I'm taking a survey which I hope might generate some thoughtful discussion. 

How would you finish this sentence: "Christianity can't be true because..."

That I recognize. You should stick with memes like this for your responses instead of the woo-woo deepakisms that are your stock in trade.

All 40 authors of 66 books written over a period of several thousand years?

Highly unlikely.

People who throw that phrase around generally have no clue. They tend to think that the gospels are eyewitness accounts.

BTW it's not 66 books. Many Old Testament books were broken apart by Christians into several smaller books. And it's not 40 authors, lol. Where did you, or they, get that?

But hey I get your point. Maybe not all of them were rapists. Shall we agree to toss out the Torah since it clearly was written by racist rapist homicidal maniacs?
Jesus is like Pinocchio.  He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.

Where did I say they were? They could be cupcake recipes or building blueprints, the common version of the bible would still be 66 written by 35-40 authors. I have seen 40 most often. Feel free to look it up and correct me.

Easy there Adolf, you might want to rethink your approach.

(Fundamentalist) Christianity Can't Be True Because ..
