Those who don't believe in God live in a very small universe.

One merely needs faith, isnt this the case?

I have firm faith that there is no God, lol

In any case, refer to the source of the Heretical triune(Judaism, Christianity and Islam)= Jewish Mysticism, here are some enlightening images

The Bible is Extraterrestrial crafted Wisdom literature, beginning with the evolution of man, ending with the Ascension of humanity into the heavens.

I have no problem with your non belief. I myself do believe because of experience not based on just a book, even a very well written one. The book alone frequently gets people into trouble with its intentions. It really is a thinking persons book combined with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to make it understandable.

As for Daniel, it was only stated he was supervised by eunuchs. Eunuchs besides watching over women could have also been watching kids as well.

No way in telling if Daniel was a eunuch or not. I suppose only God and Daniel know for sure.

Hey! bub...

...whatcha smokin' in that pipe?

Secondly, A-1 suggests that a lot of teachings about Jesus were left out of the Bible. Even I know that some cults wanted to advance their own version of Christianity and made up things about Jesus that were just bizarre and weird. If you read some of Gnostic works that were written about Jesus, you can easily see why they were rejected and kept out of the Canon of scripture. Crazy stuff.

Crazy is a word that has not legal or medical definition.

My point is this. The Christian teachings that were thought "HERETICAL" were not only banned by the Council of Nicea, but they went out of their way to see that these things were also destroyed along with any written documentation of them.

This IS censorship, pure and simple. Much of this documentation was LOST to history and we have only the word of man to tell us that this was "Crazy Stuff".

It is similar to what happened to the Mayan culture at the hands of the Conquistadors.

Would it not be better to let an individual choose what to believe? This is what is called "FREE AGENCY".

Common things that we see today in mainstream Christian religions practiced today by millions of folk world-wide were forbidden and condemned as evil. Practices revived by 7 day Advantists, Assembly of God and Pentecostals such as Glossolalia (http://www.goarch.org/en/ourfaith/artic ... le7112.asp) were deemed to be part of a time that had passed.

In addition, this was a time when much of the "SOUL" of Christianity was stifled by pompous influences. Part of this idea was that only the council could interpret scriptual matters and that the common or "LAYPERSON" in religion could have no direct contact with their salvation except through the intercession of church officials.

Of course, this concept is widely NOT accepted today, as many religions have revived these practices (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossolalia) and most mainstream religions have so-called Charismatic (http://www.anomalist.com/features/tongues.html) movment that have erupted in most if not all so-called "mainstream" churches. More information here. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charismatic_movement)

My point is that you cannot forbid people to worship God as they feel the need to do. To do so is to attempt to control through religion and you know where that goes... click here. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Qaeda)

Careful examing of The Bible will reveal that it was not crafted by men alone. It is also a source of much nonsense as well. It thus stands not to be the 'preferred' testament of a God, but a tool of another entity, to contain truth amidst a great deal of bullshit which humanity would gladly swallow.

Thank God we have freedom of religion and not forced like many in this world today.I myself beleave what is writen in the bible and glad I do as I can see his hand in every facet in my life today and yesterday.I realey feel my castration was the resalt of my prayers.How else dose one get this surgery done in a California hospital just because I asked my doctor for this.He didnt even send me to some shrink he just listened to me and jumped through hoops to get this done for me and it only cost me 50 dollars.This is just one thing in my life but their are others every day and week but it is honest prayer that I get my answers to.Now I know a lot in here dont beleave as I do but thank God we all have that choice.I do understand Jesus though as I have read the bible and if he was to walk this earth again as he did 2000 years back he would be very much at home in the archive he would love the people in here as I do trust me on this he would.
