equations are quantifications of 'actuality' - the 'actuality' you have to observe, did you create that?

...yes I can, and I can also say that 'Jesus' became the Christ.
Anyone can incarnate the Christ, but no one has the balls to.

Who is getting mad? We are asking questions and getting riddles for answers. That can be exasperating, but the only one showing anger is the believer.
I do tend to get mad about things I don't believe in. Homeopathy for example, pyramid scams, false advertising, communicating with dead relatives for money, ect. Anything that takes advantage of people and causes harm is worthy of contempt. I see no reason religious dogma should be excluded from the list.

So then teach me a bit about Jesus, and Ill confirm that I can trust you.
It says every spirit must be tested for there are false prophets out there.
I don't like anything you said before btw, except that you accept Jesus.
Correct a scoffer and you only get shame for youself. Correct the wise and they will continue to get wiser.

...Marlboro - hell is a state of mind I've experienced. The 'tipping point'.
That's my proof. I'm still here out of love.
That's it man.

If 6 billion people believed something that induced prejudice, applied unnecessary divisions, fostered fear and hate, and effectively eliminated the value of a good education, I think it'd make you a little angry too.
We're pissed billions of people could choose to be comfortable believing a fairy tale at the cost of the livelihood and integrity of their fellow human beings, show no evidence to support the idea, claim moral superiority because they believe in mythical, magical beings and continue to ignore the objective truth we actually have figured out.
That'd be my guess...

...pada - sorry, I don't know how to quote on here yet.
It's up to the people, not the bible. It did what it did already. The rest is up to us. The world is in a state of continual healing. That's really all that I know.

You seem to have a more sane approach to understanding the bible & what to get from it..

If you don't accept Jesus, then it means that you hate Him(Since he is God then it means you hate God).
Since God made life it means that you hate life, if you hate God.
If you hate life and you hate God then I wouldn't believe anything you say and it makes perfect sense why I was told not to speak to you in the first palce. But then it was said that you shall love your enemies as well, and at least you can learn a couple new things about the bible and when you realize that you love life, you will realize that you love God.

I have read the Bible from cover to cover. I've also read selections from other major religious texts. To the best of my ability to determine, they all, including both halves of the Bible, boil down to an appeal to authority, one that our ardent new player with the pirate hat correctly points out is circular.
Any test that would have any traction would have to satisfy two criteria in order for me to look twice.
1) It must be extrascriptural ... a minimal requirement to escape the hamsterwheel.
2) It must be at least somewhat objective. You mentioned that scripture "worked" for you in improving your life. While I won't belittle that, I do point out that it is entirely subjective. You cannot extend the principle beyond yourself without doing violence to reason. While I do not worship reason, I won't abandon it either. The "it worked for me" argument is probably why astrology and other obviously random mystical pastimes still have a strong following today. Jmo.

Raw, experience is what helps me have that 'sane approach'. Not by negating all that there is which is 'unclean'.

Please Re-Read everything you type before you click [post quick reply] this is maddening. To not believe in something is to Hate it? Would you not have to 1st acknowledge its existence to dis like it?

...if you read the bible without spiritual eyes then it will be a pointless mess. Sorry, spiritual 'eye'.
