Thus basing it off of what other people believe and have written. Just because every person who you have ever met told you somthing is true, does that automatically make it true?

This goes for history and what we now accept as fact. The fact is you are chosing to deny god andyou are basing it off of things that are no more or less valid than the bible itself... You want to believe that you can't trust a 2000 year old book. There is nothing wrong with the book, it's you who are rejecting it.
You're comparing something that is 200 years old to something that is 2000 years old.

They didn't even have paper or much to write on those days. Why do you think the gospels of Mathew, Luke, Mark, and John were written way after Jesus' death? None of the events in the Bible were recorded on the spot. That is a "Bible fact".

I think you may have missed my common point that I stated before. Stories get changed over time, especially without any way to record them. That's just why I, personally, find it hard to believe them. It's different when you're talking about Washington being the first president, because there were people there, at the time, who recorded those events. There weren't people following Jesus and writing down eveyrthing he did.
