Biblical illiteracy

[ThomM]

Did you perhaps not bother to read what I posted a few pages back? Allow me to restore (all of this IMO of course)

If you're talking about proof of the supernatural, that is both absent and impossible. The only means of recording anything was to write it down and anything written down is only as reliable as the person writing it. 

If you're talking about proof of the events of the late Old testament, for the most part, so far as I know, there is not very much. For the early Old testament, none, and the events within contradict things we think we know to be true (like the age of the earth).

I have a question for you Thom. Why does it matter to you so much? Your posts come across as if you are personally offended by people believing something which is untrue. Ancient history is always going to be controversial in places. If some people choose to believe something happened when you think the evidence states otherwise (or indeed for for which there is no evidence) how does this impact on you?

THERE isn't really a need for the caps bomb is THERE?

THe statement was made that there is ample evidence - and there is none
for the so called supernatural - and virtually none for most of the bible - as YOU point out.

In a group where I am supposed to post references to support MY statements - And have been called to do so by theists in this thread - I expect them to do the very same.

AS far as what this post is - this is a group that discusses the Xtian mythology - and as such has people in favor - and people opposed - at varying levels. IF you are not expecting to have people opposed in an "atheist forum group" - you are not being honest.
