It's Time to Dump the Hebrew Scriptures.

by smmcroberts in

why do christian religions continue to pretend that the hebrew scriptures (aka the old testament) is god-inspired and that it describes a loving god?

don't they see that the ot is largely an embarrassment to its believers?

please read my blog to see why i think christianity should dispense with the ot all together:.

eliminate most of the NT as well, maybe concentrate on what jc said and not what OTHERS may have said.

second thoughts just dump the whole lot

How can anyone really be a 100% confident atheist given the paranormal and occult?

by yadda yadda 2 in

jw
friends

i don't believe the bible is inerrant nor do i hold a 'christian worldview' any longer as my profile details say (which i am unable to update on my profile), but i just can't see how anyone can be absolutely 100% confident there is nothing out there we can call a 'god' or spirit creature in the face of endless first-hand accounts of paranormal and occult experiences that felt as 'real' to the person who experienced them as anything else in their lives.. there are untold reports of ghosts, faith-healing, ouija boards, seances, spirit mediums, stigmata, mystical born-again experiences, speaking in tongues, and then there's hypnotism, ufo sightings, poltergeists, remote viewing, etc, etc.

ok, so its mostly only anecdotal evidence, but the amount of it is so overwhelming it is practically corroborating evidence.

in the face of all this, how can anyone categorically assert that there is nothing out there that is beyond ourselves that we might call a 'god' or spirit creature?
