God also needs money. Seriously, what's the deal with all the donations people have to make in church?

proof God doesn't existLiving things are made of cells. God is notLiving things obtain and use energy. God does notLiving things grow and develop. God does notLiving things reproduce. God does notLiving things respond to their environment. God does not Living things adapt to their environment. God does notCase closed.
Ok stupid, God isn't classified with humans or earthly organisams...God is supernatural, he isn't human, he doesn't breath oxygen, he doesn't need to eat...very stupid "proof" lol. Great logic man.

IGNORANCE BIG BANG DUST GOD HIGHER POWER KORAN EXISTANCE PROOF DONATIONS MINISTERS CHURCH BRAINWASHINGFor all those that didn't actually read the thread, I just saved you a bunch of reading and headaches from one of the dumbest arguments to ever see hypertext transfer protocol.
I read the first two pages of this post and stopped beacuse it would take too much time to read them all. So my apologies if I repeat anything that is said.There are a lot of misconceptions about the Bible. People question its meaning and deem the events impossible. HOWEVER, the Bible is not MEANT to be taken word for word. It is a group of inspirational stories to inspire people to do great things. Such as Moses. Moses probably didnt lead 100,000 people out of egypt, speak to God, was given the Ten Commandments and parted the Red Sea. But in reading this, it is meant to inspire people, who think they are small, to do big things. Any Christian priest will tell you that it wasnt meant to be taken word for word. Even if you dont believe in God, I think if you look at the Bible as inspirational stories, it will catch the eye of pretty much anyone.
There are historical events in the bible that can be proven in real history and archaeology. Theres billions of Muslims, Jews and Christians who belive pretty much in the same thing(yes, we all do believe in same thing....thats for another discussion) Billions of people arent being fooled. Why is that most anti religious people live terrible lifes and when its all set and done, has a depressing life. Religion is real, God is real and you better believe cause the end is soon.....real talk.

I believe CHRISTIANS all believe in the same thing and should not be separated into Catholics, Presbyterians, Othodox etc. etc. P.S. What a depressing ending to your post.
