ScepticalPyrrho:
Anyone who presents the teachings as actual events that played out in reality can be questioned.

Afterall, the Bible says they won't believe without signs and wonders. Unfortunately, preachers and christian apologists have nothing to offer.

Many people are just too gullible, even without proofs they accept anyway. How can I blame them, their parents and society have indoctrinated them since infancy.

You'll come along .

signs and wonders you say. The signs are,clearly all around you.






lets see about that but i doubt.

ScepticalPyrrho:
Well, the jewish god - yahweh doesn't make sense to me.

Life is a matter of choice, Jesus didnt force the Good news on people , so if you choose not to believe then you should stop castigating the teachings.

ScepticalPyrrho:
Because we haven't uncovered the facts doesn't mean we should rely on some assumptions or storybook.

Anytime you are to state your beliefs, present them as such. Not as a given fact. Ok?

well until then, I still stand with what makes sense to me

ScepticalPyrrho:
Did you not read all my response?

Until you sincerely re-examine all this claims you won't see the errors in your claims.

We haven't established that God truly exists. How can you know what it is?

Yes there are many believes , some of them misinterpret eachother, But my question is how did everything start??

ScepticalPyrrho:
It is part of our nature to seek answers for the mysteries that surrounds us.

I haven't seen a ghost, neither have I seen an amputee grow back his/her limbs through prayers.

Fact still remains the same, we don't know what we don't know. Simple.

I've found a way to live with that. Many are still too scared of stories they can't prove to be true.

Religious posits remains beliefs and beliefs doesn't count as knowledge. Without knowledge we'll continue to live in fear of the unknown because of unrealistic and ancient scriptures.

God is the Alpha and Omega, he knows the beginning from the end, probably when you encounter Him, honestly I Pray do.

ScepticalPyrrho:
It is a short story, but it took a long while.

It started with exposure to the history of religions.
And my exposure to epistemology(what does it mean to know).

I studied objectively. I didn't let my believes cloud my judgement. I saw the faults in Islam, without bias, I had to accept when I identified same flaws in christianity too.

I stopped making excuses for things that didn't add up in the bible... there is a lot I used to dodge with ready-made answers I didn't understand...

I sincerely dropped all claims I have no evidence to back up. Re-examined my beliefs from time to time... and gradually I found myself on the side of an agnostist.

Check up the story of Buddha, Krishna, Zeus, Thor, etc

Yes you have a point but sometimes when you look at the world and try to explain everything in it, none of it add up when you try The scientific approach still many loop holes. think of it

ScepticalPyrrho:
Yes

so tell me what really happened, what led to your disbelief?

ScepticalPyrrho:
@Bolded part...

That's actually one of the theories of how religions came to be.

Every person would interpret things the way their mind can understand it. It doesn't make it a universal principle.

Have you wondered why the Jewish God's character is so much like a jewish person?

He only loves Jews, punished Jews, cared for the jews until 30BC?

Common, just think.

If a God can give you brain use it to its full capacity.

And right now, I have more convictions that Yahweh can't be an omnipotent being. As a matter of fact, it wasn't real. Just like every other god all over world, Yahweh was just someone's way of making sense of event beyond his understanding at the time.

How else do you expect primitive men to explain how the rains came to be, or the sun, moon, sea, thunder etc. The Yorubas have a claim to knowing a God of thunder. The absence of written records makes our African Traditional religious posits seem inferior.

Stop lying to your own intellect. Religion strongly holds on to fear and mere beliefs as authenticity. You can prove "jack". The convictions you think are genuine, doesn't really hold water.

You only know what you know. You can believe whatever you think makes sense in the absence of knowledge.

you 'were' a christian, right?

Why are you mentioning him , is this news?

ScepticalPyrrho:
Assumptions...

Well, I have gone down this lane, I was so skeptical to the teachings in the Bible until I had that experience I(quite a long story tho) . Somethings are left for the OMNIPOTENT cos when we human reason about them, we tend to create answers entirely different and to suit our own understanding. Well thats it ...

ScepticalPyrrho:
It beats me... I swear...

@sirvvy

Pls, respond to this too.

Just a thought, how do you pass a message to certain persons who dont listen to you?

ScepticalPyrrho:
Would the waters be salty or freshwater?

You know some freshwater animals can't survive a day in salty waters vis-a-vis sea animals.

The Bible didnt really give SO much insight on how the animals where kept, I just gave you my own opinion which I think happened.

YES!!!!!!!
