So it's not as much about you as a nation, if you get me, the thing is that I do think that Abraham existed unless someone has proof that is not as bad as I read, then maybe I will be convinced and one thing that I have leraned in life ic "Don't believe everything you read, you will be shocked how much of it is the real thruth" One clever America dude said that to me, while I was still in University.
You attended a university? For how long? And you never once ran across the concept that the Old Testament is myth? That Moses, Abraham, Adam, Isaac, etc were never real people? Or if they were real people, they weren't anything at all like they are portrayed in the Bible? And they call that education?

First thing first, never said I never came across the concept that the Old Testament is a myth. So, what now, does that mean theOld Testament is really a myth. All that I said is that iread the evidence and it was really crap_So sue me if I believe that Abraham does exist.So maybe You must come up with proof that Abraham did not exist, and not as crapy as that one that I read. About my education or yaers in University_don't even go there dude,, I'm gonna STOMP YOU HARD CHINA.
No I don't ....won't you be a sweetheart and tell me how to edit one. Whatever dude, here I was thinking that you have something interesting to say,but like usual I was wrong. Are you so desperate for debate that you start one about my tagline. Get a life dude, oh I forgot you don't have one BRAINY!!!. Gee..I'm such a lady. Have a nice day lovely gentleman. Till next time, I will try to fix my tagline. Chow for now.
Are you Happy now? CAUTION _don't you ever diss me about my education_its not gonna be pretty. I'm one lady that doesn't take crap from anyone, so you watch your tone and who you are talking too, cause I will bring it hard.
Unless I'm very mistaken, nomi is using the term 'china' as it is used in Cockney rhyming slang:
* The film The Limey (1999) features Terrence Stamp as Wilson, a Cockney man recently released from prison who spices his conversations with rhyming slang:
Wilson: Can't be too careful nowadays, y'know? Lot of "tea leaves" about, know what I mean? Warehouse Foreman: Excuse me? Wilson: "Tea leaves"... "thieves."
Wilson: Eddy... yeah, he's me new "china." Elaine: What? Wilson: "China plate"... "mate."
Wilson: I'm gonna 'ave a "butcher's" round the house. Ed Roel: Who you gonna butcher? Wilson: "Butcher's hook"... "look."

What a profound argument! The evidence is wrong because it is garbage and crap. WOW!!! I would never have thought of that! My feelings are really, really devastated. You need to make sure all the world's Biblical apologists are aware of this argument, so they can inform all critical doubters of the truth, and they will have no choice but to become believers.
Your argument will make all apologists proud!
...I used sarcasm in an attempt to motivate you to provide some substance to your argument. Instead of shrugging my arguments off as "garbage" and "crap", it would be interesting to know your actual reasoning. Why do you believe Abraham actually lived?
If you base your belief on faith and "revelation from God" as many do, I can accept that, but for me, this argument fails the test of reasonableness. It is the "God can do anything" argument, which I can use to prove two plus two equals five.
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction. –Blaise Pascal
Without it, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, it takes religion. -Stephen Weinberg
