Object: The Bible myth
I keep seeing people quoting from the Bible as though it was proof or a
fact.
There is NO objective evidence that any of the Bibles are the word of
ANY God.
There are no originals still in existence. They are all copies with
alterations, additions and deletions to suite the transcribers. Remember the
printing press was not even invented until the 5 Th. Century and the Bibles
date back over 4,000 years.
Here is a list of ENGLISH translations of the Bible. Which are the correct
ones? And were the copies they translated from accurate translations of the
originals?
The evidence is that these Bibles, written by over forty men over a period
of some 2500 years are nothing but a combination of history, myths, folklore
and legends. There is NO
objective evidence that they are accurate history or the words of any God.

Plus all the old scriptures that weren't included in the bible.
Gospel of Thomas - Excluded because Jesus tells the disciples that after his
death, they are to go to James the Righteous, as he will be their leader.
Gospel of Philip - Excluded, because it says Mary Magdalene was the
companion (mate, wife) of Jesus.
Gospel of Peter - Excluded because it tell us Mary Magdalene was a disciple.
Gospel of Mary - Excluded becasue it tells us that Jesus loved Mary
Magdalene more than the other women. Has her teaching the disciples of
things Jesus had told only her.
And on and on and on.

There is a reason that these "gospels" are not part of the Cannon. If
you don't know what that word means you shouldn't be posting about what
should or should not be in the Bible.
The so called gospels that are under lock and key in the Vatican are
not consistent with the other books of the Bible. That is why they are
not inculded. Yes, they contain signifigant contradictions, any other
document that wasn't the Bible, people would praise a group for keeping
something contradictory out of the grouping. Look at it this way, the
Gospels in the Bible all line up, so why would we question them. If you
had 10 eye witnesses... and all but 4 had signifigantly different
stories, but 4 of them got all the details the same, why wouldn't you
say the other 6 are wrong and the 4 who line up are probably correct.
Why do people always throw logic out the window when they are talking
about the Bible?

There's a big difference between a letter (epistle) and a Gospel (the
story of Christ's life and teachings)
An epistle was intended by the writer to be a message to an individual
or group some distance away. It was not intended to be scripture at
the time it was written. A Gospel was intended to recount Christ's
life and teachings. It was intended as scripture when it was written,
at least for the sect for whom it was inscribed, so that they could
keep their theology straight.

Really? Go to the library and check out some books that cover old world
history from 300 BC to 300 AD. You may be surprised to find that a man
named Jesus was born in Bethlehem and lived for 33 years on this earth and
preached the word of God and had a number of followers and performed several
"feats of magic" such as changing water to wine and mysteriously healing
lepors and he was finally crucified on a cross for his "sin" of blasphemy
and buried in a cave.
Go find the info, it's there.

The story of Jesus was taken from a number of older cultures than
Israel/Jewish culture. Even the story as told in the KJV states that
Jesus missed the census so would not be in Roman records. There are many
questions about the supposed time of his birth because of the errors in
the bible's records of the time.
The Romans kept very good records yet the stories of this particular
jesus come from christians/jews 70 years after his death.

the exsistance of Jesus or his execution isnt really contested by
scholars that i have seen, Professor Elaine Pagels of Princeton doesnt
and that is good enough for me. What is odd is the bibles treatment of
Pilate. He is portrayed as trying to be fair but having his hands tied
by the Jews. This does not jive with the historical record as Pilate
was returned to Rome for being to unnecessarily hard on the Jews and
causing problems.

What scholars say never is good enough. Theists do not have the burden of
proving that they are theists, neither do they cease being theists if their
statements are not understood. They do have the burden, like everyone else, of
backing up their statements with evidence, and if the evidence is lacking, it
means that the theist lacks the evidence, not that those he is addressing lack
evidence of or belief in theism. Thus atheism is really only applicable to a
theist, because only one who knows and believes the claims of theism can tell
what a-theism or non-theism is. The same could be said of agnostics in relation
to gnosis. Atheists are really disaffected gnostics, but because they can't
come up with a catchy phrase like agnosis, ( which is ridiculous ), they've
thought up atheism, which sounds like a belief but really isn't; this describes
accurately what they resent about gnosis. Briefly, they wish to be organized
like a religion in order to fight religion, but lack the vocabulary to do so.
Therefore, the word "atheist" really only describes a particular point of view
of theists which indicates their ignorance of the evidence of theism, not
theists themselves.

We don't. However no one has produced them.
Oddly enough people *have* produced records of other Messiahs from the era.
Rome killed them and all their followers, yet the bible only says Jesus was
killed.
If he existed he was not important enough as a messiah to warrant killing
the followers, something Rome always did.
This has led to the idea that his bit of lunacy in the temple foreground was
the reason he was executed.
But again, there is no evidence he did exist outside the four gospels.

As the comic, of Jesus being crucified and two bystanders commenting,
"He couldn't have been important, they didn't kill any of his
followers." How sharp would it be to teach that the two thieves
crucified next to him were members of his organization.

This has led to the idea that his bit of lunacy in the temple foreground was

The sources *do* exist... to those who believe. When you close your
eyes real tight at night and pray real hard, God enters your heart and
shows them to you. In fact, he takes you on a virtual tour of his
secret library.

He can even show you the *fifteenth* Harry Potter novel.

*Sigh*

Whew! Almost had me going there for a sec :)

Hey! Most of these books are just hollowed-out hiding places for
whiskey flasks!
God does have a complete set of Penthouse Magazine, though.

I've never "lubbed up" before. I've *been* in lub, though. Does that
