In response:
--I wasn't saying you aren't willing to present evidence for your claims, I am saying that so far you have not.--
Do you think I've not been willing to start all along ?
--You are welcome to, but the point is that nobody needs to disprove your claims to disbelieve them, rather they should not believe them in the first place until you can demonstrate that they are true. By all means, do so.--
Do you think I asked you to disprove without you having the ability to do so ? Again, if there is a need, do you think I've not been willing to start all along ? I've been willing to start all along. I need somewhere to send you the information.
--As to taking out the 'bad parts' it depends on your definition of bad, we may not agree on which passages are bad and which are not.--
We may not agree which parts are bad and which parts are not. We may find out about that after going through the evidence.
--I don't think the Bible has much good in it and you would have to cut out whole chunks and chapters to get to something morally acceptable, but then that negates the whole religion. ]--
Have you ever thought of the possibility that parts may have been maliciously taken out ?
--But all of this is irrelevant until you actually present some evidence to entertain the idea that the Bible was tampered with and that all the bad bits were added. On face value it sounds crazy, but go ahead, prove it.--
Again, if there is a need, do you think I have not been willing to start all along ? We may agree some things may sound crazy to some people and be true. We may agree some things need thorough investigation to learn the truth.
Veritas Vincit, you may look at my answers above.
