Yes it may come from a book but who does not learn or get there beliefs from a book or someone else? That is how kids learn by watching and picking things up from the others in their lifes.

Well by that logic, you have no proof that he's up there.

Being from a book is not the reason we don't believe.

With not having his bones that is my proof. By that logic you have no proof that hes not.

I don't believe because there is no evidence what so ever. Anywhere. It being in a book makes it just as true as any other thing written in any other fiction book (in that it can't be proven).

There is a reason the bible is in the religion section with every other religious text and not in the non-fiction section.

I am not sure of your reasoning I was saying because he/she made a point that it was a book written by man. So I was assuming as I said. So tell me why not then. I am always curious as to people's beliefs and why or why not they believe something.

Oh I agree. I have no proof he isn't up there. 'Not having bones' isn't proof though.

Christ was demonstrating that he had the power to forgive sins, and telling them who we was. The sick believed he had the power to heal them that they sought him out.

Thats the way I read it!

Can you really not speak for yourself? You make no sense and simply quoting every person that has participated in this thread, out of sequence, does not help.

Free will, god gave it to us. Use it.

I'm a he, mAlice is a she. I wasn't saying 'because it was written by man it isn't true' I was saying that 'because it was written by man it isn't proof'.

Ok thank you. I have a question for you then. Would you mind me sending you more information? Would you allow me at least some time to try to make my point for religion? When I say send I mean in a private message. I am not pushy and believe that being pushy is one of the reasons people are turned away as well as for all the hypocrites.

I bet I could write a book about David Copperfield doin a few disappearing magic tricks and you couldn't produce bones from inside where he puts them.

Just sayin.
