So atheists are now defending the Bible? Is that a miracle or what?

Actually it's more like defending facts of a historical timeline that happen to relate to the Bible.

The Vulgate didn't gain any status until the 16th Century, well after Wycliffe wrote the Bible. Sure, there were assorted manuscripts floating around but none of them were original.

Of fucking course they weren't originals.

As an example, in American history there's a ton of assorted material about slavery and the Civil War. But none of it became the book Gone with the Wind until Margaret Mitchell wrote her fairy tale about it in 1936. Did Mitchell lie about the basic facts, such as slavery, the burning of Atlanta, the Civil War? No. But did she invent characters to bring life to those basic facts? Yes.

Was Gone With The Wind a story that existed for a thousand years already in other languages? No. It wasn't. So:

That's exactly what Wycliffe did.

Wrong.

He took the bones and then put flesh on them. He (and his buddies) wrote the Bible. It didn't exist as an unit before then. And because it's basically a work of fiction it contains clear evidence that the writers included to show that they were just playing a joke.

Wrong again. And stupid. If his version was drastically different than the manuscripts from the 3rd and 4th centuries, that still wouldn't effect modern versions. Why not? BECAUSE WE HAVE THE 3RD AND 4TH CENTURY MANUSCRIPTS. This is not a defense of the Bible. It is a defense of using your brain and common sense.

Atheists are always bitching about the nature of God and why the story is BS but they never think about why they think that. Wycliffe and his buddies wrote it that way. Consider the Garden of Eden and Adam & Eve. Supposedly Adam was made out of dirt, cavorted around with the animals, got lonely, woke up missing a rib but had a wife, Eve got conned by a talking snake, and now everyone is saddled with original sin. They overlook the fact that the story says that the Garden of Eden was just around the corner from Assyria and Cush. So did the God character make the Assyrian Empire when he made Adam from dirt? There are countless things like that in the Bible. It's a work of fiction just like Gone with the Wind. And John Wycliffe and his buddies wrote it.

Now go believe Ben Hur.

Yes. A work of fiction. Not created by John Wycliffe. Now run along and do some fucking research before you start spouting more misinformed nonsense.

The Pope approves of your spirited defense. It's too bad that you don't seem to know that the English wrote the Latin Vulgate as a gift to the Pope. So even if Wycliffe used the Vulgate as source material the Bible was just a fabrication by the English.
