While I believe that the Bible does predict future events, I don't think that the Bible Codes are actually put in there for people to find. There are codes in the Bible, but it's a matter of putting 2 and 2 together, not deciphering hidden encrypted text.

You know I hate to be one to burst any bubbles but it is also a good thing to be vigilant and know the truth about anything.
To put belief in something that is dubious is simply to be mislead.

I also try to debunk the existence of god, not because I want to prove there is no god, but because I want to believe in god and know I am right in my belief. (so far gods existence is doubtful IMO)
I refuse to believe in fairy tales. But am open minded about good theories and possibilities.

and people like Christians or whoever stubbornly refuse to change their beliefs accordingly or are just plain not open minded about the whole deal, well, that would make that person a believer of false Christianity.
The bible to them is the infallable word of god and is correct and it gives them comfort to wallow in a sea of falsehoods.
Ignorance truly is bliss, I could use a good dose of Ignorance, but my inquisitive mind wont allow that
