I disagree with your logic, study science, history, study study study the world around you and those in it before you come up with some bogus conclusion claiming that only when you hear a voice inside your head that the source is automatically the Supreme Being, and what makes you so sure the bible has no truth? You haven't read it, haven't applied it/tested it, what do you know? Why throw our bibles out, why not popes and bishops or budda statues? And who are you talking to? Statistically speaking there are so many bibles in America and very few Americans reading them.

Whatever the Supreme Being wants you to know, the Supreme Being would directly inform you telepathically.
Why? So you'd know it was the truth straight from the Source.
If you disagree with that, then explain why.

You know its bad to steal or kill or hurt the defenseless.
You also know its good to help a person in need or save a life.
So, if the average human is hard wired to think in terms of objective "good" and "bad", it suggests the Supreme Being has in place a mechanism that enables humans to understand what He wants us to know... or what He expects of us.
edit on 28-4-2012 by sk0rpi0n because: (no reason given)
Are you sure God placed that mechanism you speak of?
Imagine being born into a room and it only had 1 door, no windows. And this one door only had a little slot inside the middle big enough for a tray of food to fit though.
Imagine being in that room for 18 years, doing nothing, knowing nothing but that room only and the million times you've been fed without ever seeing the face of another being.
Finally, the door opens and you go out into the world. What do you do? Do you know the difference between right and wrong then?
The answer is, NO. You don't. You grow up, learning the difference between right and wrong. Simple as that.
First off, you can't prove that you're talking to yourself in your head, only you know it, and if you claim it's Abe Lincoln or John Lennon or Elvis then you're crazy, but if it's GOD then you're generally accepted as one of the "faithful."
It's certainly unpredictable and the subject would most likely do more harm then good. If he sees something he likes, he would no doubtly steal it without any second thoughts or feelings of remorse.
While, us on the other hand; when we steal we begin to have second thoughts afterwards and the feeling that we did something wrong and shouldn't have never done it.

I have to differ with that, friend. A few years ago a good friend and confident of mine, and I, began a series of experiments in telepathic contact. The experiments were ours alone, and not in a controlled environment, but within a week, she had appeared to me in full figure apparition, and I to her. We live over 2000 miles apart. I was able to describe for her things in her home, and she in my home to me. We finally had to break the communication, it got to be very sexual, and each of us is in a solid relationship.
It worked. It is Real.
So basically from what you're saying; would you agree that the Bible or anything similar possibly gave birth to what we call to describe as "morals" among us humans?
