Okay, I just spent all night at a LAN party destroying my capacity for intelligent thought, so I will make this short, sweet and to the point.

they're all man-made. anything man-made is never unfailing. NEVER.
of course, faith is a large portion of the religion, and that's what you guys have a hard time accepting.

Game Over. Two logical fallacies in the same post combined with the "exit" word. Faith. As soon as that enters the picture, the discussion is dead. We debate evolution, the bible, etc. and you say "well, I believe it, so there." The discussion can't continue. No one can argue with "I believe it" because it takes truth out of the picture.
That is my problem with monotheism. It is based on paradoxes and logical fallacies. It doesn't matter if every event in the bible happened in history or not. Fallacy is fallacy. Sorry.
In light of an inability for this discussion to continue, I am out. I wish it could have gone farther. Sorry guys.

BTW, GT40FIED we should talk philosophy sometime. I used to get into huge days long conversations with my friends about philosophy and theology in which we each argued both sides just to see what we could come up with. You sound very knowledgeable and write well. We should do this again sometime. PM me one of these days.
Peace.
