Ishmael- it begins with the evidence (rejected by most) that we have be created rather than just evolved.
If you refuse you acknowledge THAT, NOTHING can be proved.
1- pray to god (whomever you may imagine him to be) asking for understanding.
2- study the background about the bible (from non-religious sources) to see where it came from.
3- discard (or at least set aside) chuyrch claims and dogma.. 4- read it, looking up archaeological/historical sources about the places and peoples referred to.

Nothing wrong with having 'faith' in one's own ability- yet to pretend we have made ourselves is tragilarious!
figures don't lie...but liars figure!.
the message for those babies who are now in their 30's and 40's is that "we warned your parents about a date that meant nothing!".
how does that wash credibility-wise?.
None, as usual, Clary. Why?

Ismael, only one God can be seen in history (tiny Israel, Empires like Babylon falling as His prophets predicted- and a TRUE Sacred Text that actually makes SENSE!).
The rest are statues prayed and sacrificed to....

Strucky refused to give a specific example, and gave this flimsy spin instead: "As I stated doc,The god of the bible kills (or supposedly authorises to be killed) anyone he wants...and usually its the people who are just using the gift of free will that he supposedly gave them!Thats like saying to a child "here is a piece of candy...I gave it to you because I love you...but if you eat it , I will kill you"
Try defending that Doc...."

How about your FIRST one?
Stucky, you have to give SOME kind of references to claims such as " How about the fact that the god of the bible is one of the most self centered, vicious, murderous, despot in all history".
Please, if capable, give a specific example.
