How do you know if the Bible is true? Well, how do you know everything in the Quaran is true? How do you know everything in the Torah is true. Thats what faith is... putting beliefs into shit like those books and feeling it with all your heart. People be dying over them words, and to me, thats all they are, just words..written by MAN. Oh and the pope is just a guy who gained his position through politics, aint no deliverence from god or any shit like that. Religion is a crooked game, believe that. Mutha fuckas pimpin minds and souls through religion.
In his book, THE ICE OPINION: WHO GIVES A FUCK?, Ice-T had a chapter dealing with religion, and he makes a statement that I think is apropos: "when you read the Bible, you have to remember: God DIDN'T write it. MAN wrote it, and then the church that you belong to deciphers it for you...and the church will angle and manipulate that book any convenient way they want."
The main problem with religion, to me, is that too many folks believes that whatever religion they were raised with is the "one true religion", not because it IS, but because the religion they were raised with is ALL THAT THEY KNOW. So, a Catholic will say Catholicism is the "one true faith", but the gal across the street who's a Muslim may say that Islam is "the one true faith", and then the Indian dude who lives five houses down from you will say that Hindu is the "one true faith", and then three blocks from you, you may have Jehovah's Witnesses, Methodists, Lutherans and others, all of whom believe THEIR faiths are "the one true faith." So, it's a really a very subjective (and futile) argument in the end...Just my opinion, though...
PEACE!

I believe everything in the Bible is true. If you pay attention to scientific discoveries, you'll see that every year they find some artifact that relates to somethin that was in Bible that they had previously thought was false. You can't always go around in life looking for logic cuz everthang in life can't be logically explained. You have to sometimes step out in faith. We have been having thunderstorms and tornados on earth since it has existed and scientist still can't figure out why they happen that why they act the way they do. I myself can't prove everything in the Bible is true but I have faith in it. I actually pitty athiests who only can believe in something they can feel, taste, smell, see, and hear because there is soo much beyond that. I agree that sometimes some preachers can mulnipulate the scriptures for there own purposes, but that's why you have to read the Bible and understand it for yourself so you won't be led astray. That;s how you will know if what the preachers are sayin is correct cuz you have read and understood the scriptures for yourself. Because, you see, nobody can save you execpt yourself. Preachers, Parents, or whoever is the spirtual guider in your life can only show you the way but you must choose the path in which you walk.
So you believe that people used to live to be over 600 years old?
Like what?
I'm pretty sure that we know why there are thunderstorms and tornados. Not that I can explain it, but I know they have explainations. Tornados have something to do with stormfronts running into each other.
What does thunderstorms have to do with the bible anyway? Do you think still think thunder is god bowling?

Yes
Shit I really don't feel like searchin the shit, cuz it was nothin really big. Jus little shit about civilization in the old times. The only big shit I can remember is from last year I saw this shit on discovery about Jesus. It had somethin to do about the cloth that was laid on him when he died. If I can remember I'll post it back on here.
About the Thunderstorm and Tonado shit, yes they do have a few explainations, but most of it is theory (this is the thing that people forget about theories. theories are not fact. They're just what scientist BELIEVE to be true.) and there still a lot of ascepts about t-storms and tornados that they have absolutely no clue about why they happen (ie, why tornados switch directions for no reason at all, why tornados touch down, a bunch of other shit I can't remember at the time.) And no I don't think it is God bowling. I don't know like everybody else doesn't know why they happen.
