I am not one to shout, you cannot prove there is a god, so you fail. Your you cannon prove there isn't a god, so you fail. I like to take both sides of the argument and try to understand both. Both I will say easily have their flaws. Christianity seems to have lost a lot of it's values over the years, as there have been multiple translations of the bible, and a lot was lost in it. Atheist are usually stupid when having their arguments. They do not take into consideration of anything that theists point out, and are rather arrogant. My personal philosophy takes into both and tries to conjoin them. I tend to believe this is a god, but not in the way the Church, and others seem to believe. In fact, I don't think of god as a being at all. Most people will find my philosophy rather stupid. I will listen to your reasoning without a doubt, feel free to bash. Back to the subject, I tend to believe in God as not a being. But EVERYTHING. God, is a word that was invented to describe everything in the universe at once. That is why it is described as Omnicient, Omnipresent and Omnipotent. Since it is everything, it is everywhere. Since it is everything, therefore it must know everything. Since it is everything, it is as strong, as the strongest thing. Now the bible. I do not believe in the bible, like others believe it either. In my Philosophy, since God is everything, it also influenced the bible. Now, if God is classified as everything, it is also thoughts and ideas. Books are written based on thoughts and ideas. So therefore, God did directly influence the writing of the bible in the way it is written, but not by sending down a son. I do not believe in Jesus either, I do not believe he will return, or that he was ever existent in the first place. There are very few historical records that prove he existed, and the ones that are, cannot be proven to not be faked. I have not made up a name for my philosophy, and I doubt I will take the time to either. This is just my opinion and belief. I will not be mad if you bash at it, or if you argue against it. I will validly look at your ideas, and counter, or agree.
