Scripture says that those who believe in Christ will hold venomous serpents and that they will be able to drink poison and it will have no effect on them (Matt 16:18)...anyone want to give it a try?
Actually - the word "scripture" simply means religious writings - and is not exclusive to any particular religion
That the bible is a collection of ancient myths - legends - superstitions - and fairy tales of a bunch of goat herders and cave dwellers and fishermen has already been established OVER and OVER.
In fact - while there are those who rant and rave against evolution - the fact is - evolution has been ACCEPTED by the 10 largest sects of xtianity representing well over 75% of the xtian population. Religion cannot excape having burn't Giordano Bruno at the stake for saying that the earth is NOT the center of the Universe - it actually orbits the sun - etc. THe problem is that today - we find that many things in the bible are not true - period. And everyday - we find that more of them are simply myth.
There is NOT a single document that we have from one of the most documented eras of ancient times - the golden age of rome. WE have documentation of turtle races - but nothing about the christ.
And the religions LIE about this belief as if it were actually true.
Thankfully - religion is dying in the educated western world - and eventually will not be able to support itself. There is a shortage of clergy in virtually every religion - and churches are closing because they have no priests.
The world is heading in the right direction - the direction of truth - not religion
