Real enough for me to sell out to it.

But why did you sell out it to it? What made accept it so willingly?

And to answer a question previously posed about proving the non-existence of god.

Is it not a common belief that if God exists, then he is transcendent, meaning he is outside space and time? And if God does indeed exists, he is omnipresent? But, to be transcendent, a being cannot exist anywhere in space. Yet, to be omnipresent, a being must exist everywhere in space. Is that is contradiction and therefore a physical impossibility, unless one defies logic. So if this so called God cannot be defined with out being physically possible, how can he possibly exist?

Space and time are human concepts that are essentially measurements of each other. They are,in effect, illusory. To say that God is transcendent of time and space is to say that "he" is beyond the limitations of time and space, thus omnipresent.

there was a documentary on the History channel called Banned from the Bible and they were discussing the stories/books that were conveniently omitted from the Bible

I thought it was pretty much common knowledge that the Bible was altered severely from it's original version through "lost in translation" and of course to suit the agenda of the Catholic church that had a major hand in translating the version of the Bible that we use today.

There are books that are missing between the old testament and new testament that some denominations refuse to recognize.

I actually didn't know that. That's very interesting.

I'd certainly be interested in reading them. I think some of them actually show women had an actual role in the time of Jesus. I definitely do not agree with 90% of what the church says and has done. I try to distance myself from it all as it is all rather subjective, and have my own personal spiritual connection with God.

There's an entire library worth of relevant material from the old-new testament era that gets shunned or overlooked : The Dead Sea Scrolls, The Nag Hammadi, The Apocraphya (the missing books of the bible) the list goes on.
