i didnt read any of this drivel; however, seeing that i got my degree in this shit, i must chime in on a couple of things.
1. DINOSAUR BONES thats right, motherfucker, dinosaur bones. where the fuck are they in the time scheme of the bible? if the world was started 6-7000 years ago, like the bible proposes, then where the hell do the dinosaurs fit in. they roamed the earth millions of years ago, yet the bible says the world isnt even 1/100th that old? so who is right? and if you use that bullshit test of faith excuse, then you call in to question the legitimacy of all science. do you really want to do that? cause it is much easier to defend science than the bible.
moreover, on this one fact alone, dinosaur bones, you should not believe in the legitimacy of the bible. for if it is wrong in this case, then how could it be right in other areas. are you going to pick and choose which parts to believe and which ones not too. if you do, then you are saying that you are a vessel of god who has the power to edit his divine words, which turns into a philosophical nightmare.
2. the second thing i have to say is religion aint vegas what do i mean by this? the title of this thread implies that you want to believe to avoid damnation. do you think god will find your heart to be true if your motivation for belief is everlasting joy and fear of pain? probably not. faith is not some gamble where you hedge your bets for the best possible outcome. you believe because you do,not cause you are scared.
3. my third and final point believe what you want you can construct an argument for or against anything i say, and those arguments can last longer than the days you have left on this planet. so, do what you want cause arguing over it will be fruitless.
