Where did the Big Bang Come from?

You think you talk about God, but you make quite a confusion between very different concepts, such as God, Monotheist God, religion, religious authority, and superstition.

First,
- God is a concept of something/someone beyond humanity. You are absolutely not talking about that.
- The monotheist God is the idea of an omnipotent, omniscient God that exists before anything. You are not really talking about that.

An then, there is:
- The religion, which is a common belief and concept for a perticular God. It includes the Bible and its strange or illogical stories. There is no way denying the logic of the Bible would lead to deny God or the monotheist God.
- The religious authority, which is a human organization that as such tends to be in search for growth, control, power, but also... makes mistake. That included making the priest, Church and Bible the single source of reference. Which lead to make the science a competitor as a reference, but also a risk for the power balance so far in favor of the religion. Which lead at some point of time to the flat earth belief protection, which is not a constant in Christian religion (see wikipedia), not even a statement of its Bible, and not a word of God (if any).
- The Bible which the religious authory and religion is partly based on. Man-made, translated multiple times, different possible interpretations, part symbolic, part truth, it would very wrong to make the validity or morality of it a decision point about God.
- And last but not least, superstition. The idea that a cross will prevent a disease. And it's plain stupidity, for quite a lot of them it was spread by religious authorities, but it's not related to the existence or not of God, a monotheist God, the pertinence of the Bible, etc.

So, educated people believe less in God, but their education has an impact on what is the less directly related to God. Myself I think I can say I'm educated, and I'm atheist, but the explanation of why would be a lot more complex than "religion is full of crap".

God made humans in his image, and closer to God than anything else so i absolutely am talking about God. I have read nearly all of the bible during my 13 years of schooling. I am talking about the biblical God as he is presented in the bible, you cant change the meaning of God or the way he is presented in the bible based on your own beliefs. I am talking about the biblical God, just because you label and interpret it a different way doesnt mean others do. I know many dozens of preists and nuns that have taught me through out my entire life that will tell you that you are straight up wrong as well as the arch bishop of adelaide that i spoke to recently on this at my last school vist on a religion course which was mandatory at a catholic school.

You have a different view point on this matter and what constitutes 'God' but others of faith will tell you that you are wrong, figureheads that study this for their entire life will as well as various 'holymen'. Excuse me for taking a more extreme and radical view point that is held by many, not inculing yourself, but you cant telll me that i am not talking about God just because you don't have the same view point of God that is taught by (and to) millions upon millions of people. 

Also i dont think you get to site which parts of the bible are symbolic or true, the pope and popes of the past as well as many denominations will tell you it is all true and that you should take its word as fact, Jesus tells us it is the word of God. And the translations mostly agree with the original writings. Picking and chosing from the bible is pretty pathetic, you don't believe it is the word of God? God is supposed to be all powerful surely he/she/it can handle the simple writing of a book and make it perfect. Surely he can convey his silly little message to the people without it getting confused in translation, is he not God? 

If you start picking apart the bible and saying it is symbolic here and there, then that just takes away from its validity and I will just dismiss the whole thing. Also superstition comes from somewhere, and alot comes from the bible, all evil is taught to be the work of Satan. If you have read the bible alot of things are taught as the work of Satan, needing the hand of God to heal you. Things like satan and demons affect your mind and make you mad and other things like satan causes all evil, including murders etc.
