If your satisfied with your god more power to you and does that mean you believe we came from monkeys or what is it. You believe in reincarnation and come back as a person but what of those that believe they come back as cows or bugs or just some organism. Which are you to believe we come back as?

The Bible has evereything to living the good live to salvation from hell down to diets for healthy living. It is only in recent years doctors began to realize the importance of diet over dangerous prescription drugs to heal the body. And there, proper eating habits have been in the Bible for centuries, A. "He...hangeth the earth upon nothing." Job 26:7 This scientific fact is from Job, the Bible's oldest book. B. "He...sitteth upon the circle of the earth." Isaiah 40:22. The Bible said the earth is round centuries before man found out. Christopher Colombus found this from the Bible begging his Queen to let him prove it and discovered America. C. "To make the weight for the winds." Job 28:25 Long before scientists knew, God said air has weight. D. "By him (Jesus) all things "consist" here literally means "hold together" or "cohere." "This the answer to the nuclear physicist' worrisom question about the atom. The real mystery of the atom does not involve its benumbing mega-power, but rather, "Why doesn't the atom fly apart?" Scientific knowledge says it should, but it doesn't. Some scientists are wondering what puzzling power, completely unknown to them, is holding it together. The Bible says that mysterious power is the Creator, God Himself.

When you tried living by my book did you seek salvation first? That is the key. For without it noone including myself can live by it. When they finally get the "Ten Commandments" taken out of courtrooms, what hope for any law and order then. Nations built on the principals of law and order derive that law and order from the afore mentioned whether they realize it or not. Missionaries to the darkest corners of Africa tell of wanton stealing. It is natural to them. He stole from me I'll steal what I want from him.
