As I mentioned before, I would be overjoyed to hang out with sky gods if they were real. I would also like to see werewolves, dragons, unicorns...you name it.
The fact that biblegod is invisible, and only manifests himself if you convince yourself he is real says more about the psychology of believers than it does about the reality of biblegod.
If ever sky gods, werewolves, dragons and unicorns become measurably real, I'd be happy to discuss the realities of such, and take your love balloon story under further consideration.
Well it appears you have convinced yourself that the prophecies of the Bible are all untrue. Yet, you could only do that if you worked at ignoring them. It all comes down to what you want to work at I suppose. The prophecies of the Bible are evidence that the one who authored the Bible knew about the future in detail, and as you know, only God knows the future. God may be invisible, yet His prophecies are not. And anyone who really wanted to know God, could consider Him by looking at the truth of those prophecies.

When the bible requires accepting a talking donkey and talking serpent, its credibility is immediately suspect. Upon further reading, the suspect nature is confirmed.

Well if my balloon story was in the Bible, you would of said the same thing, and you would be equally wrong. Sometimes I believe God puts stories in the Bible like that, so that non believers will have an excuse not to believe.
Do you believe donkeys or snakes can talk Campbell? How about this tale from the bible? True or false?
One of the more inspirational passages in the Bible tells the story of Elijah, a wise man, yet one cursed with male pattern baldness. One day he was minding his own business, making the long walk to Bethel, when he is attacked by a roving band of children who tease him with names like “bald head.” But Elijah was having none of this, he turns round and curses them in the name of the Lord, and instantly two female bears emerge from a nearby wood and maul all 42 children to death.
The moral of this story? Don’t make fun of bald people. Frankly, why this story isn’t included along with the Ten Commandments is anybody’s guess, but I think it would serve as an excellent lesson for children who think baldness is something to be made fun of.

Yes I believe God has the abilty to allow a donkey or a snake to talk, just like God had the ability to send me a balloon with words printed on it saying "I LOVE YOU". Just moments before that, I told Jesus I loved Him.
And if you do your homework, those were not 42 young children, they were 42 young men. And they were mocking Elijah. God did not allow the bears to maul them because of Elijahs baldness, He allow it, because indirectly, they were mocking God. The moral of the story is, if you do not respect God, your going to come out on the short end of the stick. Once someone I know thought it would be funny to put porn pictures over bible verses that I had on a calandar. Within two days that person had a break down, and had to spend a week in a mental ward. It can be very dangerous to mock God and His Word.

Even if I had no grasp of science, passages such as these make the bible even more ridiculous to accept as god-breathed:
Ezekiel 23:20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.
This reads like a poorly written, dimestore romance novel.
Children or young men....This story still shows what a vain, disgusting and evil creature your god is. I can only hope that I am right and he does not exist. Sorry mods, we seem to be way off topic here.

if you voted for the brown savior, isnt he a talking donkey. i dont know you, but, through the reading of some of your posts i would assume that you are at least accepting of a gay, pro choice life style. ive also noticed that you have a problem with the ark story. the irony is the fact that in that story god uses the rainbow as a sign that he would no longer punish man kind in the same fashion , and that if god says homosexuality is wrong , that homosexuals would use the same sign, maybe as a way to protect themselves from what doesnt exsist.

I didn't vote for Obama or McCain, as the two-party monopoly is a puppet show. I voted for 3rd party candidate Ralph Nader, though I would have been satisfied with Ron Paul or Bob Barr. Ralph Nader just happens to fit my social views a bit better.
I have no problem with the Ark Story when viewed as a chuckle-worthy work of fiction. I scoff when it's pushed as a supposed reality.
