What do Atheists believe the Bible as?

[Judas BentHer]

Now, you may act like the coward you have presented yourself as and avoid meeting her (and now my) points, pre-offering only mindless platitudes or actually participate in this discussion.

Oh my, how patently optimistic.
I wasn't aware she, and now you, were invested in making legitimate points. Rather, without the juvenile name calling and personal attacks, as she demonstrates herself more apt to afford, and now you in her defense, I doubt very much it would be worth my while to pursue a serious conversation.

The mindless platitudes you regurgitate as an accusation toward myself, are demonstrated repeatedly on almost a thread by thread basis by Aerzia. And you do yourself no great service in supporting everything she's had to say about criminality, interjecting your own observations, while concluding with the same asinine personal jab as is indicative of her nature.

Reasonable people know common sense, morality and decency can never be legislated. A personal moral code exists in the individual, or it does not. And while morality is not universal, that fact about it is.

Criminality exists in varying degree's and while someone who lies in order to have replaced 8 pieces of chicken they'd actually received and paid for earlier, only to later return to the store to lie and say they were absent in the order, as I saw happen recently at the local grocery, may be considered a liar and a thief, because the Deli staff knew full well they'd sold him a 16 piece bucket, that lie, that theft of 8 free pieces that it afforded, may have fed his family for a little longer.

Was his lie an illicit act? By the book, yes. If he was feeding his family the only way he could, having paid as much as he could but not having enough to afford more, perhaps not.

It all comes down to who we are and what we can live with.

However, while wasting my breath to indulge you with even that little bit, because a serious discourse is not your intent, when someone says my idea of criminality is fucked when they're a criminal, I don't give a care what she or you in her defense think of my taking issue with it.

I wonder how this revelation affects Mr.Jacobovici's standing with his peers?

That's a very good question. First you would have to decide who are his peers. He considers himself a journalist and film producer. Scholars and archaeologists consider him a charlatan...

I had not researched his credentials before this, having thought he was an archeologist or at the very least a anthropologist.
I'd even watched his collaborative work with James Cameron, The Lost Tomb of Jesus. Which I know came under a wash of criticism. A lot of it I must admit, didn't make sense even before I just today learned of what you're saying about his credibility.

That's a shame. But as you say, he's no doubt in business because he speaks to the demographic that needs to be placated with his unethical tactics that pervert the facts to fit a theist agenda. That's very disappointing, actually.
