I disagree and believe there is a middle ground. It is entirely possible to have an open mind when approaching the bible, and I believe that you are assuming if one does this, they will come to the conclusion that it is the word of god. I never had any reason not to believe it was god's word when I was being raised Christian, but still came to the conclusion it was the word of man. It's a common misconception that atheists are automatically opposed to the bible, because it seems unfathomable to theists that one could be open minded and not be in awe of the bible. Try to keep in mind that many atheists have actively tried to be theists, but just couldn't come to the conclusion that theism was the right point of view. It is incorrect to assume that anyone that doesn't believe in the bible must be biased.


He is a windy moron who's been diving in the piss of christ and in the process depriving his brain of the oxygen of reality for too long to ever tolerate the clarifying scent of fresh air. The stench of the piss of christ not only made him pre-suppose, it also deprived him of the the vestigial honesty needed to admit others can avoid pre-supposing, even if it is to pre-suppose the opposite thing from what he does. In fact, non-believers do not pre-suppose it is not the word of God. Non-believers do not pre-suppose it is the world of god, nor indeed pre-suppose it is anything at all other than the externally obvious - a book with a lot of statements that are at inconcilable variance with what we've learned independently of it since when it might have first been prepetrated, and seeminly touting to be sublime virtues a lot of things which in our growth we've come to regard as unforgivable vices.
