God Exists and The Bible is about Him

I want start this subject with an apology because I think I am going to say some very derogatory things about religion and given that we live in a country where 90 percent of people believe in a Biblical God. I think I am destined to offend someone reading this. I want to assure you that's not the point I am trying to make here. First lets look at this historically. Recorded history started about 5500 years ago when the Sumerians invented writing. From that time till now we have recorded 3500 different gods and that is the short list. I would say this proves that men invent gods. What about Christianity?The early Christians were a small group of people embedded in an Iron Age world view.The world, as they saw it, must have been heavily populated with magical events and forces, supernatural beings, gods demanding tribute and obedience.They had been raised their entire lives to believe that a spiritual and political messiah would come and provide them with salvation.They were illiterate for the most part.Science as we know it wouldn"t be invented for another 1500 years or so.They had no general expectation that there were natural explanations for lots of the events that people often take to be of religious and supernatural significance.Religiousness and spiritual devotion to some sect or other was a normal way of life for them. I won"t propose any particular alternative explanation for what might have happened surrounding the beginning of Christianity.I don"t think the non-believer needs to commit themselves to one natural explanation or another being true unless the evidence is really compelling.What should be obvious, even to the staunch believer, is that there are a host of possibilities that could explain why someone might have thought or said he was the son of God and why a lot of people might have believed him besides his really being the offspring of a divine entity who was the creator of the universe.People get confused, they make mistakes, they are enthusiastic, they have ulterior motives, they lie, they cheat, they manipulate, they get duped, they perpetrate cons, they have mental illness, they hear voices, they see things, or they succumb to social pressure.And then social, political, and religious movements can spread by historical accident, through social fads, by political mandate, and so on. The firm believer must think that one of these alternatives or some combination of them give the real explanation for all the false religions that compete with Christianity.The mainstream Christian would need to conclude that Muhammad, for instance, and his prophecies and the rise of Islam can be explained away in this fashion.The Christian who thinks that the one, true, authentic path to God is through one doctrine or another, say Catholicism, or some kind of fundamentalist creed, they would have to conclude that the vast majority of religions that ever arose in human history are grounded on mistakes and some natural account like those above.There have been tens of thousands of religions in history, and thousands of those claim to be "the one, true religion," while all the others are false.For them, the precedent is already set for many religions to based on a grand, historical mistake.

Furthermore I wound contend that the bible is immoral superstitious nonsense.thank you for reading.
