I'm guessing you've become a Christian for whatever reasons. I've arguments for all the major religions, but for Christianity, you could read The God Delusion by Dawkins, or God Is Not Great by Hitchens, but the best book (books) that could sway any thinking person is to read the Bible. Read it all, front to back, no coaching, no "Bible studies," no asking for help. Any thinking person that reads the old and new testament without help is going to conclude that the entirety of Christianity is nonsense. Science and math was responsible for building the coffin of my own Christianity, reading the bible front to back was the hammer and nails.
btw you can read the Quran for free also, and while you'll draw the same conclusions (all garbage and a waste of your time), the Quran is worse because it's very boring. At least the bible has sanctioned rape, a murderous and jealous God, lots of torture and sex, and even trolling (God asking Abraham to murder his son and at the last moment says "haha, just kidding").
The Quran, Koran, whatever doesn't have much of any of that it's just "God is great" every other line. No plot, no worry about the antagonist, it's basically just a repeated chant, imho. Normally I'd recommend everybody read it, as most Sunnis want to see Americans, Jews, and Shiites lined up and shot, but honestly, it's a yawn. You're better off spending your time reading Nancy Drew with Havax.

I've was raised a Christian. Never been much of a Bible-thumper though.
I've always liked the Bible, even though some of it is definitely wtf
Really don't give much more than a passing nod to the Quran though. Don't really care.
My question in the thread was more of an observation that I've made after roaming this planet for almost half a century.
Don't take this badly but you kind of prove it, along with your authors of choice.

Like I said, those authors are Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and a host of Old testament authors. . Timothy, Job and whatnot.
For anyone considering atheism, I wholly recommend they read these works.
big claims require big evidence. and we're not a "fledgling species" whatever the fuck that means. we're on the verge of colonizing new planets..
You're right triple everyone is guilty until proven innocent. That's the progressive way of thinking. Thanks man
The average mammalian species exists for 1-2 Million years, from appearance to extinction, according to the fossil records. Some mammals have lived upwards of 10 million. We've only been around for 300,000, and really only 50,000 if you're measuring by behavioral modernity. We're a young species, one that can reasonably expect another 700k-2M years before our natural extinction.
But you're right, probably be done colonizing planets by the end of the week.
On the grand scope, science has only been with us for the last bit. As far as trying to fly, we've gone from men dying in bits of wood and string to the moon in less than a century. I doubt we we'll be colonizing planets by the end of the week, and science has never claimed such. We're working on it.
On the other hand, Taxi's, your, and Havax's God has made some fantastic claims, the resolution of which, you'll all be waiting on for some time.

even Dawkins himself is turning back to the rejoice of regular religion over the cult of PC and what u SJW's have done to the West lately.....not to mention what Islam is doing
Richard Dawkins accused of Islamophobia after comparing 'lovely church bells' to 'aggressive-sounding Allahu Akhbar'

of all the retarded statements in this thread, "we're on the verge of colonizing new planets" is an easy winner
still a question out there...
or how about any evidence against kav?
watch live as intellectual sam harris says, any criticism is interpreted as islamophobia not 10 seconds before actor ben affleck calls him an islamophobe
