Oh loving well, I believe in what I do because I am an intelligent person who can come to a conclusion by himself, I disbelieved Christianity before I knew inv3rted existed. That's probably more than I can say about you and your christian bullstuff. I can and will continue to participate in this debate. I'm not going to say it's a free country because I hate that crap, but the internet is free domain within the rules of the provider of the web page. I have tons of information at my disposal via the internet, so we're literally on equal grounds in terms of knowledge.
I am sorry for raging but you piss me off, Rughugger.

Poor baby. A lot of people will piss you off in your life. Deal with it.
Your belief is based on a lack of information so you truly do not understand both sides of the story. Inv3rted does. Intelligence comes from researching tings, even those things you don't like in order to come up with a valid point to your argument. My Christian knowledge comes from the source, so I know what I talk about. You do not. Plain and simple. I wasn't being mean or cruel to you, you just don't have a right to dismiss and bash what you do not know anything about. A lot of things you will find on the internet is fueled with propaganda and hearsay. And I can only gather that the only sites you would look up is that of Atheists, who themselves have been guilty of numerous over exaggerations and fault finding of Christianity just to make a weak point and push what they think onto other people. There have been many scientific searches into the history of the bible and it's stories and found a few examples that were true and real. If you do proper research, you'll find this and can truly make a valid argument for your case.
tl;dr version. Go do some research and not just on Atheist sites. Understand both sides and you can make a valid argument. So my statement still stands. Do not argue about things that you never cared to inform yourself about.

These debates are always funny. Which is the most reliable source? Well what the forget do you guys think Science is? (I only read the thread title btw)
For anything to be accepted by scientific community it needs to be repeatable, hence "reliable". I expect that my lamp should turn on when I flick the switch, lo' and behold it turns on. I could pray to the lamp for a while and, given outside influences are allowed, it might turn on. Maybe a piece of the ceiling will fall down and hit the switch or something, unlikely but it could happen. Which would automatically mean GODLY INTERVENTIONS!!
This falls back on the Bible's stories too. Are any of them repeatable? Can you actively prove anything that's written in the bible through any sort of documented procedure? No? Well then I guess it remains unexplainable and therefore quite limited in reliability. How can you rely on something you along with everyone else cannot hope to understand?
Ronin:
You do realize the Papacy censored much of the early books and then assembled the Bible we know today right?
We may never know the full picture of the religion, it's an interesting thought.
Inv3rted:
We don't even know if Jesus existed. Kind of important for a religion.
