When you read the bible, what about it makes you feel that it is divinely inspired? [Spirituality & Religion]

Because i don't get that sense at all when i read it. Just the opposite in fact.

There are just two stories in the whole bloody thing where an animal talks to a person. In each of those two cases, the person doesn't react as though something out of the ordinary is happening but just ahs a conversation with the animal the same as with a person. If that's not a reasonable, believable story I don't know what is.
@NorthernBear

Would that be the serpent in the garden and Balaam's donkey?

You’re discussing the Bible with a Japanese animated creature named Pikachu.@NorthernBear

@AthrillatheHunt And if that were out of the ordinary on this site I wouldn't act like it wasn't.
@NorthernBear

lol well if god wanted animals to talk then i;m sure he could make it happen.
But i wonder what it is about such stories which makes believers feel that it is a true, divinely inspired story.

Such things are incidental. The problem is you don’t ask the right questions. @Pikachu
@Speedyman Or, you just gotta believe it was a miracle and the animals talked.

Believe in miracles is the philosophical point of view. Non-belief in miracles is also a philosophical point of view. Your problem is that you are so stuck with your head up your behind that you don’t see anything@LeopoldBloom
