Obviously I see it different,it is obvious to me that God did not create this universe on a whim,that he had a reason for creating mankind
and that he would inform us exactly what he wants of us-Hence the bible.
Thats not based on emotion its based on pure logic and if it is not true then Im not gonna waste my time looking for reasons to believe it.

Im not sure Ive read it all now,to be honest but Ive read enough of it.

Actually I stopped coming here cos I got the feeling I was overstaying my welcome,people where getting fed up with my unwavering faith in my beliefs-Although you would probably call it "my stubborn attitude ," and I got very busy on other boerds is all.
