What kind of God do you believe in?

Debate on Science and Religion. My Mom and Dad are having a philosophical discussion. This is not unusual in my house. And even though they are both very adamant about their points, they are not actually fighting. They refer to it as exercising their brains.

There's a conspicuous gap in knowledge in re the teen and early Twenties years of Jesus,making his biography a...bit.....difficult....to nail down....Top-drawer ballsiness tossing those gamblers from the temple though,eh?!

theyve obvously been arguing with each other for a long time. i can see a patern of evasion on your mums part. i think your dad is trying to argue evidentialy but your mum is treating it very adversarilly. it takes two to tango though. i bet your mum often argues the complete opposite to the arguments she made the day before.

[FactVsReligion]

wow. you are totally right about my mom arguing the opposite side depending on how she is feeling. That's pretty good incite.

FactsvsReligion, having watched all the videos you have posted of your parents debating God and religion, I think you should count yourself quite fortunate to be a child of such thinkers. I don't see this kind of deep discussions between husband and wife normally. I can see where you get your skeptical wit.

i wish my family would speak more often about this issue...

The religious live a life of cowardice. Unable to face life's challenges without their imaginary friend there to OK their tyranny or blame them for their foibles. We dont want cowards in the mix of Human evolution. Normally this filth would be weeded out by natural selection but now it is allowed to breed and train more cowards. We need to stop this and carbon monoxide is the answer.

Is God the "real" author of the bible?

Didn´t he somehow BEAMED the verses into his prophets´ heads?

Well, he didn´t...as he surely doesn´t exist, and IF he does, he´s NOT the God of the bible as the bible got so many things wrong, it can´t be inspired by an allmighty, allknowing deity.

[helpmetony]

@NKA23 it is NOT supposed to be one author. Have you ever talked with a bible scholar ? Your knowledge of this topic has become obvious to me. Thanks for taking the time to talk with me, and keep searching for all the answers to everything in this marvelous universe! I must move on. Peace be with you!

[NKA23]

*That´s because of it´s inconsistency and internal incoherence.

IF God inspired all of that crap by "beaming" it into the heads of his prophets, he must be some sort of loony.

@helpmetony

The bible considers itself to be "the word of god", so it is supposed to be from ONE author, no matter how many people it took to write it down, but we can actually proof that it is almost impossible that only one mind created the bible*.

But that isn´t the case.

Man, no bible-author had MY abilities in math or my knowledge of psychology or my knowledge of astrophysics...and I am not even an expert.

People from those ages had barely NO education compared to our modern standards.

[helpmetony]

@NKA23 much better for credibility to have more than one source, dont you think? That is not a vaild point whatsoever. "Uncivilized and uneducated" from YOUR point of view, you mean. There are boat-loads of scholars that would strongly disagree with you there.

[NKA23]

@helpmetony

Not on the spur of the moment, but I could...Aristotle left his teachings, we can analyse them and prove that they´re from one single person at least with a very high probability.

The Bible is NOT by one single author and even chapters of the bible were often written, rewritten, combined with texts of other sources, etc.

"The Word Of God" is just the word of men, many of them were quite uncivilized and uneducated from today´s point of view.

[helpmetony]

@NKA23 you are mistaken, there. Not everybody knows that God doesnt exist. you will still never be able to prove or know that. It is an opinion my friend. Remember, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I could easily say that Aristotle never existed. How could you prove me wrong, really?

[NKA23]

@helpmetony

Nope, I don´t have to prove that unicorns don´t exist either...everybody knows that they just exist in fairy tales and fantasy novels or movies.

Same thing with God...

[helpmetony]

@NKA23 and you are very sure of that, aren't you? I suppose you would also have to prove that to be fact also, best of luck!
