I'd have to disagree with that one. How is it the majority position?

(that part of the bible being unwritten at the time)

Very biblical.  Seems to be just about all the ancient gods were good for.

Check any poll or research on fundamentalist positions and you'll find them in the minority.  Even internal polls of fundamentalists find fundamentalists to be a minority.........

They don't believe in magic book.  They stopped believing magic book a long time ago. They're just mouthing the fucking words, anymore. Honestly, that probably makes it worse...not better, but there it is.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You'll have a VERY lonely thread.

And the big bad wolf actually eating the grandmother, no I don't care for that part by the way.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Enough with the nonsense.

God, biblically, is unknowable.

Yet, theists will continually raise arguments stating, "god disapproves".

The more I hear from theists, the more it seems their arguments are more in favor of their own personal prejudice rather than something objectionable to a god.

We determine those things by what God says in His word.

So... we are still talking in a Biblical sense? I guess I won't disagree. You think the words from the Bible are God's word. And then you determine it with your interpretation of it.

I see a problem with that.

Did Virgin Mary juice up for the Holy Spirit, or was it necessary ??
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
