"Since everything in the bible can be shot down with reason"
I don't think this is a true statement
(I’ll talk about that statement now)
Because if one can believe something he/she cannot prove, like believing in their own personal deity outside of the bible, or even within the bible, then one can JUST as well stay or become one of JW since the truth doesn’t matter then. It then just comes down to your own personal preference.
As regards to the statement above let me add that all the Logical aspects can be shot down
- History shows that people’s age increases not decreases as it is said in the bible (or derived from)
- The great flood. How did Noah get the Kangaroo’s and polar bears (from other countries) in there? and even if he did, You want to tell me that from EVERY ONE that saw all these animals walking side by side into an ark, NO one thought by themselves.. Oh crap... yea maybe that’s not normal, let’s get on. (So i call fake)
- For me to have everlasting life was just a matter of chance in which era i was born... if i was born in Moses's time i would get stoned if i disobeyed my parents. Now i can be forgiven, not once but 7 but 7 times 77 times, oh what luck for me, that i wasn’t born when god wasn’t on a hateful rampage.
- Why isn’t god doing anything to the circumstances of today? "Oh yea the bet between god and Satan" Well.... Didn’t Satan lose in Lots time.... oh yea... god proved Satan was wrong... sooooo... why is the bet still on?
-Why did Adam and eve realize they were naked? Was there something wrong with being naked?? Did the all-powerful god create humans with the idea that to be naked is bad, and then just hid it form them till they ate form the tree? (I call bullshit)
-If god tells me to not paint my face red, and someone else paints my face red while i sleep (so i don’t allow it, nor do i know it’s happening) HOW could god hold me responsible for something i did not do -- Relate that to the story of Simpson whose hair was cut off
- How could Jesus have told Judas that he would betray him? Didn’t Jesus in effect take Judas's Free will away?
Well, just a few of the gun shots at Christendom.
Always wondered why people neeeeed to believe something... regardless of how true or valid something is.
