Never wanted to be a preacher, although I was raised Baptist....

For questions like; 'Does the soul exist' or 'Does god exist', it doesn't matter how people 'see' it, because the existence of these things does not hinge upon a belief to give them substance. That is, there is an objective answer for these questions. If they exist, they exist; if they don't, they don't.

What does your art have to do with your belief system? Is this supposed to be some form of argument from authority? Maybe I'm missing something.

EDIT: Sorry, you were editing while I was writing. About your unrealistic comment;

Do you mean people on this forum that don't need/care to know? Most of the people who read or comment in the Philosophy/Spirituality section have at least some kind of interest in what is being discussed.

I was raised Baptist and I wanted to be a preacher, so I studied the Bible. That is why I am now an atheist.

True Dat. And even with the amazing powers of rationalization that humans have, some things in the bible and really the whole logic behind it doesn't make sense.

Gandhi " I don't reject Christ. I Love Christ. Its just so many of your christians are unlike christ."

I've lived in 4 states and visited to many churches and the day I find a true christian is the day I decide to follow christianity. I refuse to classify myself with modern day christians. So until the HIGHLY unlikely day I will take me bong rips, continue my permiscuity, and enjoying my gluttony :D

Also just to add I've read the bible cover to cover quite a few times so I would love to understand just what the bloody hell is "properly read" mean?

The quote BB used, was reffering to reading the bible without a subjectively bias filter and measuring what the book states as truth with that of actual reality through critical thinking and the correct line of rationale, bringing the readers attention to its inconsistency's with reality and ultimately becoming atheist as a result of the lack of evidence surrounding its declarations of absolute truth.

Test for claims of divinity. You required a miracle on demand. That's a pretty good way to authenticate the claim, if it is reproducibly met. cn

I was just kidding....I got what you were saying. Who doesnt need a miracle and a hooker? I would be livid if I had no talent and my dad created all that is. I couldn't help myself.
