Actually, it's hilarious and disturbing at the same time that so many people are so easily lead on by a book of myths.
In the end, it's just a very sad tragedy of humanity.
So many? Not many. What is sad is that there are so few.

So, you actually prefer living a fantasy to reality? And you think more people should join you in your fantasies?
Uhh... but that's just the same writings I'm asking you about. Are you saying that as proof that the writings are the word of god, you will accept the writings themselves?Revelation... God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
I prefer reality to denial.

You've had direct communication from god I take it?Not quite. Read what I quoted...it states we have recieved the Spirit Who is from God that we might know...we come to know these things by direct communication from God to us.
You've had direct communication from god I take it?
I asked if you had direct communication with god.What does the Word of God tell you?
I asked if you had direct communication with god.
Oh, I get it. God did not tell me anything regarding your private communications with him.And I asked you, "what does the Word of God tell you?"
Oh, I get it. God did not tell me anything regarding your private communications with him.
I'm not asking for details. Just a sense of what it's like. Voices, impressions, visions, etc.Hint, hint.

What's it like?
Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.
Does this mean that you have no communications with god?
No voices, visions or even heartfelt impressions? That's what this seems to be saying.
Why is it that God cannot do his own executing? He has been known to do this before.
In the Old Testament you see God giving His own authority to kill another into the hands of flawed men who make mistakes all of the time. Why is this good?
How many innocents were destroyed because of this plan?
Everyone had done evil in the eyes of God including the Israelites so why where they commanded to destroy these particular people who where just as evil as them? There are none righteous, remember? How is a newborn baby, born of no fault of their own into one of these other people, more evil than any adult who lives in the nation of Israel?
Why were they commanded to kill even all of the women and children in some cases and in other cases commanded to spare only the female virgins for their own use as sex slaves? Was this the will of God? You have heard of the word "rape" before, right? Do you think that rape is blessed by God? I am sorry, but you are looking at only the things that you can explain away.
According to Jesus, the Law is still in force to this day! The Law has the death penalty throughout. Where does it ever say in the Bible that these death penalties have been removed for the unbeliever?
The only way I can do this is through self-deception and I am no longer willing to do that to myself.
You are not asking me to trust God. I can do that with or without the Bible. You are asking me to place my trust in a book that was written by flawed men. I have tested it and I have found it to be at least partially false. How much? I do not know.
Thanks!
*************God said the Bible was His Word. Good enough for me.
