earlier today, i was debating with another cber about the bible. she seemed to believe that jesus walked the earth, but she doesn't believe in god, nor any of the historical stories in the bible, such as the flood that god sent to rid the world of all evil.
i believe in god, as well as the stories in the bible. i just think that over the many years people have made the stories into fairytales. perhaps they overdid it on the describing details by using dramatic hyperboles. people are the ones that leave us wondering about our faith, not god. i believe that they all happened the original way that god planned them, but there isn't very much proof anymore because of people. although, god could also be testing our faithfulnes toward him being in control. what do you think? |

QUOTE(Mulder @ Apr 22 2007, 5:52 PM)  ??? What exactly are you confused about? As for the "atheist emo kid fad" comment, I really hope that people are not becoming atheist to be cool. I happen to be an atheist as well, so that just makes me frown. |
