He conveniently didn't mention how some of the men in the bible had multiple wives.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Time to trot this out again for a refresher course.

I still love that last line "4 out of 5 evangelical divorcees believe that marriage is sacred"

Yeah, that's a great line. Remember, Newt Gingrich (who divorced his cancer-ridden wife as she lay in the hospital) is against gay marriage.

The GOP makes me see how easy it would be to cast Dante's (Alighieri's) Inferno for a mockumentary.

Does the bible cover these amongst its weighty pages?

"Great article" and "The Huffington Post" in the same sentence? It must be the end times...

Is it suppose to surprise me that most Christians neglect and/or misunderstand their Bible? There are over 38,000 denominations for a reason.
