I feel you are over thinking the issue. It is not necessary to take it seriously. In fact. taking it with a grain of salt is best. Theists crave to be taken seriously. Strive to deny them that.
Haha You're the shit, Min. Maybe "take it seriously" isn't the best way to put it. When I see my fellow atheists on here arguing with theists, and they're able to recall exact passages, I'm thinking "How the fuck?" Lol My knowledge of the bible is probably somewhere between the low-end (theists) and the high-end (atheists). I couldn't quote the damn thing in an argument, but I know most of the characters and stories, and the chronology. I know what was going on in other parts of the world when Abraham was supposedly walking around, for example. The only interest I've ever had with the bible was in forming a timeline with the real world (I'm reluctant to call it an historical interest).
Some of us are exChristians who read that damn book repeatedly in a futile attempt to force it to make sense.
