I can ignore anything that I want, just like you do. It takes a really simple thinker (such as you) to believe everything you are told in a fairy tale novel and not to really think about it. You have been constantly confronted with facts disputing your allegations, yet you ignore them because you think you are god and know best for everyone. What conceit, linked with being naive to the same degree as people 2000 years ago and just believing what you are told.

Your act is really getting old and, what is worse, pathetic.

And the Mayans put their prophecies on a Calander with exact dates, not random open ended phrases like, when the east can raise an army of 200 million

If u only have ur one god and he talks to the chosen people or jesus or whatever u beleive, what was he doing talking to the mayans?? cuz obviously prohecies could only have come from the mouth of god right???
Jesus speaks to people who seek Him, and it does not matter where they are. In Islamic countries where the Christian faith is banned, Islamics are telling us that Jesus Christ is appearing to them in their dreams, and He is telling them to follow Him. Thousands of Islamics are coming to Christ because of these dreams. Jesus chosen people are not seperated by the boundries of men. God can reach His people who seek Him reguardless of mans attempts to stop His Gospel. You say the prophecies of the Bible are vague. Can you share with us which prophecies in the Bible you base that claim on?

Also the Bible tells us these events would occur in the day when the nations of the east had the ability to raise up an army of 200 million men. These are facts that the Bible stated. Now maybe you don't want to believe those facts, yet they are written down for all to see, and can only be denied by blind faith non thinking people. Since I can read, and since I am not into denial, I have just stated what is clearly written down. Only the delusional would deny what is clearly stated.
Once again, you are trying to apply your standards to something to make it fit with your preconceived delusions. Blind faith makes you want these things so badly you falsify reality to make it fit your wants. The bible tells you nothing...it is a static piece of fiction with a very few coincidences that you try to make your life out of.

I said it before, if your god came to talk face to face with you and told you that you had it wrong, you would deny it because the bible, in your opinion is the answer to everything.

What facts have I been confrounted with? I have pointed out Biblical facts, and historical discoveries that confirm those facts. Your posts are filled with empty accusations, and no content.
PLEASE, could you show me what post you have confronted me with facts that dispute my allegations?

Predos, what reality have I falsified? I can show you written personal accounts that will back up my statements. Outside of you empty accusations, do you offer us any proof to suggest that my statements are based on false information? It is pretty obvious to me, you know very little about the Bible. And it does not appear you belief is based on any knowledge of the subject. And I believe that is why you come here with little or no content to support your belief. You say the Bible is fiction, yet if that is the case, why are they finding that historical discovery is confirming it as true? Can you answer that question?

Well you see sanspeur, what bothers me, is what you think of the truth. If the Bible offers us truth, you do not what to believe that because that truth is found in the Bible. And your whole life appears to be slanted against any belief in the Bible. Even if historical discovery states, that the Biblical account is true. You refuse to believe it, because it is expressed in the Bible. And now the only reason you want to know what I think, is so you don't have to consider the truth found in the Bible. I have discovered the truth of the Bible, because I used my own mind. It appears you have shut that part of your mind off, and have closed that door. Especially when it comes to Biblical considerations. What is it about that Book, that makes you slam the door to Biblical considerations?

On the contrary Campbell, I do realize that there are some things in the bible that are true, including some history, but unlike you I am capable of discerning between fact and fiction. There are other things in that book that could be true, but can't be verified, then there are the allegories, outright fantasies, and myths which I dismiss, but you accept without question.

When I get information I analyze it and attempt to confirm it, but you just accept it as truth, no matter how impossible. More than that, you manage to twist many of the verses, even some that are plainly written to suit your pessimist theory of prophesies. The bible was never intended to be a book of literal truths, but more as a guide and set of rules, sometimes using examples and metaphors.

In any case the bible is sadly outdated as any kind of guide in today's world.

You believe in evolution which no one in history can back up. So it's a fairy tale from modern scientists. Atheists ask us to prove the bible is true all the while closing their ears and eyes when we prove the truth to them. That's like someone with his eyes closed asking us to prove the world is round. But then atheists never were that logical.

Um - what would be wrong with that?
Is the person with eyes closed very stupid? If not, they could easily understand the concept with just a verbal explanation.
