If you wish to discuss a subject, you better be prepared to address that subject. Christianity claims nothing more that what the bible states. Either man up to that or put your blindfold back on.
The message is very simple and clear. Children can understand it.
Blindfold off...
Jesus strolled into town on one ass or two? Your book, not mine. Man up? Does a child not understand the difference between one or two? Before you back into your, childish apology, understand that the word 'them' necessarily connotates at least 'two'.
Was the world flooded to the peak of Mt. Everest or not? Your book says so, rational beings on this planet know different. Will you man up or put a blindfold on?
Matthew said a bunch of dead Jews came to life, the other three Gospels said nothing about this. Either Matthew was making shit up or you have to believe that a bunch of dead people walking around (witnessed by many) was so trivial that the others just left it out of their rendition.
Three days in the belly of a fish. Did it happen, or didn't it? Most people marvel at the impossibility of the fact that a man could survive for three days in the belly of a fish (or a whale as apologists like to claim, this is one dimensional thinking in that it only accomodate the size). I am more impressed that the fish had the wherewhithal to swim close to shore so that when it puked up Jonah that he didn't drown. Never considered that, did you? Don't fucking lie; otherwise, God would hate you. Oh, I forgot, as long as you believe in Jesus you can do what ever the hell you want...including make up big fish stories.
I actually have a better story...
Let's say that I die. In the immediate geographical location there are a couple of horny girls. The spirit of horny comes upon them and they are able to draw seed from me. For argument's sake let's say there is only one life sucking being. The Bible now tells me that the necropheliac sperm ingesting being is my daughter. Oh, how I love happy endings.
Ooooh. Better be prepaired for what the bible says, read the bible, bible prepares, says bible, bible prepair...all that shit man.
