Of course I know the Bible! I have read it and I have been in a Bible discussion group. As long as I have been a catholic I don't have proof yet of someone actually returning from the dead and making such a factual description of the afterlife. I know the nine circles of hell are nowhere in the Bible, they are from Alighieri, and all what we know about afterlife we must owe to Milton. I don't doubt there is a cause for existence, what i doubt is if that 'cause for all'
choose the people from Israel above everyone else or if hesheit wants everyone to sing and revere himherit.
I say, there is no proof beyond the written wor, and there is no proof that word comes actually from God.
And you may say: "There is faith"
And I say: I also had faith in Santa and that didn't make him real
