Discuss, and keep it friendly or Crow will shut the thread down.

How is it a fact? We have no evidence that God came down and rejected the Bible, therefore it is not a fact.
Second of all this may not amount much in a debate, but I must mention it. God has been very active in my life, and I am not talking about where I pray for something to happen and it comes to be real. I am talking about the fact that when I worship, I feel I aura that is almost unreal. Now you can make the argument, "Well it could just be your mind playing games with you," but that is where my personal faith comes in because me having that experience, alone, makes the decision up to me whether I think it is real or not.
Now you may be saying, "Well what does this have to do with a debate on the Bible being real?" Well this is how I will explain it. The New Testament has shown itself to me and what I mean is that when I was at a retreat with my youth group they did sort of a skit thing. Now after my youth pastor was done giving his sermon (whatever you want to call it) the skit began and it ended with a big cross above us. Now when that happened I felt like I was way back watching him die and it felt so real that I broke down on my knees and began to cry. Now you can call me a wimp or whatever, but the experience I had that night felt too real to be fake. I mean since most of you don't care much about Jesus you may not understand how I felt, but to get a glimpse you can just picture the person you love most in your life, hanging up there. It was more painful then anything I have ever watched. That is why I despise people making those movies like The Passion because it was too fake. Pretty much his insides were exposed do to the severe whipping from the "Cat of nine tails" or whatever those things were. I got a bit carried away there so I am going to stop.
So like I said, it won't do much for anyone else except me because it was a personal experience, but I felt that I should mention where I divulged my opinion from.
