Isn't it amazing how  people will believe stuff simply because its in the Bible?

I agree with you on your points. The problem is that people cannot look at the Bible objectively. The part that gets me the most like you said that they cannot see the fundamental difference between the OT and NT and how they completely clash with each other.\n\nI also find it funny to think that if you Believe in the Bible then automatically that works like the Koran and the Veddas also cannot by divinely inspired. Who is to say that G-d did not give different religions to different people.

The thing that we must remeber is that the bible may be corrupt. There is significant proof for the bible being selectively edited and this could mean that a lot of it isn't true. Also Evolution seems a much better theory. It is more believable and we have more proof for it. I hope this answers ur question.

I don't think it's a question of whether or not one believes in the bible.  The bible's existence should not some into question, it does exist, The more important question is how it is interpreted by people.  Is it the actual word of God (a relatively modern concept bought about by the church in reaction to scientific advances of the 18th century, prior to this it was not seen as the true word of God)  Is it human accounts of ture events in history, or is it allegorical stories, written to demonstrate the concepts of the christian faith.  I believe, personally, that it is a combination of the last two.. I am not christian, but I do believe that Christ existed, though I don't know what he was, I do believe that he was a wonderful spiritual man, with many wonderful ideas, but I do think that some bible stories are written to demonstrate the tenets of the christian faith, and may not have been actual events.  I don't think that the bible is the actual word of God, I don't think God would have contradicted himself as much as the bible contradicts itself, and there are alot of human constructs in there, I don't mean this as an insult to anyone's faith, I don't think it lessens the bible's importance, but I cannot believe that it is God's own words.  I believe that some of the things the bible say's are good and true and everyone can learn from the bible, Jesus said some amazing things, and sometimes it seems that the churches ignore Jesus, who said the meek shall inherit the earth, and yet the catholic church is disgustingly wealthy, I don't mean to sound like a religious nut here, I'm not religious at all, but I do have respect for what Jesus had to say, So whilst I don't believe everything the Bible says, I do believe that the bible exists as part allegory, and part history, and mainly as a very heavy book found in most hotel rooms.

Because they study the Bible as literature, and not the Word of God. This is where belief comes in. You have to believe it, and apply it.

I agree 100%. That is what the Bible tells us. The world would be a much better palce if, more ppl belived in the Truth.

Nothing from the bible has been proven except obvious things (the sun rose that morning lol). There's much better explanations for nature and the workings of the universe than the bible has ever given. EVIDENCE and FACTS point towards things VERY different than those written in the bible. It's vastly outdated and filled with lies and things we should long have forgotten.

I am a christian as well and i think that we are right in our beliefs, there is nothing in the bible that ever was proven to be false far from it the more they dig the more it is proven to be fact, the best psychics in the world are not nearly as good as the bible , the reason so many people are against Jesus and the Bible is simple they are lost as it says small and narrow is the gate that leads to life.

There is "prophecy" in anything people are gullible enough to believe.  Bones, Dice, Cards, Stars, Chicken guts, sayings of 'oracles' at Delphi, tea leaves.  ALL of these things prey (not pray) on the stupidity of people who want answers to the unanswerable, the future, the unresolved past.  Be a skeptic, and ask questions like this one, and do not believe anything just because "it is written", look at the bible contradictions within itself!

Many do not believe that,because they don't believe in God. Many of them also say they know the Bible better than the believers,and thus they will also be held accountable for all the knowledge they have gotten from God's Word and still remained unbelievers.

Of course there is NO proof, or evidence of any kind, that the bible is "god's word".  It's something people believe in on faith.  Faith is the same thing as SUPPOSING something is true.  Suppose your soul goes to heaven, or hell, or whatever.  What happens to your body?  Most people will admit that your body rots, or is burned up in cremation, because you can see that it happens with everyone that dies.  You think with your brain.  If your brain is destroyed you can't think.  Most people that believe in heaven also believe that somehow you can think in heaven, but there's no reason to believe that, outside of your desire to not die.

I am as astounded (as you seem to be) that people believe something just because it is in print. That doesn't mean that I don't read. It means that I think for myself.

No, but people are believing the lies of the bible.

So they can fill in the gap in their mind that questions the purpose of life and existance.  Whether or not the bible is truth, people just feel good believing something rather than nothing... thus the gap is filled and they can sleep better at night, regardless of whether what they believe is right or wrong.

Most people don't understand the Bible because they are interpeting it theirselves. \nThere's only 1 Bible and 1 Religion(Eph.4:4-5; 5:27) people should know this. \nThe Bible tells us that God will tell you what it means; if you let the Holy Spirit (2Peter 1:19-21)guide you into truth. \nDoes anyone do that? NO

There are Christians who believe in the Bible fundamentally, in that everything in it is 100% true.  The problem with that is that the Bible oftentimes contradicts itself, so you'd be hard pressed to read it cover to cover and not be a little confused.  Then, there are Christians who believe in the spirit of the Bible and the example of Jesus Christ.  They understand that the Bible was written for a certain audience in a certain time.  The Bible was not written in a time where modern science existed, for instance, the concept of sexual orientation was not something that was known during the time the Bible was written.

Everything in opposition of the Bible drives them crazy. It's already been established that it is fiction, and not even an original piece of work as it was stolen from other writers. But some people believe that it is really possible. That's their perogrative. I have not seen the movie so I can't comment on the contents. \n\nBut I agree you really do have to wonder when someone gets that upset over something. Perhaps it's not near as strong and firm as people would like you to believe if they get that threatened by a work of fiction.

Because the Bible is a book that demands life-changing action, and declares that we are morally responsible to someone greater than ourselves.  If man can prove the Book false, he can do whatever he pleases!
