Since it appears you only want to attack Christians 'baseless beliefs', let me turn the tables on you for a moment and ask you a question.
Can you prove the non-existance of God? If you can prove to me that God does not exist, I will at this moment renounce my faith. Keep in mind that your proof must meet the same requirements that you are asking of people who claim God exists.

Nope I cant...but then I dont believe in him/her/it. Its not up to me to try and prove/disprove. Christians tell everyone that God is the creator and that he speaks to them...so Im assuming it is they that have this proof?
I dont "attack" Christians...I ask hard questions. I didnt attack you...I simply asked you "If the Christian God created everything".
That was based on the fact that you said...
I am not saying that good and right things came exclusively from the Bible and that none of these ideas existed before Moses came down off of the mountian. Where they actually originated isn't possible to determine.
and
The point is these things are part of the Christian faith, who originally decided them is irreelevant to this dicussion as far as I am concerned
I was confused by your quotes, in which you yourself, suggest that you have no idea where the ideas came from.
Rouge suggested some alternatives to your theories...did the Christian God train all of the other worldly religions "before" Christianity came to be?
