    I have no doubt that the world we see is a reflection of some kind of larger reality. But a reflection of a thinking God that answers our prayers, gets angry at individual people, and beams his son down to Earth in human form to be gruesomely murdered? You lost me there.

    • no you lost yourself when you so narrowly define God as a story book sort of character.KwesiJ
    • you're trivialising the 'higher reality' as something that can't be this so called God...when it should be acknowledged as that which is most like God, God.KwesiJ
    • ...that which is most like God, so logically as God itself, the REAL God.KwesiJ
    • I'm trivializing it? I think the Bible and organized religion are doing that.ukit
    • no you're trivialism religion and history and many people's knoweldge and ideas.KwesiJ
    • If you want to call whatever is at the root of reality God, fine, so be it.ukit
    • And i don't mean to trivialise what you're saying but you're trivialising for the sake of upholding staunch atheismKwesiJ
    • But do you agree or disagree with the literal interpretation of the Bible? That's kind of what we're arguing here.ukit
    • no i disagree with the literal interpretation of the bible but thats not to say it holds some hefty weight historically and intellectually.KwesiJ
    • there's lots philosophy and early forms of history writing in it, its facinating really.KwesiJ
    • but the discussion around God should have some real persepective beyond the BIble itself just like its always been. Aristotle didn't have the Bible.KwesiJ
    • Aristotle didn't have a Bible.KwesiJ
