Is the Bible the Word of God?

this is where the human factor comes into play, no one ever knows what they'll do or even can do. Im sure some facts and stories are tainted to benefit the author; the movie dogma has some funny theories about that. I am however sure that god's message of salvation of men/mankind does get through. I'll repeat something i said before, whats the point of existence if nothing is gained other than offspring and maybe just maybe a beneficial gene. There is no point for an individual to even bother living if everything they do has no meaning or purpose. If i'm here simply to be a slave to my boss or whatever scientist created us i wouldnt be able to motivate myself to do anything, let alone bring children in the world to face the same inevitable fate and loneliness. i know part of believing is that mankind in general needs to feel that it has a purpose for living and that someone cares for them, and god kindly provides all of this for us. However humans are way to bent on their religion, faith in the father, the son and the holy spirit is what saves your soul from damnation not whatever particular religion your in.One more thing... a question for those that are not faithful. Whats your motivation for living if you'll cease to exist in every way?------------------

My dad had a saying "this isn`t a ****ing dress rehearsal" i.e this is it so enjoy yourself and get things right.....

​

Also there are various drives, to physicaly survive, to reproduce, to enjoy life all while maintaining a personal moral integrity....

i guess those dont really motivate me, of course reproducing is fun :-). i do have a crazy idea which is that we actually do use all of our brain just that we dont have the technology to view it. like people say that your entire life flashes b4 you when you die. i think that our brain may be able to effectively start an entirely new life of course imagined, but we do have the power to do this and is demonstrated in dreams in my opinion. i don't think there is a limit to how fast we can think, maybe we can do whatever we allow ourselves to imagine. all of this wouldnt be very likly to me, but its a thought.------------------
