As I have said in the past.. The bible was written by man for man to control man. All through the bible god is portrayed having LOW intelligence. Almost everytime god is faced with a problem his solution is to kill untill it gets fixxed. A higher intelligence could find nonviolent solutions but sence the book was written in a time where everyting was solved with violence or the threat of violence and or death, The writers of the books that became the bible would know no better even though they may have been of slightly higher intellegence of the day, Today morals have changed and standards have changed. Its not becouse slavery, human sacrifice, genocide and hate mongering tward those who believe/live differnt than you has become immoral.. It's ALWAYS been immoral. Its just that WE became more intellegent and come to understand things differntly..If a god would have written the bible (god being of high intellegence) none of that crap would have made it in there.
This forces most believers of today to go with the"your taking it out of context" or "It's not literal" but when it was written IT WAS LITERAL.. The only way people can go on believing that crap is to make excuses for it. Of course you have Idiots like pastor phelps that preach hate directly from the bible, well at least he is true to his religion..
But as far as the bible, first you must demonstrate there is a god b4 you can put forward a moraly outdated book as evedence that he suposidly wrote...You cant use the bible / koran whatever as proof of god untill god is first proved..
