Who would want to serve a God that had inferior thinking anyway.

He spoke in parable to weed out those who weren't sincerely interested.
He made Himself available afterwards for those who were willing to go the extra mile to understand His teachings.

It determines wether this conversation will lead to anything good, or if it'll have a negative effect.
If you're looking for reasons to NOT believe you'll find them.
But If you're looking for reasons TO believe, you'll also find them.
But I WON'T waist a single minute of my time posting to ARGUE with anyone about the kingdom.

Yet you click on a thread that's titled "How to get to Heaven When you Die".
As if a 'universal connection' would have a 'dwelling place'.
You're either jumping into this thread to impose your concrete view,
or you're open the possibility of an intelligent being that's created some "HEAVEN"
that people can "GET INTO".
Maybe it's the latter, but seems you can't get past your own view to accept something as simple as faith.
We all have a level a faith. Wether it's believing that a tomorrow that you've never seen will come, to the
"LONG STRETCHED" faith of believing Jesus was God.

Christianity along with every world religion, including your own philosophy, requires faith, cause
you're not 100% certain. You're basing your beliefs on a God that you don't see but can only
experience AFTER being in the faith.
Let's not forget the not-so-far-fetched definition of the word "faith" described in scripture...
"faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrew 11:1
...that's not even far from Webster's definition.
Christianity wouldn't be a "faith" if you had all the evidence that you need.
You're waiting for evidence that will suddenly give you a moment of illumination that only God grants:
God says through scripture: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate." 1 Corinthians 1:19
In other words, in a religion that bases it's salvation on a Christ, you have to rely on Him for salvation, not your own mind or its ability to comprehend.

Wishful thinking vs faith. It helped me when I was going through this, and
I could give you an mp3, but it won't matter much. If you're missing my point so far, then I doubt
anything will get through to you.

Not at all.
I've asked alot of the same questions you have and more.
People like you end up being leaders of the faith instead of sheep.
But you HAVE to understand, that all the answers to your questions won't make sense without the work of God, and if I answer your questions you'll miss my this main point.
I've already found answers to all these 'skeptical' questions, cause I've been through them. But ONLY AFTER I 'flipped' my thinking from skepticism to faith.

Is this idea of a GOD even a possibility? If so, is He capable of using man to do His will - like writing & preserving a Bible?
You have to get past those 2 before any further progress.
