Nuns , Bishops , the Pope , to mention a few .

None of these are a part of my religious paradigm. These are exclusive to Catholicism.

Perhaps when we ask question, we should avoid generalizations and lumping all "religious people" into our personal understanding of "religion."

Not really because I am also considering the stereotype clothing , yourself angarkha and the women sari's .

Some religions wear strange hats , some wear sandles etc .

It is a generalised thing around the world and in religion .

This double-speak has absolutely nothing to do with what was written in the OP.

Religions don't wear hats or sandals. People do.

And the "stereotype clothing," as you describe it, is often more cultural than religious.

And I don't own an angarkha.

Thats interesting , so in Hindu , you are not commanded to wear anything specific ? There is no specific clothes you have to wear when going to ''church'' ?

Sorry I don't know where you may pray etc . Temple ?

I don't attend temple or pray, as I'm more of a Jnani (one on a path of Self-knowledge) than a Bhakti (devotee), but for those who do, there are no requirements other than to dress respectfully and remove your shoes.

Then I stand corrected , my post should of been more specific but I do think the readers and repliers do understand . There is quite a few religions that seem to dress the same as each other in their religion , some I assume a requirement .

Why do religious people believe the author of the scripts or books but then instantly disbeleive when somebody of modern times claims to be Gods messenger ?

There has to be credibility.
If some random person claims that he is Jesus or something, it is usually a "wind-up" or due to mental illness etc.

The last 3 prophets of G-d are John the Baptist, Jesus and Muhammad.
[ peace be with them ]

If anybody claims that they are a prophet or G-d etc, what reason do we have in believing them?

If I have a scientific view and knowledge of life after death then there is and you are again incorrect .

As sure as I am that all paradigm shifting scientific discoveries break in religious debate forums. :rolleyes: Repeating the claim isn't at all compelling. What might sway me is you getting your work published in a worthy peer reviewed scientific journal, and a Nobel prize, anything like that in the offing? Then it would be humble pie for me, until then I'm going to remain extremely dubious at these ridiculously grandiloquent claims.

...Yes, why do they believe in the Bible God? And, if they are Christian, that God is the Trinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. ...

I believe because I see that Bible God is correct, knows well, is wise, righteous, good and loving. It would be too difficult for me to believe humans could have done Bible without God.

Bible don't teach about Trinity, which is why I think it is not a Christian god.

But why do you believe in "Bible God?" ...

For example because I think people are too evil and stupid to make the Bible on their own. If the Bible would be just from the men, atheist would understand it without "contradictions". I believe because I see that Bible God is correct, knows well, is wise, righteous, good and loving. It would be too difficult for me to believe humans could have done Bible without God. But more than that, I want to be loyal (faithful) to Him, because I see that He is more than great.

...
God said '' Let there be light''

I doubt that without atmosphere as sound requires a medium , does that imply God lives in an atmosphere ?
...

I actually am not interested to make believers, I would rather like that people understand correctly. In my opinion correct understanding means righteousness and it is much more valuable than beliefs.

But, I think it is interesting if you think speaking is only possible in voice produced the way humans normally speak. For example the God said "let there be light". By what I know, there was no one else, which is why maybe He said it in His mind, not in voice that humans could hear. There can be many ways to speak.
