As an Atheist, I am often accused by Christians of having made up my mind about the bible before I read it, so I ask Christians: Have you already decided that the bible is true before you sit down to read it?

• If you already KNOW, aren't you already sure of the correctness?

• I don't already know everything the bible says, I know what I have been taught, did you trust and know you could walk when your parents let go of your hand as a small child?, by golly they were right!!

• When I was learning how to walk I didn't have control of my rational mind like I do today, so I really couldn't question. Also, if my parents had been wrong, it would have been readily apparent. The difference is that if you are 100% sure that everything in the bible is the inerrent word of God, when you read something that doesn't make sense, you just assume that it makes sense in some way you don't understand.

• What Mr. Josh is implying is that his interpretation, his intelligence, his wisdom, his point of view, et al is somehow greater or more significant than yours (or mine). I don't believe that.

• Thanks Eclipse, for coming into this conversation and puting words in my mouth. That is not what I have said here. While things I have said elsewhere MAY be interpreted as that, I don't see how my comments here can be construed in that way.

• While I will never attempt to degrade what you believe, I will fight your attempts to degrade what others believe.

• Questioning is not degrading.

• I am much to old to change the way I believe, I will always believe in God. he has helped me with many many problems. I am very happy you have not had to call on him.. Thank you eclipse for all your help as well. I like to read what Mr. Josh writes i think he is very intelligence as well. I use to ignore ppl whom didn't share my love for Christ. I haven't come to understand they aren't crazy or sick, they just are who they are.. Again Mr. Josh I can't help you with this question, I do have faith you will find your answer
