To frodo, its funny because our schoik rarely studies the bible to see what it means. We learn alot about the problems with other beliefs so it seems like christianity is the only sensible one. I must admit they are good at doing it too. Until you actually start to think that is.
Searchingforanswers I would recommend reading material which would help you to argue why you don't believe the bible is the word of god.
These works will helped you get started and more than enough to deal with your average Christian.
The Bible Unearthed by Finkelstein and Silberman,
Jesus Interrupted by Bart Ehrman
Forged by Bart Ehrman
Jesus Misquoted by Bart Ehrman
Babylonian and Sumerian Myths such as Gilgamesh, Enuma Elish, DESCENT OF THE GODDESS ISHTAR INTO THE LOWER WORLD, Adapa and the Food of Life and the Seven Evil Spirits
Also I would also recommend reading up on Zoroastrianism which influenced Judaism and later Christianity, especially on the whole battle between the forces of good and evil thing.
Send me your email via a personal message and I can send you those Babylonian and Sumerian myths apart from Gilgamesh.
