Hehe true that. Careful what you wish for.
For those familiar with TBR version, that's the one I prefer. It's on YouTube. It is accurate to the original text, but misses out a few of the entirely pointless things like long lists of who begat who.
Yeah, I dunno. The point of the argument seems to be changing.
I'm more than happy to have a sensible conversation with Christians. Or anyone. (There are other religions, many of them forgotten because they were "made up".) I don't know what more I can do. But if you talk about magic and stuff, it's hard to keep it sensible.
Here is an analogy. How would you talk to an adult who keeps claiming Santa is real because he has a book about Santa? Would you study it in earnest? Would you do the same for every weirdo who presents their story of what is real?
Returning to the name of the thread, no sensible person disregards everything in a book because of some parts they don't like. So I'm not sure what more can be said.
I think I'm pretty compliant anyhow, I'm gonna be playing the piano at a vaguely Christian event next week. For free.
I am all about giving and atheist/Christian peace today. (I was just kidding about the other religions, I made them up.)
Here's the atheist bible study, The Bible Reloaded. They read a few verses each episode and give hilarious commentary. I eagerly await each new episode! If you've not watched before, you're in for a treat. I'm up to episode sixty something now. Enjoy!
