Well in my opinion the bible is nothing more than a book telling tales of the old..And if stories are told millions and millions of times before they get written down these stories change. You can already see it if you tell a story to a person and he has to tell it to another person, and you repeat that sequence for about 10 tot 15 times.. 9 out of 10 the story is very different..
And than look at when people learned to write an read, according to the bible the eldest stories in it are thousands of years older than when people gained the skill to write and read. And at that time only a few people mastered it.
But to get back to my point, i don't deny the possible excistance of a man who might be named Jesus Christ of Nazareth, but it could just as well be Peter Carpenter from Jerusalem, of whatever.. We don't
know, the first guy who wrote it down did it in his own language, en the first guy who translated it did so in his own knowledge of the other language.. Witch means he could just as wel be wrong..again we don't know.. The fact that it is in the bible does not mean it is true..
If i would put the book 'The lord of the rings' in a metal box and bury it in my garden today.. And in about 3.000 years some other human/intelligent life form finds it and deciphers it, you'd probably have a similar situation...

Just because you reject the existence of God  , doesn't mean that He doesn't exist or that He will exempt you from Judgment for your sexual sins  .

This here is a great example of what i want to say.. You see something, you don't know what it is, what it means, or what its reason is. But than you think of the reasons that fit you the best, and so you create your own false truth.
'Groningen sounds like a made-up name' Don't want to hassle you there, but everything we all say is made-up.. WE created language, so we created words, we created communication, we gave everything a name, we created faith, to understand the things we could not understand. WE created the stories in all the different religious writings. WE created God.
Many years ago, when the Maya (i reckon it was) people were still living in their amazing cities in the jungle. One of the Maya's saw a BIG white man wander through the woods.. It was a big white man with a big red beard and horns on his head.. There are still drawings of this man in some caves, the Maya's thought it was a God..
In exactly that same era, where the first sightings and drawings of this big white man were found, the Vikings sailed across the world. And were known to also have set foot in North and South America..(witch is where the Maya's lived).
Again you see a natural but primitive human reaction to something they don't know and have never seen before. We create an identity for it, without knowing what it really is. This is my statement about the origin of faith.
P.S. Making fun of someone's name is a bit childish don't you think..
