People your avoiding from debating me from this question: "Either the universe had a creator or the universe had always existed. Which is more logical?" This is the root of the tree. Everything else are branches. You cant have branches if you dont have a root.
Sorry it is Cop out excuse when you say you lost your faith in God after just reading the bible.

Unless a God or Goddess appears to people there is no way you can prove his/her/their existence.
And even if a strange being with unknown super powers was to appear in front of me, I'd probably assume he is an alien or a time traveler from the future because that being would have to do something practically impossible for me to consider or believe he is a God.
Which means I am positive you or anybody else cannot prove to me that your God is real and that he created the universe. Faith makes you believe, and I lost mine when I read the Bible.

What I can take from what you are saying here is "god is nothing".
Why,because Jesus Christ told us to have Faith in God and Him.
And what if Jesus Christ was a liar? Have you ever considered that?
Anyone can say that? I can say what if Jesus is a liar.What if He is not a liar.Bogus questions that have nothing to do with the credibilty of what Jesus was trying to prove with His ministry and teachings.Jesus proves with His own actions that you have to accept faith to believe in God.You cannot show God with telescopes or photographs,how many times does it have to be told.Which is why you atheist can become so irrational with the bible.
Jesus says "Ye must have Faith". So Jesus tells you Himself you cannot prove people to Him.Again credbilty established tht cannot be defeated.

You just reinforced what all of us have been saying. God is faith based, there is no evidence. The stories could be true, they could be false, they could be a mix. We simply don't know, so believing them as authentic is a leap of logic, especially when you consider the other thousands of god myths throughout human history.

Cop out? LOL It's a book full of nonsense and contradictions....and silly rules, sexism, bigotry, incest etc etc
The question is how can people believe it is from a God?

Saying there is no evidence lies in the Eye of the Beholder.....Jesus told us to have faith.
Eye of Beholder

Nope, all that I have mentioned is in the Bible.
You seem a bit flustered, though, I have nothing to prove, I am simply stating that reading the Bible made me an Agnostic. I am not trying to change anybody's minds, simply telling you what I think.
