Hello and welcome to ATS. Your soul knows there is a creator and this is true. The prime creator. Unfortunately , the book you live by is merely footnotes. In your blindness you will not see , in this incarnation. Doesnt your soul tell you there is something more? Try not to judge others here ok? Respect each soul in its progression.

heheh is he, or she, or it, or what ever you might call thee, lets use he for this one shall we, why is he why do you say he is, why do you think he is, why dont you think shaitan is not, why do you think evil is evil, why do you think good is good, is it because you live in a world full of fear, hate, and crime, is it because you are afraid in the night when you know that you might die every second of your life, why is that that its always god the savior, and not shaitan, who says that god is not evil and shaitan is good, who makes those laws where you there, was the church there was the pope there, they where not its all written text by humans, humans and their evil and good, their poor judgment of things, and because of their poor judgement they made god up to justify their wrong doings, so whos evil now actually it looks to me that god is that jezus is, they lie they cheat they let you suffer, they let you die, atleast shaitan tells the truth or perhaps its all just 1 of 2 things, heh oh you forgot while i was writing that its all human made copyright human stuff, all for the power to take people on their knees and let them pray while their little sister is dying their brother is dying of cancer but ooh god and jezus is the savior he helps and lets blame the cancer on shaitan, again here you see the thing that its all made up the bible god jezus and the hole gang, all to satisfy our wrong thinking doing and way of live, its simple as that.... so again its not the question if jezus and god is bad and if shaitan is evil its more the question if you are not bad or good or both because you are in control over all of these things not god not jezus and not shaitan....
Sure, I know the Bible is a book that was written and EDITED heavily by men..
.
but I also know that beyond the written word there is a God and through that God I find my salvation
Was Jesus divine...? I believe he was. Is the Bible flawed, I guarantee it.

Several works exist. Hermitage Day, Williams Edwards "On the Physical Death of Jesus Christ" in the Journal of the American Medical Association" 255:11 march 21, 1986.
Houghton is cited in Frederick Charles's book Commentary on the Holy Bible.
Sammuel Houghton was a medical doctor and a legendary physiologist from the University of Dublin.
So hopefully this answers your concerns.
Typed the guy's name in to google and got a bunch of links to a 5 year old inventor (?) It's okay though; I'm not reading an entire book to see if water can be gotten from blood. It should be easily verifiable through medical sources. I can't find any. But don't worry about it. Because FOR REAL this time; I'm out of this.
You acknowledge that you believe Christ to be fictional (though science has proven his existence),
No. The bible is a man-written text, so one has to look at it as more of a recorded history, vice an all-knowing transcription of EVERYTHING. The men who wrote their parts did so in a manner in which they knew and were comfortable with. Such as NOAH's flood...easily translated by science into the flooding of the Black Sea.
Those are the flaws I am referring to.
ind that to knock someone's belief is as futile as attempting to unlearn speech.

Why is this in the introductions??? ~ oh yeah!
I think David Koresh claimed to be the messiah (he wasn't he was a very naughty boy) and there are mental homes and hospitals across the world with many messiahs.
As for the bible and fireworks - good call, I tend to use matches, but now that you mention it.
You can put me on your foe list too.
Indeed, there are a lot of messiah´s out there and some of them are even funnier...
Why do you bother trying to present a case as factual when it doesn't matter to you whether it is or is not ? Your going to believe it anyway so there's no need to bother trying to persuade others that what you believe has any place in reality.

Amen! (trying to keep in the spirit of things here.)
