Now, if you want to say that the exact, precise language passed down from 50 to 2,000 years ago could have been changed to some degree, I am not in a position to argue that point, even if that includes a silly point such as the word "uh" or "hmm" was somewhere ommitted or added. However, in regards to the main story, the main points, the main demonstrations, et cet., it is accurately captured in the Bible. If you do not want to believe, then that is your free choice. No one is controlling you or forcing you to do anything. How you make that jump in "logic" is truly beyond me.

you should be the priest, not martureo.
You believe what you believe because you believe it, and I can respect your point of view. I don't see a post drowning in arrogance or nitpicking of other peoples beliefs.
You believe these things of Jesus because you believe in god and the accuracy of the bible.
I believe jesus was a man, that the bible is a book of stories, and that no god exists but the one that we make for ourselves.
Both opinions can coexist if your religion and my atheism remain personal beliefs we each hold, and neither tries to force their beliefs on others.
