The God Delusion

[chatpilot]

I think anyone that is going to challenge the theist should know what he is challenging.If you are going to criticize the bible and its authenticity or question its divine origin you should at least read it so that you are well informed about what it is you are debating against.I personally read the bible in its entirety 4 times and feel that as an atheist that knowledge has helped me greatly to debate the theists on their own turf using their own materials.Although as an atheist I dont give the bible any validity as evidence for the existence of God or a guide to divine truth.To me it's just another book written and inspired by the fertile imagination of man.
