I never said God wrote the bible. I said proof of his existence is through the bible, because as you stated, the bible was written through diving intervention. Since the writers' words were inspired by God (which is what I believe) that proves to me that there is a God.

The bible is a book written by MEN inspired by GOD.

We must believe in God's son Jesus to gain access to heaven. So are you saying that you believe there is a God? And of course He cares about us, he loves us because we are God's children.

You really do not have to be so rude, man. Like seriously. You must understand that I have my beliefs, and you have yours. Understand that I believe that the Bible is God's word, written by men. That is what I believe in, so please do not act like such a dick towards me. Grow up.

Again, you believe the bible is symbolism, and I don't. Do you know what I want to get? I want to get why people don't understand that the Bible is not symbolism.

If it brings comfort to you at the end of the day, wouldn't you believe it? Why do you think America doesn't show you about all the innocent kids we kill every day to protect what we have?

Please provide me with some scientific examples that science has proven religion wrong, please. You know priests? Or do you know one priest? Or do you know all of them? Religion does not make me feel important. Actually, I am nothing compared to God. He is the all powerful, and I am his servant. But you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way.

Again, that is your opinion, but I must say it is a pretty ignorant one. I am going to university to become an accountant, and I plan to get married, have beautiful kids and a successful career. Is that not making something out of my life?
