So. Cal
When the creator is described in books where men walk on water, live inside whales and/or prophets go to heaven flying on winged horses, should people not be skeptical of the authenticity of the writers and what they actually know about such a being (or beings)?

Do you believe in winged horses that fly to heaven my friend?
Do you believe in 30 foot lizards? This world was fool of crazy things. Just decause you haven't seen it doesn't mean ot doesnt exists

I think you're missing the morals, friend. I don't believe the boy who cried wolf was eaten by a wolf but I get what the author was saying.


Fair enough. Plenty of good morals and messages in all faiths of the world and holy books. I have no issue with religious people who interpret their religion to be kind and open minded people, I just have a problem with those that interpret it in a way that I feel conflicts with my view of the world and human progress.

i thought there was a pretty good mix of people with differing views. some atheists do feel a need to attack certain religions. i guess it all depends on your pov. i could ask the same question about bible thumpers and xtian trolls.

But that would assume that god talks to people at all. We don't even know if that is possible. There hasn't been any tangible proof of something like that occurring.

But there are bones, fossil imprints, and we can trace the evolution of certain animals to realize that creatures like that have existed (I'm assuming you were talking about Dinosaurs). That is something tangible is it not?

he went to a desert in the middle of no where, and introduced himself to the jews, meanwhile the majority of the human population was most dense in Asia. :heh:

Would be like trying to give a message to Americans, and using a bullhorn in Alaska.

I agree but we hear from Christians all the time saying how god speaks to them

Why are you a mere mortal trying to understand the workings of an immortal?
Such level of blasphemy is uncalled for.
