My problem is atheist seem to refuse anything we state, no consideration of it's possible validity. To totally disregard the Bible just because one doesn't like what said in it IMO is being dishonest.
The only dishonesty here is in this quoted segment.
We totally disregard the Bible for three reasons.
1. There are too many flaws and contradictions in it. These mean nothing to you, obviously.
2. There is no reason to accept, on faith, that anything in the Bible is true. This, also, means nothing to you.
3. No Christian has ever been able to objectively prove that a single premise of the Bible is based on reality. Not one, and none of you even come close. Most of you think it's beneath you to even try. Not only do none of you prove that your god is real. None of you can offer even one rational, coherent reason why we should accept it on faith.
Christians have to prove that the Bible is valid and that their god is real. If you hide your god behind curtains of invisibility and vagueness and a 'supernatural' that you can't even describe, then you're asking for just the sort of treatment you get. You wouldn't accept the claims of a child insisting that they had invisible friends that can talk only to them. Why should you expect that we accept the claims of adults saying the same thing?
