[b]Read the thread m8, we're talking about unrepentant sceptics.
Presently unrepentant doesn't mean they won't repent in the future m8. Many current believers were unrepentant skeptics for decades, until the light eventually shone through.
There is no 'word of god', just the words of people who you think are 'inspired' by god.
This is your current view as a skeptic, this may change in the future.[/b]

So my response is that a better way is not necessarily needed since many current believers who used to be skeptics were convinced by the message contained in the Bible. So obviously the problem is not with the Bible.
Originally posted by avalanchethecatI found the Lord then I started reading scripture. God does get our attention, the Bible doesn't, I was not saved in a church either or through some church activities.
What else does it do then? Because in all honesty, without the scripture, I can't see any justification for belief in your god whatsoever.

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeMe and several other people got into A LOT of trouble, and I asked God to get me out of it. He did, I went to church and got baptized on a Sunday, and went back to my old life on Monday; however, from that point on I started talking to God off and on, I still didn't know anyone who was saved. Then I felt Him calling me so I looked for someone to help me out, went to a church got nothing. There was a family that had an add in the paper"Want to talk to a true live person about a true live God?" They had their home number in the paper, I called went over got saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit. That happened over 30 years ago.
You found the Lord outside of the bible and church?!
How did you know you had found the Christian God?
