You have a lack of data in your mind about God if you
honestly calculate a percentage that high against God.
The Holy Bible says that we should study to gain
knowledge to make ourself approved.

You are 100% right, then. God is not a big man in the sky with a
curly beard. God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The Son is the only one of the three persons of the Godhead that
is both man and God. God is one God in three persons, not 3 Gods.
God is not one person alone, either.
Originally posted by daisychainsaw well you did say he was the father and the son.
God is in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The Father is fully God and spirit only and so is the Holy Spirit.
However the Son is fully God in spirit and fully man in his humanity.
Originally posted by buckky Do you ever ask yourself why you believe what you believe ? I find that the majority of things I believe are based on habit and I should reconsider most everything. I would like to push aside all my beliefs and start a new. A fresh clean mind with a willingness to perceive what comes my way without preconceived ideas about it all. Most of what we believe has ...[text shortened]... our family. Stepping out on your own can be scary but it has to happen if reality is to be had.
"I would like to push aside all my beliefs and start a new. A fresh clean mind with a willingness to perceive what comes my way without preconceived ideas about it all."
That's just talk. You won't do it. Besides, you can't do it anyway. You've already admitted that most of what you believe is wrong.
How will you ever know the truth if you think it's all based on preconceived ideas?
"It's more comfortable to join the religion of your culture or your family."
One doesn't "join" the truth. The truth is joined to the one who hears it and believes.
