Read this article about mythological creatures who predate Jesus. Notice how many of them share similarities with him. Coincidence? No, Christian authors stole these stories in the formation of their own mythology.

Much of the Bible has indeed been shown to be false.

None of this actually proves anything. There is no definitive proof that what you are saying is correct. At the same time, there is no definitive proof that what I am saying is correct.

The point still stands. No-one can FACTUALLY claim that there is anything false in the Bible.

But gerls, with over 10k different sectors of Xianity, which one is true? You Xians disprove the Bible yourselves when you can't even agree on what the book is saying.
Looks like "God" didn't make this book too easy for his followers to understand = God failed or this book is no more real than Harry Potter.

yeah, move along. I mean, I need something to work with.

All that I'm saying is that you don't ask for respect when you're being disrespectful yourself. It's not logical.

You're saying he's existed since the beginning of time. The Bible claims he's existed since before time itself even existed. There's a huge difference.

They both mean that God has always existed. stop being so technical.

Well, when there's little to no evidence for the book, it's a little bit hard to disprove most things said in it, I mean, you can't really disprove someone's imagination, can you?

No one is saying the world came from nothing, we don't claim to know how the world came to be what it is, but scientists are searching for answers, ever heard of the big bang theory? Yes, just a theory, like the Biblical version of the worlds exsistance is, however the big bang theory has thousands of pieces of evidence to help prove it correct, whereas the Bible has a total of 0...
Unlike Xians, we don't claim to know everything and how everything happened based off of a silly unprovable book written by old Arab homophobic sexist men, we can admit that we don't have all the answers and are still searching for them.

Untrue. There is no factual evidence for the Big Bang beyond the theory and the scientific discoveries which led to its derivation; no-one knows what happened all those years ago. At the same time, to say there is no proof for the Biblical version of the world's existence is equally untrue, as the Bible itself can be considered a first-hand piece of evidence.

It looks like you've already made you mind up. There's no point in debating with you then.

Trying to disprove the Bible or the idea of God is like trying to disprove that there exists an invisible pink unicorn somewhere in the universe. It's impossible, but the idea is certainly ludicrous.

I havent even requested respect. There's a difference between insulting the bible and insulting a member. The bible is not a living entity with feelings.

Who says it was someone's imagination? Who says the people who wrote it weren't first-hand eye witnesses to the events about which they wrote?

Did you just say that you can use the Bible to prove the Bible? Isn't that like using the Harry Potter series to prove that Harry Potter was real?

That certainly is the best retort when you can't think of anything substantial to reply with.

That's the point. That is why the book is so much more real than Harry Potter. It is spiritually and emotionally important to people, which is why they are willing to follow it until they die.

So...Lord of the rings is proof that Lord of the rings is a true story?

Not all of it, i just read some of it from when i used to go to church and in primary school, when we had religious education classes.

This is why I dont normally talk to Xians, circular reasoning makes me dizzy.

Not really. It's like saying you can use the Bayeux Tapestry for an account of the events that occurred at the Battle of Hastings.
