Just something you wrote in one of your posts.
The Bible remains the number one best seller of all time in the United States.
It seems too convenient that you always seem to forget what you posted. Almost like you just cut and paste, and never read it.

I simply did not understand what you were talking about.
The Bible is true regardless that it is the number one bestseller. The bestseller fact is just an incidental.

But JIA is trying to use that information to say that the bible is true. So, if the bible weren’t popular, then it wouldn't be true?
It is amazing how much of your own words that you put in my mouth. I never said that the Bible was true because it is the all-time, number one bestseller. I just mentioned this fact as an incidental (i.e. a by-the-way or a side note).

Well, if you are going to post irrelevant, and incidental things, then you need to expect other people to not understand you.

No, no, I do not live my life according to the way any book says I should, I read books for entertainment and knowledge. Books that are up to date and have correct evidence upon evidence to support their claims, unlike you.Why am I hostile towards the Bible? Simple, it is simply incorrect and spreading faultiest throughout the world. Giving people false hope and incorrect knowledge of the world around us. The Bible has done nothing to me personally, but what about the millions if not billions of people who have died throughout the course of history because of what is written in the book? It was wrote over 2000 years ago, and has no standing in the present.
Yes I have questioned my atheistic beliefs, I do it every day, as there is always new things to learn about the world, new studies, new evidence. While I am a pretty strong Atheist if God where to appear to me I would convert to Christianity or whatever religion in an instant.
Now if it was proven that God did not exist, without a shadow of a doubt tomorrow, would you abandon your beliefs so quick? I doubt it.
There are numerous facts in the Bible that agree with science. In fact, many of these facts were recorded in the Bible before science confirmed them.
Prove that the Bible is simply incorrect and faulty. (Anyone can make a claim but can you support it with facts?) I do not believe that you are capable of disproving the Bible.
God (i.e. Jesus Christ) will appear but it will be too late for you then. You must believe without seeing in order to see. Jesus said blessed are those who have not seen Him and yet have believed.
John 20:29
Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Why do you keep harping on hypothetical, what if scenarios? It is impossible for it to be proven that God does not exist. This is a true oxymoron.
