Because that donkey part sounds absurd right? grin
See how you're avoiding it, like a plaque. Or are you ashamed of your so called holy book?

i am not just knowing you on this thread neither are you. Be cured of your amnesia in Jesus name. i clearly remember telling you that i believe God and the Bible 100%, on this same thread. Later on still on this thread you asked this inane question again and i replied yet again that every thing in the Bible happened just the way it's recorded. Don't hang yourself over it. God is a miracle working God. 
There is nothing absurd about miracles. They are supernatural occurrences. Nothing to be avoided there or have violent spasms about like you seem to have. You believe the miraculous event between Balaam and his donkey is the centre and summary of his bible account, i don't see it that way. There are different chapters and passages that talk about Balaam. He is more known to me as the man who tried several times to curse who no man can curse, and ended up blessing them. The highlight for you was the supernatural occurrence of his donkey talk. That's your opinion and you are free to have it. i 100% believe it but it's not the main thing about Balaam for me. Very simple.

i am not pained at all, just explaining my one line in many sentences. Finally you understand that i believe in miracles. It's nothing to be ashamed of. That you don't seem to have seen one doesn't mean everyone else has not. Have some sense.

In this modern age and time... It's really something to be ashamed of o.

You should be actually sorry for your lack of exposure. My experience and belief in the miraculous has not stopped me from being an achiever and in front in every field i have ventured into. Not to boast but i am almost certain you do not have my academic or financial qualifications or capacity. i mentioned those because those are things that likely thrill you. When you start looking for work, you will again discover that your bosses, colleagues and teachers believe in miracles and still excel in their various endeavours.

Of course, why not?
Belief is a personal thing and has no business with reality. It's useless when it comes to reality. That is why you're working and not at home praying for money to fall on your roof. The point you just made proves that, your beliefs is as useless as it appears when it comes to reality.

Have you finally discovered that your bosses, colleagues and teachers believe in miracles and still excel in their various endeavours? Did the Bible teach anyone to sit at home praying for money or what brings you to such absurdity except that you again refused to think before talking?

Here lies the problem,you read what i wrote but did not comprehend it.My statement was a reply to an earlier statement of yours where you called out kingxzams and said his account is less than 3 or so years,forgetting that "alternate" account and even "main" accounts exist.

You should have gone further down instead of being hasty. Even if he is seun that probably had the first account on nairaland. He said i was following his moniker and implied a dependent attachment. It is only logical to compare his moniker starting point to mine. Don't be hasty.

Your offpoint point was that people who are well to do, or intelligent, or well informed do not believe in miracles.

Now, his belief that you have issues with is now a personal thing.
A good question would be: How is it that you have issues with something that is personal to another person?
Again, you claimed that it is useless when it comes to reality. Now, how can you have issues with that which is useless in reality?

This is why I feel that many are not in pursuit of truth but just show bigotry. You are having issues with a concept (which is common to everyone - theists or atheists) yet you still claim that the concept is useless in reality.
This is an inconsistency as you are concerned with something that you claim (believe?) is useless in reality. Also concerned with something that is personal to people.

You are just right about your deduction. Many wannabe atheist usually use that lines of "only deluded people believe the Bible" and they tend to back it up by ridiculing miraculous events in the Bible, claiming that such events are impossible. Hence, cannot be true.
Their problem starts with their belief that miracles are not possible events. I call it a belief because they cannot conclusively prove that miracles are impossible events. They must be timeless (to go back in time to be able to know that ALL recorded miraculous events are not miracles or not true), they must be omnipresent (to be able to be AVAILABLE SILMULTANEOUSLY in ALL PLACES to observe all events at the same time) and they must be omniscient (to KNOW ALL THINGS).
Relying on present knowledge to make deduction is a form of belief (which is borrowed from a Christian world view) because know one knows if the characteristics of matter will change in the next instant. One has to believe that it should remain the way it has been observed to be in order to make prediction about it.
Philosophically, most atheists won't be able to stand on their worldview to make many meaningful claims; such as stating that Bible believers are deluded. How can they prove that the statement is true in the first place? They definitely have to believe it.
Again, they can only[b] believe that miracles don't exist[/b]. So it is a thing of belief and not about being informed

Have you gone through my posts today?
If you haven't, quickly do so and don't fail to reply all of them. grin

@bolded, you'd have to point out where I said that. grin My comment implies that it's ridiculous to believe that a donkey talked even though it's not possible. So where in my comment did I say, people who believe such don't excel in life? grin

You're the one who said

I don't remember telling you that you're failure in life because of your beliefs. You're the one who brought it up like I told you that.
You even went ahead to boast about educational and financial qualifications like I asked you. grin
So. You'd have to point out where I called you or anyone a failure for upholding such beliefs.

You could be Dangote/ Bill gates, and believe in Talking donkeys, snakes and flying Unicorns, that doesn't make such belief true, neither does it make it any less of a stupid belief.

That's why I told you that, with all your educational and Financial qualifications, you did not achieve those things by reading your bible, you simply did that by facing reality, which has nothing to do with talking donkeys and snakes.

It's not rocket science.
Certain stories/names in the bible were adapted from somewhere or events that actually happened. Same way the Spider-Man movie is based in a real location, (New York) but we can't conclude that a man who shoots spider webs and flies in the air exists.
But I don't expect much from folks who won't read the article but jump into conclusions that a donkey once talked simply because an inscription which contained a name was found.
It's only a brain dead mofo that'll believe a snake and donkey talked simply because a 2000 year old book said so.
But you'll call these same archeologists liars when they show you 'alleged' bone fossils of Dinosaurs. Who is fooling who?
