The Bible is a great story, inspiring many.
But that is just it, a story.
Meant to explain the inexpicable 2000 years ago.
It gives many people hope, comfort.
To this day.

fear tactics. The rest is exaggerated fantasy n' speculation. I find it repetitively boring n' quite unsatisfying.
I think it should have been re-written by Benny Hill.

How dare you respond to me as if my words aren't as holy as yours!
In spite of your attitude, you will experience great joy in this life time & I will be clapping in your direction all the while.
It is my soft heart that has exposed the unnecessarily hardened seriousness inside you that is the real problem with humanity.

In what way is what he said indicative of a problem?

He disagrees with you, you disagree with him, and yet his "hardened seriousness" is a "problem with humanity"?
Can't imagine how his saying he'd be praying for you would offend you in any way. It doesn't offend me that folks from other faiths think me wrong and are praying for my eyes to be opened.
And it doesn't "bother" me one whit that other folks have come to a different conclusion on matters of faith. The problem arises when the way we treat others is effected by these differences, and I don't see that indicated in his response to you.

It is a proven fact that the fact that people do not consider each other The Holy God Itself is a problem.

May be called many things, but not a story. Was written by

several dozen authors from many backgrounds, locations and cultures, over a period of over 1500 years. No one was telling one story.
The debate of literalness vs allegory is barely relevant; the entire collage is a story of God bringing the Messiah and why, and the Gospel documents are reliable or they are not. If they are, so is the rest of it, literal or allegory. If they are not, its all a ho axe.

received packages through the mail. As you open the first few packages they seem to be without purpose. As you continue to open the arriving packages you notice that one piece seems to fit another. Pretty soon you assemble a statue using each and every piece.
Would you assume that the statue existed previously as one item? Would you suppose that all of them ended up in the same place by accident? Would you believe that one person created the statue or that each piece was created by a different man?
A God who can't and protect and deliver His word ain't much of a God.

You were born in India, you would likely be Buddist
You were born in Egypt , you would likely be Muslim
You were born in Italy, you would likely be Catholic
You were born in England, you would likely be Protestant
You were born in the USA you could be a variety of religions
None are right, none are wrong
They simply lend comfort and community to those involved
And no, I did not leave out Judaism, just not sure where to place it, not politically or geographiclly...so I shall not

If you were born in 1930 you would likely be racist.

If you were born in Africa you would be tribal.
If you were born in Russia in 1940 you would be communist.
If you were born in 1935 you would be moralistic.
If you were born in 1990 you would be relativistic.
That this happens does not define truth, or the lack of it, and it seems to me to be lazy thinking to assume it does.
