god sure treated Abraham and Jacob pretty well. and they had like 4 wives each.
even appointed them his prophets to the jews.
it was Samuel 12 or something, god not only loved (whatever prophet he was talking to) so much and granted him 2 wives and 3 concubines, but went on in detail to grant him more.
and of course the bible contradicts itself a billion times. it was written by 1000 people that had basically no interaction with each other at all.
maybe your to use to your priest recycling that same newly written story over and over you forgot to study the actual word of god outside of a church.
there is a huge difference from god punishing someone, and the roman empire punishing someone. or the governor of the Jewish state punishing someone.
things in bible do not equal a quote from god.
I went back a few pages and saw this.
I have to say, the above statement is probably the most ignorant statement I have ever seen regarding the Bible.
god sure treated Abraham and Jacob pretty well. and they had like 4 wives each.

God did treat them well, but he didn't give them wives. They, of their own free will, went against God in getting themselves more than one wife, and God eventually punished them for it.
And by the way, Abraham and Jacob weren't prophets. Way to go trying to pass off these ignorant quips you heard on the internet as fact. I suggest you actually research your point before make it.
it was Samuel 12 or something, god not only loved (whatever prophet he was talking to) so much and granted him 2 wives and 3 concubines, but went on in detail to grant him more.
Nice, "Samuel 12 or something", I'm sure that's reliable research. I'm not even going to bother looking up whether the passage says anything about having concubines or not, because even if it did, the same logic applies as above. God didn't grant anyone multiple wives. They, of their own free will, sinned in getting themselves concubines, and God eventually punished them. By the way, the book of Samuel isn't about "some prophet", it's about the earliest kings of Israel, which once again proves your utter ignorance of what the Bible really says.
and of course the bible contradicts itself a billion times. it was written by 1000 people that had basically no interaction with each other at all.
It does not contradict itself once. Show me at least single contradiction before you make wild statements like that. Less than 45 people wrote it, not 1,000, and each were inspired by God to write the words they wrote, according to Christian doctrine. If you would like to argue against your own straw man some more, do it somewhere else, not here.
maybe your to use to your priest recycling that same newly written story over and over you forgot to study the actual word of god outside of a church.
That's funny you should say that, because if you look at every one of the arguments you've brought up, they are untrue generalizations, almost as if you are simply recycling what you've heard from your "lolatheist" friends on the intarweb, and never actually studied it yourself. Heh, funny how that works out.

Not really. One of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity is the concept of Providence, whereby God uses natural means to intervene in the world. The Bible specifically talks about God using the Assyrians to punish Israel. So, there is no difference, they are all "acts of God", miraculous or not.
lol
Books != evidence.
The boat would have to be bigger than anything made of wood could be.
lol
Biased Scientists Opinions != evidence
Besides the fact that plenty of wooden naval vessels have equaled or surpassed the measurements of the Ark according the Bible. You're obviously just pulling stuff out of your butt to make yourself seem credible.
um
My point is that he acts like there's evidence for the flood because there are books that explain how it could happen.
That's not evidence. Peer reviewed scientific studies are evidence.
Provide him with evidence for anything that is not Biblical creation and he dismisses it because modern science is an atheist conspiracy. It's a pathetic state of denial.
I said that there are books that provide theories, and archaeological studies have come up with plenty of evidence to back them up. Not that the books themselves are evidence. Way to go, straw man! That's like saying peer reviewed science journals are evide-oh wait. You really are that stupid? My books aren't evidence but your books are? Is anybody else seeing what an obvious double standard he has?
And, you still haven't provided me with one piece of evidence against Biblical Creation. So, yeah. Go on with your pathetic delusion here, I'll continue to be entertained.
I eagerly await your fuming and/or immature response. Oh wait, no I don't, I'm going to go get something to eat with my friends, never mind. Have fun on here!
