I believe the Bible is God's Word

[Belacqua]

I believe that the bible is a work of contradictory fiction, badly written and edited by Bronze Age goat herders and compiled into a book by Dark Age morons seeking control of the masses and the ignorant.

Morons who are afraid of women.

I mean, that's not what it was at all, but I don't like the Bible either.

Yeah, it was not written by Bronze Age goat herders or compiled in the Dark Ages.

I've found that a lot of atheists don't use terms like this literally. They are comfortable, in their own language, speaking in metaphor or allegory.
