Religion, God, The Bible, Higher Powers Options

[OriskybusinessO]

I have a question for all of you believers out there...

If there are so many different reilgions, then how do you know which is true (please dont answer with 'faith')? If there were some 'higher-power' that everybody knew was true why wouldnt the whole world become that religion, or believe in them?

I think that the whole Bible, God, Higher Power deal is fake. There was once this man who traveled to Africa (around the 1400's before any European had ever been there) and wrote a book about how there are people there that had faces in there chests, necks 5 feet tall, etc. Everybody believed it. How do you know the Bible deal isnt like this? I am pretty sure there is no proof that this stuff is real... so please explain it to me. And don't say faith because some people who dont believe, or have 'faith', dont think that there is a higher power and it is just a bunch of... fake stuff.

1-If you believed that God could save you, doesnt that mean that you believe God exists? And also, its not believing in God that saves you. Its accepting his forgiveness.

2-The aramaic version can be translated im many ways, as simply killing for survival, or murdering for pleasure, etc, its just a matter of how you choose to interpret it. I choose to interpret it as murder, rather than plain killing, because it seems logical that you should be able to defend yourself if worst came to worst.

3-I have never heard of that before. But if it is true you could be very right. However, I dont think that all missionaries evangalise for that reason. The original reason for evangalism is Jesus' great commission.

Well, thats just how I feel about those things. Its my understanding. I dont think that I know all the answers, but after all, this is the debate forum, so Im doing just that, debating. No hard feelings or anything.
