I mean, I don't know what belief is correct, if any, but what I DO know is that a human being (assumed to be very similar to
you, or me, or Primate98) penned every single religious text. That is not very reassuring.
The funniest part of the whole "Blue beam" conspiracy to me is that it could be assumed that they will try to use Jesus as one of the entities to speak to people, right?
Here's how you will KNOW that the whole thing is a deception :
THEY WILL USE FICTIONAL (BY ALL ACCOUNTS) WHITE JESUS!
If they try to sell Jesus to me, he better look like a disheveled terrorist, not a member of Allman Brothers. Just saying.
You are smarter than an atheist, then. I believe Agnostics inherently are smarter than atheists because they are more open to God than them.

Human also wrote your comment. The human called "you". A huge part of what you (or anyone, really) believe is creditable due to men. If everyone but you disappeared at age 5, what would your worldview be like??
Fallible human scientists interpret the unobservable unrepeatable past and make theories, but yet it is called "science" rather than history - and is supposedly "more" reliable??
The big difference is that GOD Inspired the Bible. That men wrote it is a moot point. Look at the results belief in the Bible has brought, for one. Look at all the true things it says.
not very reasoning
God wants us to be logical. See here: Isaiah 1:18 : "Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool."
Matthew 23:37 : "And He said to him, “ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’"
1 Peter 3:15 : "but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;"
blue beam
The devil hates Jesus and will even pretend to be God and some savior. The anti Christ will appeal to worldly desires, but leave your soul high and dry. He will be LOVED BY MOST OF HUMANITY. Evil does not come with horns. It comes to you in a suit and tie, offering you a bribe.
He will play nicey wicey with the world for the first half of his reign. Then he will go mask off and show his tyrannical, TRUE SELF in the 2nd half. If you live to witness those times, you WILL see "my" words come to pass because this info on the anti Christ are not originating from me, I am telling you stuff based from Revelation.
The ac hasn't arrived yet thankfully. In the meantime, we should be making the world Godlier and better.
And you will not get your "disheveled terrorist look", the anti Christ will almost certainly be seen as handsome. Definitely not physically ugly in most people's eyes.
To be frank, when you understand enough about what is really going on, you observe that almost everyone in the world draws a little circle around themselves. They call things within the circle "right" and things outside the circle "wrong". Of course, they never realize they have drawn the circle themselves, or that they adjust the lines from time to time.
When you're looking down at all these little Venn diagrams, you realize that the words "right" and "wrong" the way they are typically used have little applicability from that vantage. It's pointless to talk about.
If someone is looking down on these little Venn diagrams with you, well then, maybe there's something to discuss.
Well, just an an example of what I was talking about:
Suppose you went into a church--any church of your choosing--and handed out a simple 100-item multiple choice questionnaire to 100 different people regarding the tenets of "Christianity".
Unless you got back 100 identical answer sheets, then you'd have to say you had a problem even defining what "Christianity" was in the first place.
If you asserted that you or some other person was enough of an authority to decide how closely the questionnaires needed to match with less than 100% fidelity in order to define "Christianity", and which questionnaires did or not not satisfy that criteria, then "Christianity" would instantly be rendered an imperfect arbitrary human concept rather than a perfect absolute divine one. Then we'd also have to go back to how the questionnaire authorities were decided in the first place.
When someone could tell me the foregoing instead of me telling others, I would say that they had worked through numerous other issues for themselves and elevated their consciousness, and we were ready to proceed with the interchange.
Until such time, I would leave it to others to discuss the issues amongst themselves to see if they could elevate their consciousness and come to the realizations that I had, including that that discussion would never reach a conclusion and the true progression was to rise above it. It seems that in many centuries no such conclusion has been reached, so WTF does anyone want from me?
And if it strikes your mind that you find all this unsatisfactory and it's dodging the question or it's nonsensical or whatever else, yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying.
Are you implying Christianity is false?
Are you implying it isn't?

Intresting takes, but this doesn't really answer the question if you were implying Christianity was false. Stream of consciousness?
