[K3k0m@n]

i just want to barf my opinion on here: I don't really pay attention nor care about what people believe in terms of god or similar, so much that I'm very uneducated on the subject. in general however, no. I don't believe that a single being has created and is managing this entire universe. I wouldn't doubt that someone tried to come up with a theory about how everything was created by imagining that a single being had done it all. there's too many unanswered questions: does god exist? who wrote the bible? where's the proof that god ever existed? all of these questions really make me believe that it's all made up. I mean, the person who wrote the bible must've witnessed all of this happening right? how would there be a 'narrator' on all that's happened in the bible? it's all confusing to me and in general I usually keep quiet since I'm uneducated on religion, but hey, it feels good to just dump your opinion on the internet right?

That must be when furries, gender discomfort, and loveually explicit fanfictions became big, and he was just like, "I've done what I can but they're too far gone. I already promised after the flood that I wouldn't destroy the earth again so I'll just leave them to fester and destroy themselves."

And it only gets worse.

I want a second flood asap

The Bible is a collection of different books and mstar fishcripts written at different times in history, and it includes books from both B.C. and A.D. eras by different authors. I'll link you to a Wikipedia page with claims about the dates and authors of the books of the bible, although I may search for primary or other secondary sources later and put links to them in the OP.

Update:
I've added a couple additional links in my second post on the first page and I added an additional link in the OP.
I've also added a poll for denominational preference, and I kept it to the three major denominational categories to exclude the possibility of scattered answers.

Here are the results from the last poll:

Oh, I didn't know we had any Orthodox Christians here.  Who is that?

what's the basis for genesis and whatnot? how could man know how the world was created?

The only actual way to view the book of genesis is through metaphor glasses. If you look at it in a literal basis then it factually falls apart at the seams. I'm not sure if this is just because of repeated mistranslations or if it was actually written that way originally, but we don't even know who the original author/authors were, or as far as I know, any story as to its inception like we have for some of the later books.
