"The old saying that knowledge is not borne out in the heart of fools is all too true . If you had the character that agreed rather with this statement : the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom , then I would think that we could make progress in this little exchange . I suspect though that you are bent on somehow informing me and others that the Bible is not valid and further , that God is not to be believed in ."
"The fear of God ? What God ? Only yours or any God ? How about the fear of something greater than yourself ? Would that be progress ? I 'm not trying to inform you or anyone else of anything at this time . I posted thread originally to get reactions to it so that I could better judge whether those views were valid or not . As a side affect people may be influenced by the debates that happen here , but I am doing this for myself more than I am for anyone else . So do n't think I 'm trying to push anyone to believe anything , although I do wish for people to question their own views as a way to best understand what they believe in and why they believe it . Based on the way you posted here , it is my guess you are unwilling to do that in the case presented here ."
