Amazing argument. I love all the judgments that you cast forth on me about knowing nothing about theology, and having a bigoted stereotype on a book that I’m not intelligent enough to understand.
I’m glad you have the intelligence enough to believe in: god needing to create a savior so that he may be so kind as to forgive us, virgin births, Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, Jesus walking on water plus many other alleged miracles, talking snakes, talking donkeys, talking burning bushes, god wanting to kill Moses for some reason and his son’s foreskin saves his life, Noah’s ark, god creating a woman out of a rib, the Sodom and Gomorrah destruction, god giving Samson the power to kill 1,000 people with a donkey’s jawbone, an iron axe head floating in water, Saul wanting 100 foreskins in exchange for his daughter to marry David, god making a sundial’s shadow move backwards, Jonah’s sleep-over inside the whale, and Jacob putting sticks with stripes on them in front of the cattle’s water troughs so his plain cattle could breed striped and spotted cattle.
I know it must blow your mind that people would be skeptical of this short list out of a much lengthier list of examples that I could have used, but surprisingly there’s people out there, according to you, that don’t have the intelligence to comprehend such wisdom I guess. It must make you feel so smart to be around so many people on here, that don’t think any of that makes sense.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
