Have you ever asked a Christian this...?

[Brian37]

Oh, I've read it sport.  Cover to cover.  It really comes down to being honest and distinguishing what you want it to say and what the words say.  Take away the presupposition and the emotional baggage and it shows itself for what it really is.

I've seen this a lot. Atheists say they have read the Bible. That does not mean they understand Christianity (Nevis is an obvious example of this). It is impossible to understand doctrine with a quick reading from cover to cover. It takes hours of study on every doctrine to understand the nuances and technical relationship with other doctrines.

 
Not going to get away with that Steve, we have. You not liking our book review again, is your baggage. 

That is fucking bullshit.

Two people go to the new Star Wars movie together.

Person A, " Man this new Star Wars movie kicks ass"

Person B. "What? It sucked and here is why it sucked".

Both people went and saw the same movie.

Now please spare us because I doubt you spend much time reading other holy books from others religions. How much of the Koran, or Buddha's writings or the Hindu Baghavad Gita or Vedas have you read? 

Yes we have read about how God sets up two innocent pawns in the garden then blames them for the game he didn't have to set up. We know about the immoral story of him allowing for the death of all the Egyptian first born over a beef he had with an adult. Would it be ok for me to allow your kid to die if I had a beef with you? And the flood never happened, salt water animals would die in fresh water, fresh water animals would die in salt water, most species in any case. And who exactly did the Noah family have sex with with such a limited gene pool? 

Yep, it is perfectly ok even as a metaphor, to sell a kid the idea that it is ok to beat the shit out of or murder someone for calling you "baldly".  Yes I have read the she bear story and find it to be vile. It isn't standing up for the bullied, it is a motif selling REVENGE. Same with the infanticide of the Egyptian first born and the flood. 

Isaiah 45:7 , Malachi 2.3 ect ect ect ect......... 

You not liking our book review does not mean we have not read it. You just don't like how we view your book.
