you know it's useless to ask something like this to any god believing person... the only thing every christian seems to be good at (i say every, because each person of course would have their good/bad things that tehy do well/bad) is making excuses when a MAJOR (not talking about shit like in this book it says he was on the right but in this one it says the left, we're talking about major contradictions that change everything) flaw in their book is pointed out... i've tried to corner them numerous times here and lots of other places, and every time i have something "so good there's no way they'll find their way out of it" they immediately spout off some excuse, i think at this point they're more afraid to admit we (atheist, agnostics, non believers, and believers of rival religions) have been right all along more than it is that they think they're right....but i can see christianity (along with religions in generally) is slowly dying off, because as we grow smarter and smarter, back in the day people were so scared of god they'd do anything someone told htem to do, just to not piss him off... and as you can see, it's not like that anymore...may not be in this lifetime or the next, but i have a feeling eventually we will find absolutely air-tight solid proof that a god or gods never did exist.
