According to statistics, there are more non-believers in the world than there are Muslims, and Hindus combined. Fascinating...To those who do not believe, and to those who do not believe in the Bible, I would like to present this: Let's say there is no *GOD*, which I have a hard time even saying, but, let's just, for the sake of discussion, say there is no Higher Power, which means that the Bible, is man conceived..
.
Ok, so, if there is no *GOD*, and the Bible is not HIS Word, then, so what? I mean, obviously the BOOK, called the Bible has had some very profound effects upon mankind, and, gives us an outline of living a decent life. It is filled with LOVE, the need for character, growth, wisdom, responsibility towards our actions, confession, how to do almost anything, human compassion, and well, most every feasible issue is discussed in this great BOOK, giving mankind a manual of optimization, if you will...
Before the BOOK was written, and through the centuries, there was/has been, enormous lawlessness; people were living in unhealthy ways, affecting those around them, as well as influencing those who were wiser. And so, I have to say that in the event that it is all wishful thinking that there IS *GOD*, and this is NOT HIS Word, then, whoever was aware enough, wise enough, and, caring enough to devise this BOOK, has done all societies a great justice...
Personally, because of the depth, and the breadth of the Creation, & the messages in the Bible, I am convinced that there IS *GOD*, and this IS HIS WORD, HIS LAW, & HIS instructions to us that we might have a life fulfilled. However, to those who do not share my conviction, then, I still say, so what if the Bible was written by some very ingenious people? They gave us a path to growth, they gave us a way to find hope, and they gave us a map of personal progress, which has lasted thousands of years, and will last until humanity is gone...
People follow ideals of idols, people worship a wide variety of ideals, beliefs, & things, still, so many find it difficult to conceive a CREATOR *GOD*, of whom there is more evidence than that which non-believers are subscribing to, yet, this too, is a part of the battle which is clearly detailed in the BOOK, the Bible, concerning *GOD*, and the evil angel called Satan, whose very existence is based on removing as many humans AWAY from *GOD*, and good, as is feasible. The evil one's work has been impressive, as more and more people are sucked in by his evil ways, which incidentally, is most prominently noticeable in the mind, causing one to sway, disbelieve, or turn from such thoughts entirely. However, know this, despite his impressive reign, he is doomed, so, he has achieved nothing really, except furthering the need for people to align themselves with correct thinking, and beliefs, that they are spared the imperatively certain fate of demise which he is leading many to...
Once more, I say, if there is no *GOD*, and the Bible is not HIS WORD, then so what? This BOOK of all books has paved the way to a greater life than not, and has provided centuries of thought-provoking considerations which further advance man's state of being...
Believe what you will, believe not, it is your free will to decide for yourself, however, in your choice, it is not acceptable that you will refute loudly what you do not quite know. Your proof is hanging in the balance, as there is no proof that *GOD* does not exist. Not only that, in your loud proclamation against the Truths within the BOOK, you are in err, for like it or not, the truths therein, have made great strides for all of mankind, even you, the non-believer...
