Matt Dillahunty responds to the claim that people need as much faith to NOT believe in god, as to believe in god. Credit: Atheist Experience www.atheist-experience.com 02/10/08 #539
I recently had some religious doorknockers and tey opened their bible and quoted me some passages. The “god” in their bible has another name – which leads me to the question – who wrote the original bible? Why do different religions have different versions? How do we know that the bible is not just another fairytale – like Cinderella (only much longer)?

THE BIBLE GIVES STRAIGHT TRUTH AND FACTS PLAIN AND CLEAR
Noah born year 1056, Age 600 at Flood year 1656, had 350 yrs life, Gen.9: 28,29; to year 2006. Shem has 502 years life after flood, yr 2158. Gen.11:10;
Genesis 11: 10 [Says 2], 12 [says 35], 14 [says 30], 16 [ says 34], 18 [ says 30], 20 [ says 32 ]; 22 [ says 30], 24 [says 29].
So, 2 + 35 + 30 + 34 + 30 + 32 + 30 + 29 = 222 years after flood, Terah born.

JOSEPH DIES AT THE END OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS IN TRUTH & FACT.
CAN YOU GET THIS FROM GENESIS IN ALL BIBLES THAT YOU TRY?
BEING THERE WOULD YOU HAVE PASSED YOUR INFO DOWN AS ABOVE?
If you’re refering to Catholic Bible:
the bible’s author is not actually one. Bible is actually a compilation of books made by saints, apostles, prophets,etc.
these authors were actually guided by the hands of the holy spirit.
the compiler of books was i think is the former vatican council, likewise, the compiler is said to have been guided by the Holy Spirit. the holy spirit helped in arranging the books, and which books were not to be included.
another version is:
Bible(whichever religion) is just a great story created by a man who is very intelligent, witty, and had brainwashed the people for the past two milleniums.
The bible was written over a 1500 year period, by 40 authors on three different continents in 3 different languages and yet it is in complete harmony with no contradictions because it was inspired by one mind.
People who were inspired by God. We can be sure that it is true because some of the things written long ago are happening just as the Bible said they would e.g. the Bible says that children will go against their parents and isn’t that happening?
Look most people fear death and are frightened of not existing “Blink” nothing aaarrrg help me. The Bible gives hopes to those with fears and helps those that wish not to face reality. All the bible asks is to have faith and be obedient to this God they mention and you will be rewarded with Immortality in far away land called heaven.
Escaping Death is a pretty strong determiner for some.
For others it’s the propaganda they have heard all their life and merely accept it as truth.
Tooth fairy
Santa
The Easter Bunny
God
Does the list sound similar to many things children are brought up to believe are real.
Men wrote the Bible.
