Enlighten Yourselves

[Delicate]

I did read the Bible. It's a far more complex piece of literature than both Christians and atheists give it credit for.

I would be interested in your elaboration.

Well, for one, "the Bible" is not a singular book, but a collection of several works spanning around 1500 years. There's an incredible amount of cultural/temporal diversity between the various works, despite the fact that the authors all believed in Yahweh. They were written in three very different languages (Hebrew, Koine Greek and Aramaic). And there's an incredible diversity of genres between the books.

You can be an atheist and still admit that the Bible, as a collection, is a literary masterpiece. You don't have to be a theist to appreciate it as a piece of art and monument of culture.
