...why have you left the god and his son?.

Anna - Me I left because I could see that the Bible opposed the very basis of WT authority. I had been lied to in my Bible study.
I left for exactly the same reason, so, I applaud you for this.
My bottom line, ok you think I'm wrong.

Tell you what, I'll be wrong with Jesus. He strikes me as being an extremely nice person.
Well, now you mention it..probably, but it's your life to live not mine. I'm not here to argue or try to change your mind. I just like consideration of things. I put my thoughts out there and see what comes back. Fair enough. I'm not convinced either one of us is right. After all, it was in a Church that the notion came to me that God wasn't there.

Anna - So if there is no God you live you die.
I think we do anyway, no matter what we believe.
But if He does exist, Jesus' words hold great value.
Yes. I see your point. From a Christian standpoint it is a fine promise. But what if the real god is Zeus or the Allah of Islam, or another deity?
How do we know? Just because we chose the Bible or the Quran is not a sound basis in my view. Is that a fair doubt?

If the Almighty, Powerful, benevolent God had a book written for humans, what would it contain?

i know for a fact it would not start off with a talking snake, magical fruit, invisible beings that desire beautiful women to have sex with.. and it wouldn’t end with a flying dragon, a two horned lamb, locusts that resembled horses with men’s faces, but with women’s hair and teeth of lions.

and the book wouldn’t allow for hundreds of millions of religions to spurt from it.

i think the first thing a book written by god would have, is that it would be written in a way that all languages could understand without being translated.. regardless of what language you would speak, we could read it and understand what it said.

If God is that switched on, it wouldn't need to use a book. But as it is, God's a thicko.

JJ - I think a lot of woke, peace loving, vegan hippies often forget that.
That's why I'm not worried about eating burgers and steak. If I was in the wild and an animal was hungry, they wouldn't think, 'hey, there's a nice vegan who wouldn't hurt me, we can't eat them!'
No. Not a bit, they'd have your goolies off in a second.
To think, I sincerely believed in the Bible once...and I was very sincere, not pretending. Now I see it as all a big delusion and a con.

Reevy - TBK- have you ever read it all the way thru?
If you mean the Bible; yes, several times. It's rubbish.

Blimey O'Riley. This thread was like pulling teeth.
I ask a question and all I get in return is a copy paste scripture.
I've read the Bible many times over along with other 'holy' works. That's why I can't believe on faith what's in them.

Reevy. I think you just made a bit of a blunder with Simon.
