Goes in to God Mode :,)

This isn't even his final form.

Humans were spoken through by God to make up the Bible. The bible wasn't haphazardly thrown together by men. I'm no expert on the Bible's canonization, but bible.org often answers my questions and subdues my doubts toward the subject.

You are undoubtedly correct with the translations though. The worrisome part for humanity is that it's hard to know when something's mistranslated. I'm often skeptical/cynical myself, so directly translating the original transcripts is often very sobering.

I'm curious what have you found that isn't good. If you have questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

[Christopher White]

yes but the bible was written by what? human beings human beings make errors, there are over 600 miss translated words in the bible so is the bible really the truth?

[Diztrack]

I read the bible, I will tell you now the word is far from good. I suggest you do your homework.

Operating on an entirely different level.

Yes, religion has been used for corruption and profit, but what in this world hasn't? The point of any religion is to offer a solution to the brokenness of the world, but there are some (often known as wolves) that take that which is good and use it to their political, economical, emotional advantage. I urge you to read what is in the Bible, it isn't easy to differentiate between who is speaking truth and who is speaking lies because we all lie and the world is broken, but God's word is good.

I feel that quote will be looked back upon for generations to come.

[Diztrack]

well, the square root of pork chop can be compared to my observations. Cook pork chop, eat pork chop and whatever that comes out later is the answer to the square root of a pork chop question.

I feel sad if you ever had a son and he saw this. Moving on, I suggest that you give it a long hard thought on what morality really is. Religion was used as a tool to rule, now it brings good revenue. There are no two ways about this, no other hopeful story that changes the very fact that another person was subjected to the aggressor's "faith" and "belief". Besides, what you just said in the end sounded like a suicide bomber.
