eresting conversation and it's okay if neither of us changes our opinion." The other half of the time, I'll get insults and accusations and get yelled at. 

Sorry...went off on my own mini rant there

So they found giant bones, that's great. This proves nothing as there were many species of higher apes ready to turn 'human', though only one managed to survive and become modern humans. I'm not surprised some of these would turn out to be "giants", as organisms often go through drastic mutations.

There has never been any hard evidence of a god, any god making contact with the Earth. Of course, it's impossible to disprove such a being exists, just as it's imposdible to disprove the existence of a planet inhabited by flying talking horses.

People are killing, hating, and controlling people over a being that has never proven to exist, nor matches any god figure man has cooked up. This is stupid, and I am not going to rely on man made "holy books", which were clearly written in a way to get the masses to bow to the writers', or the rulers who told them to write those books wishes. It's incredibly stupid, and foolish to do otherwise.

The only reason the Abrahamic religions hold power over anyone is due to inertia, and building impressive buildings to try to back up those religions. If I were to write a holy book today, most likely I would be called a kook and laughed out of the room, despite it being just as valid and provable as the Bible. However, I might get a few followers and it could snowball from there.

This is likely how the Abrahamic religions started, and those 'prophets' most likely were ridiculed left and right, but then a few people fell for what they had to say.

Hell, look at Scientology. It's not even close to a century old, yet they manage(d) to draw huge numbers of 'believers' into their wackiness. :\

Oh yeah, check out the Jedi religious movement. People actually believe that shit is real.

It just shows people are easily manipulated and fooled, even people you would think would not fall for this crap.
