Sheepy

@ lofhay - does the number '0' exist?

With your method of accepting proof lofhay, we would go about doubting existence and reality of nearly 99% of every moment of our lives and frankly thats just not really livable. Many people would claim the only thing you could every accept with that theory is ' it thinks, therefore it is.' And it ends there.

With The Bible, the most powerful proofs of it is not so much the evidence inside of it but the questions it raises.

1) Presuming the bible is all fantasy and false, why on earth would the people who helped contribute and publish it sacrifice their lives for it? They know it's bullshit so why waste such a great part of their lives devoted for it in constant persecution and danger? Lets say you made up the story of Santa for entertainment for your kids, you know its false, so then why would you then deny you did even at the face a terrible death? How did Jesus, born out of nowhere in one of the lowest classes manage to convince people in their thousands to the point they changed their whole lives to follow his teachings? Why did so many of his teachings involve being charitable Were did he come up with ideas so convincing and such a powerful philosophy that the whole western world would then decide to establish their whole foundations on it for thousands of years? Why did he die for them since he personally knew they were rubbish?

You get a mix of queer answers such as: He was insane/but really intellect/though really sinister/He was actually a dozen people in one/Discovered a secret mind control technique/ was really an alien/ put there from the future by American government to control the world/.



These are the types of questions that an inquiring mind would wonder.
