Mostly tossing this to Abra, but anyone else who's read it.
Loved the book! Does a wonderfully sarcastic breakdown of the Christian mythology, and points out all of the errors, chronological screwups and bizarre things amongst the Bible. |

I have noticed that any reasoned request to look at the specifics of these particular religion is generally ignored by the members of this particular religion. However, they are more than happy to make mistatements about almost anything else.

Id only take it one step further myself. Why god at all?
All such answers by there very nature must be arguments from ignorance. |

That was one of the few comments in his book I didn't agree with, as he lumped Christianity and Atheism together. The comment was that they both take away from the beauty of God's creation, though science helps explain creation and that's a very good thing. |

Deism really is just a way to hang on to spirituality in the face of an overwhelming lack of evidence, only awe and wonder give rise to god no where else is he seen. |

Yeh, that's kinda how I've always viewed it too. But at least it's not demonizing each other, the planet, and life itself. |

God didn't create religion, man did. God did not create man, man created god. I'll agree with both of you there! (As I get a look from Lord God Cinnabar (the dog) who thinks he deserves to be worshipped. LOL!) |

You may be right but I would disagree, I think it owes more to the fact of Man creating a sense of wonderment.
I do agree however that if people really believe that any Bible is somehow a true story they must be completely looney, hell, most of those "stories" are rewrites from other mythologies. |

Man creating a sense of wonderment. Man didn't create the sense of wonderment, or any other sense.
You could say that evolution did . . . but I wouldn't say it meant to . . . God didn't create religion, man did. God did not create man, man created god. I'll agree with both of you there! (As I get a look from Lord God Cinnabar (the dog) who thinks he deserves to be worshipped. LOL!) |
