Atheist Bible Study 1: Genesis

[Minimalist]

There aren't 4 models.  There are 4 sources, each written at a different time for a different purpose and audience.  The resulting mass of contradictions and non sequiturs is a result of a piss-poor job of editing.

oh.. 4 sources, not four models, okay.

In other words I look like an idiot now

Congrats Cypher

Not at all.  Xtians love to talk about their 4 gospels.  But really, there are many more than that and they dismiss most of them for one reason or another.  On the other hand, of the 4 they swear by there is really only 1.  So-called "mark."  The next two are fanfics expanding the basic story and then there is the "john" horseshit which is a total re-write from a different point of view.

Two books I would recommend to you.  One is William Dever's "Did God Have A Wife."  The other is Robert Price's Holy Fables, Vol 1.
