"If God were suddenly condemned to live the life which he has inflicted on men, he would kill himself" Alexander Dumas (1802-1870)
I think that's pretty clear.

Bible, Bible, Bible.... Forces of Creation were around much longer than when this was written or compiled..... THere is more to "God" (or the Force known as God) than this publication.. Once again.. it is a creation of Man.
Actually, that's wrong, as any religious doctrine that is centralized around one or many specific deities will state various specific reasons for the reason that their religion is correct and that it is not made by man. More specifically, the Holy Bible, as it clearly states that the Bible was written via divine inspiration. The major difference to this would be Confucianism or Buddhism, which do not specifically center on one deity, or many for that matter. The entire religion is based around a specific set of principalia to guide your life. Unlike Christianity or Hindi, they don't name a "God." Buddhism does state that reincarnation is a fact, however it's not the result of some God, it's all Karma.

oh please... .... Think of it as one of those 3-D Pictures in the Mall.... No one can Make you see the Image..
"God, When do I get to see the Sailboat?!?"
That boils down to faith, should you believe in God, yeah you might think you see the image, hell you may even actually see it. I guess nobody will know until everybody's dead or God decides to come back from his 2000 year hiatus, whichever comes first.

God sends down hell, fire and brimstone to kills random innocents but i am expected to worship him none the less with no rewards what so ever. Hmmmmmm No thanks.
As the Holy Bible states, no man is innocent. However, as humanity is flawed in the eyes of God, we cannot say what is right and wrong, even though the majority of the world's population is influenced by the Holy Bible and the many doctrines included within. It's all relative to your concept of right and wrong or good and evil. Also, worshipping "the God of Gods" is supposedly in it's own right it's own reward... Heh.
