Because it never really sinks into them that people who follow these gods have every bit as much "evidence" of their existence as they do. *sigh* Some how they think *their* experiences are more valid than other people's.



Any claim made by a monotheist for the existence of their god can be said by any polytheist of their gods. And any argument against the existence of our gods can just as easily be applied to theirs. ALL religious people have only their own personal experiences and intuition to go on, neither of which constitute any kind of "proof."



And so far as those who say their god is the only one who promises salvation: 1) that's not true; they obviously don't have a thorough grasp of the deities of other cultures, and 2) many of us don't believe there is anything we require salvation from.

Yahweh is the father and Yahshua is the son. If anyone wants to know that the true name is Yahweh check psalm 119 don't take my word for it.

tutor me success of prophesy. tutor me the place somebody universal what the qu'ran says, and their heart and existence have been replaced. tutor me what indelible mark of righteousness that any of the flaws you listed up there (apart from Yahweh, who's the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ) have left on our international. somewhat everyone is conscious that zeus is a lie, and that santa is a lie. on your sake i'm hoping you do not have faith in them. So now we are right down to islam and the Holy Bible. Please tutor me what useful ingredient islam has given the international. islam is at present the selection one risk to the international, and is getting worse in that regard by way of the minute. Jesus Christ reported, "i'm come that they could have existence, and characteristic it extra abundantly." i will testify of my own existence having been replaced by way of the goodness and mercy of God in the Lord Jesus Christ, by way of fact I even have lived the two with and devoid of God. you won't be able to tell me something approximately whether my own adventure with God is valid or not. I adhere to the Bible by way of fact it is been shown often in my own existence to be the e book that brings love, peace, wish, provision...on and on. good issues. I even have not met a unmarried atheist or deist or pagan or wiccan or polytheist or evolutionist or muslim that could say for specific that their "faith" or prepare has given them that. once you have the actual already, you do not could desire to waste some time happening a diligent seek for something else which will provide you what you have already chanced on.

Bible scholars believe that Genesis was written by Moses, under inspiration of the Holy Spirit, during the forty years that the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness (1450 - 1410 B.C.). Moses was chosen by God to deliver the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage. The details of his life are recorded in the Old Testament book of Exodus.



The Iliad is an epic poem, composed around 800-725 B.C. and written down sometime between 725 and 675 B.C.



The Epic of Gilgamesh is, perhaps, the oldest written story on Earth. It comes to us from Ancient Sumeria, and was originally written on 12 clay tablets in cunieform script. It is about the adventures of the historical King of Uruk (somewhere between 2750 and 2500 BCE).



The earliest known examples of writing in Egypt have been dated to 3,400 BC.





This is the kicker:

Oct. 31, 2008 -- An Israeli archaeologist has discovered what he believes is the oldest known Hebrew inscription on a 3,000-year-old pottery shard -- a find that suggests Biblical accounts of the ancient Israelite kingdom of David could have been based on written texts.



A teenage volunteer discovered the curved shard bearing five lines of faded characters in July in the ruins of an ancient town on a hilltop south of Jerusalem. Yossi Garfinkel, the Israeli archaeologist leading the excavations at Hirbet Qeiyafa, released his conclusions about the writing Thursday after months of study.



He said the relic is strong evidence that the ancient Israelites were literate and could chronicle events centuries before the Bible was written. This could suggest that some of the Bible's accounts were based on written records as well as oral traditions -- adding credence to arguments that the Biblical account of history is more than myth.



The shard was found near the stairs and stone washtub of an excavated home. It was later discovered to bear characters known as proto-Canaanite, a precursor of the Hebrew alphabet.



Carbon-14 analysis of burnt olive pits found in the same layer of the site as the pottery shard helped archaeologists date it to between 1,000 and 975 B.C.,





My point being is that despite the growing cultures and religions around the world. The Bible has historical credence that could possibly date back to the beginning of time.

This is where the term "close-minded" becomes a very important attribute in religion.

lol!!!!!!!

How cute, you forgot the name Govinda. Sri Govinda is the first purusha - male - He is the Bhagavan - God - from which all other gods and the whole creation comes from.

Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.



Its ONLY at the NAME of JESUS/Yeshua

Because one is true and all the others false.
