It's not actually, the Gospel of Thomas was never included in what is considered now the Bible. Jesus was most certainly real and that's been proven many times. What have you done to earn God's love so as to not need to take a leap of faith? You live inside a Godless bubble full of people trying to satiated their need for God with material possessions because they've been lied to and told that self worth comes from having a bigger boat than the neighbors. Are you worthy of God's love?
Personally I don't read the Bible, I know it's been white washed by various evil people since it was written. But I do believe in the teachings of Jesus, I believe he transcended our superficial reality for a higher path. The irony of this conversation is not lost on me or God 😂 The world from which you say there is no God was built by people of faith and now from the giant idiot microphone technology has provided you you deny him. That's arrogance.
I don't think you know what arrogance means. Are you suspicious of the wind? Are you competent enough to understand there are things that exist outside of our perception? Have you ever lived outside the bubble of protection a first world country provides? I'd say the inverse is true, to think that there is nothing outside of your perception you can't logically explain is hubris.
Hey different strokes for different folks. I believe what we call the world is a waiting room and how you conduct yourself determines where the door that is death leads. If you look around what's been drilled into us since we were children? You must be rich and successful, you will be content with material possessions and following what society has determined you want. It's a fools errand you can see in others that have wasted their lives trying to catch an illusory carrot at the cost of their souls.
I believe the Christian Bible has been used as a weapon against the world by "evil" people since it's beginning. But if there was no truth in it, it would have no power. People spoke in parables for the majority of known history. I believe Jesus was an enlightened individual and is the Son of God do with that what you will 😂

The truth is this war started in the garden and it's been dressed up in modernity but it's still good against evil. The majority of people need to be led because they are weak and easily influenced. I don't care for the opinions of those who have no opinions of their own, they exist in a scared herd mentality that can not comprehend any ideas that challenge what they've been told. Do not hate them for this, realize they have the intellect of stupid children who are skating on a very thin perception of the nature of reality. By challenging their manufactured perception you are terrifying them. Personally I think it's a very exciting time because like roaches they will scatter in the light and the sun is about to rise.
I say relatively recently because I believe the veterinary medicine industrial complex has become a major money maker within the last 20 years. I'm glad you saw through the bullshit and saved your animal friend but from one Internet stranger to another I've personally seen what happens to older people when they lose the bond and responsibility a pet requires. I try not to think of the loss but of the gift that preceded it and most of the time it's easier said than done.
No. You have lived a sheltered existence if you've lived this long and haven't seen the hand of God, something tells me that time is coming to an end.
