God also made Eve because Adam was lonely. And this raises question. Did God give Adam genitals before he created Eve? The sole purpose of them is to reproduce and for what reason would God give Adam the necessary parts if he wasn't originally planning on a mate?

The bible itself isn't really a religion. It's the interpretation that people make from it that becomes the religion. Think about it. How many different versions of Christianity alone are there that are all derived from the bible? And it's a long stretch to say there's no corruption involved considering the problems we've been having with the catholics.

And everyone beleives in this while they believe in that and we've all got our own beliefs but in the end they're just that. Beleifs. Not knowledge.

The Bible says "love thy neighbor." I see prophecy already taking place today. Look at our situation in the middle east with the Jews and Palestinians. The Bible tells us all the Jews will return to Israel and they will rebuild the temple. Well, the world isnt exactly pro-Israel and theyve already had talks of rebuilding the temple. Countries such as France are already running Jews out of there.

I read a bible that said "kill thy neibhor." Is that prophecy? Can't say man hasn't been naughty over the years.

Scientfically, the Bible could make sense if the events found in the Bible occured. As we've had this discussion before, the events basically would have had to occur in an unscientific manner, but afterwards you could apply scientific methods.

And that's something I don't get. There's plenty of scientific knowledge and facts that prove that the bible isn't possible. And that's fine because the belief in God and that God defies rational possibilities is quite present in the christian perspective. But if they believe so heavily in this being that can defy everything then why is it that they go to such lengths to explain how it's scientific and logical? Back in the day when I went to church the pastor blatantly called every other form of religion false and stated that god was a 100% scientific fact. But fact and faith do not work at all together. And if God is entirely faith then why do they go to the lengths to state it as fact? Pick one, research it and whatever the proof is, take it like a man. And if down the road things look differently, then compare notes and go from there.

There is so much proof of the existance for a God

There's actually no prove of God in specific what so ever. All links to God are strictly faith which holds no proof what so ever since the basis of faith is believing the in the impossible or irrational.

See number 2.
