicate further for over 2,000 years? He supposedly went through this torture and humiliating death to pay for mans sins which he himself created! Why did he not just wave his wand and forgive man's sins and skip all the ridiculous blood and gore??? Why did he create sin in the first place? This should be no problem for a god that created Adam from dust and Eve from Adam's rib, and this immense Universe. Why do people supposedly still have the same sins that he died for? Why does he encourage or permit Christians to drink his blood and eat his flesh? Isn't this a pagan ritual? Why does he continue to allow thousands of greedy self serving men to deliver his word to his flock in such a vague, inconsistent, contradictory, and ineffectual manner? There are hundreds of different Christian sects and beliefs. There are thousands of different religious and god beliefs and practices. Why does he allow this gross confusion? Why does he not communicate clearly and DIRECTLY to his entire flock that he is the real god and all the others are fakes? It would be more responsible and more effective to eliminate this gross confusion? If he is the real god, why does he even permit the belief and propagation of thousands of false gods and false religions? The Christ tale is obviously not factual history but pure myth. The objective evidence is that God did not create man but quite the contrary; that man created Gods! > What about you... what do you want to believe... what do you believe to be > truth and fables? > The Kingdom of Heaven is like a hidden treasure...Seek Him while you may. > > rockymt > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let me emphasize "become" ( with a child-like trust in; being teachable as a child is) to begin to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, otherwise it is foolishness, much like it is to those perishing in their sins. "You may ask me how I know my God is real; you may doubt the things I say and doubt the way I feel; but I know He's real today, He'll always be; I can feel His hand in mine, and that is good enough for me."

Nor does it matter. To look to one person or one ideal to guide us is narrow minded and shallow. Wisdom, understanding and the correct way to lead our lives comes not from one single role model, like Paul's Christ or a football player but from us all. I look for the good in everybody and synthesise the best as my guide. A casual remark or a wise action can make a difference or remind me when I have forgotten. Thus I tread my path hopefully gaining wisdom as I do. There is nothing to be gained by looking to one single source like the Bible. That is a dead end.

I suspect they don't want us to analyse what they write just be impressed by its emotion of it. Of course the more simple minded and naive you are the more you will be impressed by it. It certainly looks looks impressive on first scanning with phrases such as, "The power of the Good News" (note caps for emphasis)," revelation and truth are revealed to the heart", "the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven" Even his description of birth is expressed in a highly emotional and colourfull way (flesh gives birth to flesh) but it soon begins to fall apart when looked at with a more critical eye. It soo becomes clear is a triumph of presentation over content as it does not stand close scrutiny. I suspect all this signifies mostly nothing. Empty phrases to paper over a worthless belief and self-delusion into a world of fantasy dreamed up by an impoverished mind. He is not so much trying to convince us as himself. So what we need is a Christospeak - English dictionary if we are going to make any sense of passages like this. I was going to make some tentative suggestion but my post got overlong. So I have selected just one, the one that appears at first sight to be the most impressive: revelation and truth are revealed to the heart. = you can so convince yourself by pretending this god is real that in your self-delusion your mind start seeing what it wants to see. ("revealed to the heart" is just an an emotional way of saying "my mind has started seeing what it wants to see) Les Hellawell Greetings from YORKSHIRE - The White Rose County Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
