Quote by: Chimera Well who else would decide who's right about the Bible besides the person that judges whether or not you go to heaven? It doesn't require an explanation or evidence. It's common sense. Use critical thinking.

I didn't ask who decided which interpretation was right, I asked WHO gave YOU the right to REinterpret the bible?? There are currently over 30,000 different interpretations...WHO gave Christians the right to change the meaning of the bible so many times?? Provide biblical support that this was an option.

1. Speaking of the two as mutually exclusive, Science CANNOT provide valid evidence to disprove God and Christianity can't provide valid evidence to prove God. How are they not equal? 2. If the world's greatest atheist scientist can't disprove the existence of God, how do you expect the world's greatest religious scientist? 3. Science and religion are not mutually exclusive.

Luckily, one does not have to disprove that which has never been proven to begin with. Science wins. It can provide evidence for its conclusions. Religion can not. Simple as that.

In your opinion, many disagree.

Now you're saying that the bible was NOT meant to be historicly accurate?? Please. christians constantly point out the historical accuracy of the bible to support it as factual.

1. As I said, the Bible is a book of spiritual truth, of course it's quoted. Matthew used the situations to compare to the coming of Christ. I'm sorry but that's far from anything you're trying to prove.In Hebrews you have examples of faith ALL used to make a point. Every example you've provided are all used as exactly how I said to take the Bible. A book of spiritual truth.

The prophets took the bible literaly. Why is it that YOU shouldn't?? You have yet to provide any real support that it should be otherwise.

There is absolutely nothing in the Bible that says "Take all of this literally". It doesn't exist. By the very fact that it is NOT there, I am free to interpret it as I will because I am given free will.

And there it is, one of the weakest arguments in history. Easily parried with the fact that NOWHERE in the bible does it say NOT to take it literaly!! And yet it's full of examples from Jesus and the prophets that DID take it literaly.

You're falling back. Answer my Shakespeare question.

What utter nonsence. I didn't answer the Shakespeare question because its idiotic. But if you insist.

You want to compare the interpretations of fictional plays (Shakespeare), to the bible (a book of truth)?!?!? Ok, well, if you concede that the bible is nothing but a creation of fiction, I will concede that you are free to reinterpret it any way you choose.

Or answer all of my questions. You're ignoring so many parts of my post it's not even funny.

I only omitted the statements that were rebutals to quotes not made by me.

By your words, they could potentially have atheist followers, or other religious followers as well.Without the followers being exclusively Christian, your point is moot, due to the fat that it applies across a broad spectrum of belief systems.

Let's examine that. My point was that there are christians living today that adhere to flat-earth, young-earth or geo-centicism. Just because those organisations MAY have followers of differing beliefs does not invalidate MY claim that there are SOME christians TODAY that hold those beliefs. My point stands solid.

Well, as one supporting science so, it's contradictory to say that considering that the scientific method should test EVERYTHING and assume NOTHING. So does God, your argument is dumb.

You can't expect the argument; "I can do this 'cause it doesn't say I CANT" to be taken seriously. I respond with the fact that it doesn't say you can AND provide evidence. How is that contradictory to the scientific method? Im providing EVIDENCE for my conclusion, while you're just stomping your feet. You need to abandon the childish "It doesn't say I can't" arguments.
