Really JI, all these little put-downs about superiority and suchlike! And there you are telling people to repent! Seems to me that you feel a bit uncertain about it all, and need to reassure yourself with post after encyclopaedic post in defence of your god.
Thing is this, JI. If I were 10-15 years younger I might have launched into a piss-take around miracles, virgin birth, life after death, dinosaurs, dna, even language…. For example, what language does He speak? Aramaic with a Scunny accent? And then there’s the pearly gates, what are they like? Footballer’s gates with gold points and tips? Gothic ‘Game of Thrones’ ones? Nice, genteel English middle-class ones with curly and round bits? And where were they made? Sheffield / Bilbao?
And then there’s the tricky question of evolution, which dismisses the lot!
Your ‘get out’ is to say that God guided us to find these things. But on that basis, the bible can never be falsified! Anything goes, and you can believe whatever you want. It’s a pick n mix, pound shop approach to Christianity! Take whatever you want, it’s all the same price. We could have an alien invasion and life on Mars, and it would be god guiding us! Has he guided us to discover other religions too?
And to finish I might have echoed NI’s earlier comment about Adam’s rib and the impossibility of a man and a woman from those chromosomes.
But now I’m a bit older, I tend towards Sid and others’ view that when it comes to religion it really doesn’t matter what someone believes, as long as it isn’t violent or pushed on other folk. People can and do believe all sorts of weird things based on parental influence, education, and their own troubles and mental state.
However, of more import is that there are some aspects which come from a much darker place, which are full of fake news and disinformation. These websites for example, ones which we’ve been regaled with before on here…..

(probably went too far with this – he’s now pushing up daisies)
(Some of the jonnies’ propaganda on here!)
or, before it was closed down, the extraordinarily racist Truth Wars website.
It’s also evident from an earlier post you find black lesbians rather comical. Actually, I used to know black girl, from Port of Spain, Trinidad. Well, she was bisexual, and you know what? She was one of the nicest, kindest people you could hope to meet. And there you are, taking the piss out of a certain type of person you’ve never met, thinking you’re a good Christian.
And then there’s the delicate issue of abortion, which apparently is a matter of whether you’re “a fan” or not.
And that’s what I don’t like about ‘hard’ religion or the so called religious; the self-righteousness, the hypocrisy, the wish to force it on others in the hope of brownie points in the imagined afterlife, when in fact all they are is part of a PR machine for a product which doesn’t even exist!
I rest my case.
