Now that this thread has been resurrected from the dead, it gives me two thoughts.
First, it reminds me of something Friedrich Nietzsche wrote:
"That which does not kill us makes us stronger."
It is funny that Nietzsche was such a Christian!
(It is equally bullshit, yet somehow some people believe it anyway, even though everyone knows it is false. Everyone knows that sometimes people are crippled and maimed without being killed, and are not thereby stronger.)
The other thing:

Not every fool idea that people attribute to the Bible is really there. Even though it is brimming with foolish ideas.
