Not if it's read properly....People like you just cherry pick the stuff in it you like, or agree with, and ignore the atrocities, such as baby killing, genocide, slavery etc. It is a collection of horrible stories which I'm happy to say, most of them are just made up.
Here we go again...no, no one has a 'right' to encroach on someone else's private property to attempt to deliver a 'message' about whatever it is they are trying to sell (be it a Fuller brush or some kind of religion), to disturb a property owner at whatever he/she may be doing at the time (sleeping, eating, bathing, on the crapper, or just wanting a little peace and quiet).
It is presumptuous, and it is RUDE.
The POLITE default is mind your own business, stay off their property and for crying out loud, don't be banging on their doors and ringing their phones because you want to 'share' your 'story'.
You can stand on the street corner and hold a sign, but your right to free speech ends at the private property line.
Because God is in its infancy and like a newborn human, has potential - but is some time and growth away from recognizing and realizing that potential.
If everything in the universe - given time and beneficial circumstance - evolves, why not God?
Surely there are many claims that can be made without first-hand knowledge. I have never seen Iceland but I am fairly certain Iceland exists. Why? Because I know people who have gone there and I trust them.
The problem is that nobody in human history has ever seen any God. And there is no verifiable evidence that Jesus or anyone else had anything to do with a God.
There is also no evidence that any of the 100 billion+ humans that have lived and died ever came back to life or went to heaven.
All of it is simply based on belief and assertions.
Ok if you are going to go that route then we are nothing more than compost heap and worm food, just all random and meaningless huh? Thankfully most people see a newborn as a gift from God. All life is precious, not worthless sacks of meat and bone.
Honestly, jeff, you're not actually suggesting that every one of the billions of Christians who have ever lived had God guiding the sperm of His choice into the egg? OMG, you ARE suggesting that!
Nonsense. We study all of it. Have you ever tried to find out the reasons God did/allowed those things? What was the reason for the Great Flood?
Because people were sinful. So God killed everyone save 8 people, apparently unaware that future people would be just as sinful, even though He is all-knowing. Later, God "so loved the world" that he sent Jesus, but not during the time of Noah. In the time of Noah, God "so loved the world" so much that he drowned everyone, even innocent children. It is His way of demonstrating how precious all life is.
