Reading is the basis of civilisation. And of misery.

The mentality of devout theists is an endless source of amusement and concern whenever they invoke the fallacious "God is always right even when he is wrong" argument.

I don't understand this thread. Thinking

Oh, the cartoon didn't show up at first. Nevermind.
'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero

So, your point is...We ban the bible?
And prosecute christians according to laws against something?
Besides, I fail to see how one can actually compare the bible to Mein Kampf, since a portion of Mein Kampf actually criticizes the bible for being too pro-jewish.
Consequently, Martin Luther however points out to some clever verses that makes even the OT not in favour of the jews.
I believe that not even their prophets actually liked the Jews, and therefore, neither does God.
So it is now somewhat comparable to Mein Kampf, but it's due to their devotion to Judaism that got the Jews in trouble in the first place, so it's really a mindblowing thing, you know.

I see the other point aswell, but it doesn't make much for a discussion of sorts.
