Is the Bible, really, the words of God or the words of men claiming to be God?

Christians always make the claim that the Bible is the word of their God, and according to the Bible itself Revelation 22:18-9, "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book."
However, with all these different versions, add quotes and words and reduced verses of the "word of God", put forth by many different Christian's cults, it is stupid, for any right thinking person, to accept this as fact.
It appears, to me, that not even the religious leaders really believed their claims. In addition, it is also clear that these religious or cult leaders are not afraid, even though they teach believers to be, of this God, of which they speak. For example, although "God" supposedly said that "if any man shall take away from the words of the book, the Bible, of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city", a place where all Christians are wishing to go; they, however, continue to disobey their God's command by adding and taking our from his supposed words.
Recently, it is reported that a new updated version of "God words" is in the making. God, who supposedly created and know all things, words needs to be updated, how about that?

According to the report "A worldwide publisher held a gathering at a Memphis church at which attendees offered handwritten passages for an updated Bible, participants say.
Project head Lissa Stoddard said last weekend's event at Christ United Methodist Church allowed the Zondervan publishing group to gather suggested Bible passages for a New International Version Bible 30th anniversary edition, the Memphis Commercial-Appeal said Monday."


Also, according to the Commercial-Appeal "the 1978 NIV Bible limited the King James Version's 13,173 verses to 13,102."

This is what they think "We thought it would be a neat family experience"

It is all a pack of man-made lies. The xtian cult, along with islam and judaism, are all crimes against man and nature.

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:37pm 0 Comments

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film.  The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons.  He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:28pm 2 Comments

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"!  .

 

 

No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes.  'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands.  Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
