The Bible isn't evidence. It is a collection of stories written by
several subsequent cultures, shrouded in myth and embellished with
legend, to explain the cultures' relationship with the world around
them. It isn't Truth©, and it isn't evidence any more than The Wizard
of Oz is evidence of the Tin Man.

Just what don't you understand about the fact that atheists don't
believe in the existence of gods, including Jesus? You may as well
tell us that we will stand before Peter Pan to be judged. To us, it
is an equivalent statement.

LOL The quest for knowledge shouldn't end. The yearning to discover,
to know, to know, to understand should never be sated. I will never
be content that I know "enough". I will never stop questioning in an
effort to learn more.
You may be sated with your god belief, but is a meager snack for some
of us. It doesn't stand up to scrutiny and leaves a bad aftertaste.

having named it, you have converted ignorance to knowledge
is a sorry approach to the unknown. -- John Popelish
