ALTRAV,

<<There just IS NOT any evidence of God showing himself to 'the people'.

We cannot take the word of 'disciples', they have a vested interest.
Just look at it by comparison to todays con-men.>>

But you want me to take your word for God's non-existence. You also have a vested interest.

When will you drop your guard and follow the evidence wherever it leads?

You don't want to trust the disciples but you want me to trust your word. Come on, mate! I didn't come down in the last shower.

OzSpen, I don't want you to take my word for anything.
I am suggesting the non-existence of an almighty, spiritual, super power, I am clear about that.
I have no vested interest other than in searching for the truth and explaining the facts and truths I have discovered along the way.
When I speak of God, I am not singling out Christianity, but all the groups who believe there is a spiritual being they all name differently, but ultimately it is the same, and the English name for it is 'God'.
My questioning the Bible has merit as opposed to the Bible which upon even a general scrutiny, evokes situations and occurrences that are simply NOT POSSIBLE!
As I have said, the Bible is a book of fantasy, fiction.
There are many teachings in it that hold true for a good person.
It is the canting that I will not stand for.
You may believe what you will, I will continue believing in myself, knowing I am satisfied at how I have steered myself through life thus far

ALTRAV,

What was your response? Not a word! Zero.

I don't find you to be a serious blogger who wants to follow the evidence wherever it leads. I may be wrong, but I haven't seen your open mind yet.

Dear Spencer,

That post was addressed to me.

Yuyutsu, OzSpen, I'm sorry if I did not pick up on that question.
I am showing a certain lacking here but, what is an OT?
Maybe it will strike me once I hear it but for the life of me I've tried reviewing any similar acronyms I know of, and sadly, come up short.
So if I may trouble someone to give me a refresher.
Thanks.

OT = "Old Testament" in the bible.
Similarly NT= "New Testiment"

There really are too many acronyms out there aren't there. Most of them aren't used in real life only are short hand language for online. Oh well. Not much we can do about it.
