A virgin giving birth? Totally, I believe that. A carpenter who could raise the dead, transform liquids into other liquids, walk on water, duplicate fish and loaves, and then come back from the dead himself? Oh yeah, that's based on pure, hard fact. People living to be over 500 years old? pff, yeah! A being who had the power to change events at will, create or destroy on a whim, control any event with a thought, yet is petty enough to condemn anyone who doesn't believe in him? Gotta be fact. An angel told a guy where some plates were, taught him to translate them, then took them back and left the book behind, to be added to with the same gift as the first writing? what?!? Crazy talk! This is clearly a hoax, and should be listed with such absurdities as fake skeletons and devices meant to cheat people out of their money. Clearly the bible, which has almost no source material and was also written by humans and had parts of it omitted and others proven to be flawed, is a work of pure fact, while the book of mormon is utter and complete bull, and only morons believe it. I'm not religious, it just angered me to have such a bias put on something like this, while some other source in the same situation is left alone. Now watch the author remove my comment because it makes him look like a fool, or get his buddies to do it, despite not breaking any of the laid down rules for commenting, this should be fun to see how petty it gets.

Forget all. What if the whole world and these activities happening around us is part of someone's dream? What if that "someone" wakes up all of a sudden? I am sure what is happening around the world now is that "someone"'s nightmare, and he sure is going to wake up startled. Cheers Shakhuni!

What if that “someone” wakes up all of a sudden? I am sure what is happening around the world now is that “someone”’s nightmare, and he sure is going to wake up startled.

If they have read the bible in full and still believe in god, they are obviously insane. People who believe in god haven’t fully read the bible.

We were discussing religion and what people believe, he stated they believe in Ganesh, and my son stated that his friend believed in Jesus. My son asked us what we believe in. I told him whatever he wanted to. His answer: Well what can I make up to top a blue 6 armed elephant and zombie jesus? Sometimes the best logic comes from an eleven year old nose picking boy.

It never suprises me how many idiots there are in the world. My theory is this: Before we had civilization stupid people were eaten by lions, now they breed. WOW!
