Why I think atheists should not reject all religious text.
#65
RE: Why I think atheists should not reject all religious text.
Here's why I think I should reject all religious texts: when my bullshit detector goes off too often, I am rational in concluding that the book I'm reading is full of shit.

At that point, any good insight to be gleaned is a matter of blind chance, and I do better by reading a book written by someone with an education, who can strip the good points of the superstition.
