Hi meekerdb You can only find the truth of the Bible by reading it as a little child.

What kind of a sacrifice is that? "I'm going to do you the biggest favor you can imagine, but if you don't believe in it, then my favor is worthless and makes anything good that you have ever done in your life a complete waste of time". If I were Satan, I would write the Bible exactly as it is, full of horrific promises and threats that can be interpreted in many ways. It's pretty much like dropping candy colored hand grenades onto a school playground. The grenades would say "if anyone tries to take this away from you, then they deserve whatever happens to them". But I'm curious; as a member of the EVERYTHING-list, don't you believe that there's a world where the Bible is essentially accurate (modulo direct contradictions)? I don't know about accurate, but there are certainly phenomenological states where the Bible can seem powerfully important, i.e. super-significant - for good or evil. But those are phenomenological states in this world, and apparently you think the qualifier "seem" means "false" in this world. I'm asking about all those infinitely many other worlds?
