Books record things - but prior to books - people remembered things. And not like Chinese whispers - but really remembered things. We have lost this art today
How do you know this? Without the first witness to confirm the 100th telling of the story all you have is the 100th telling of the story.

The problem of course is that these books have been written. This tends to support the notion that there may be truth to something within their pages. 
The Harry Potter books have been written. This tends to support the notion that there may be truth to something within their pages. 

I don't think so.

So if your books didn't exist then your gods wouldn't, Your gods are contingent on your books.

Don't look now but the OT is part of the bible and Yahweh is first created in that book. Try again.

The three most prominent gods are Yahweh, Jesus and Allah. These gods are totally contingent upon the two books written about them. Without the bible and the quran these gods would not exist in the awareness of humans.
Given that, I wonder what gods would be the most prominent without those two books?
ie Which gods would you worship in their place?

Hey et
The fun part, is that when a soul gains the right of passage, they too can create worlds and realities.
And you'll have flutterbys and flying squirrels and black and white rainbows and everything you read about in Mother Goose too. Oh happy days, there is one slight drawback and that is you'll be dead and completely unaware of anything at all. 4.5 billion years of evidence opposed by your few years of imagination, it's just not fair is it.

Make sense of why your contrary and relative view is any better than mine or anyone else without a fixed reference point and measure.
You claim to have a fixed unchanging reference point and that point is the morality of your bible god, yes? Whatever your god claims is moral is always moral and whatever it claims is immoral is always immoral and your god can't be immoral, yes?

The Bible described treatments for a period of history
According to you the bible is the word of god ergo your god says that illness is caused by evil demons. Was your god being truthful?

@Yassine
- Once you define God as a necessary being & proceed to demonstrate the existence of said necessary being, then you can not identify it with a contingent being. That would violate the very law of non-contradiction, it's like saying God is both contingent & non-contingent, which is a contradiction. It's just too embarrassing when retards attempt to sound clever. ;-)
You're very slow on the uptake look.


Your god is not defined as a necessary being, you claim it is a necessary being

Your god is not defined as a necessary being, you claim it is a necessary being and you have no supporting evidence for that claim. Your god is totally contingent on the people who claim it's existence as do all gods, it simply doesn't exist without that.

If you mean by god that god people claim to know, then yeah. Contingent means its existence is in the realm of possibility, as it may or may not exist. If it does exist, it must have an explanation for its existence. If it doesn't then it doesn't -which it doesn't, no explanation needed.

How would you know this God unless He had revealed Himself and He has chosen to do that by His word? The Bible reveals His word is powerful enough to create the universe, just by speaking it into existence.  Jesus spoke as one having authority. If you do not accept that authority how do you expect to know Him? He has made it the vehicle by which we come to faith through. 
All of this are the claims of men, ignorant, primitive, superstious men. Do you have anything from your god?

The rise of white inferiority nazism is the cause, they recognise but refuse to acknowledge how inferior to everything they are but desperately desire to be superior to a brain damaged garden slug. The shooter is a combination of small man's syndrome and no brain syndrome.

The universe is contingent [i.e., occurring or existing only if (certain circumstances) are the case; dependent on] on something else for its existence. God is not. 

"God is not" is your claim, now prove it.
All gods are contingent on humans without whom there would be no gods.

As to what makes a being 'necessary' or 'necessarily existent' it is that they are not contingent on (caused or explained by) any other being.
You mean bigfoot.
