1. Bats are mammals...WRONG.

Bats are birds...

My favorite is probably "I'm not smart enough"----"I will give you wisdom". Yep, we have been waiting a long time for him to give all this wisdom to some of his closest and most devout supporters. I guess he didn't promise when he would impart this wisdom, just that he "will".

6. Well, god does seem to have a sick sense of humor.

At least if you were to look at all the "evidence". Think of poor Job, being just a pawn in a bet with the devil. Now THAT was sick.

Stark contrast. It's like the Light side and Dark side of the Force.

3. Basically the whole bible?

a bunch of fairy tales some can be interpreted as inspiring and some as "wtf"

I have a problem when people say "reading the 'good parts' of the bible gives you morals"... don't you already have morals to decide what's good and what isn't?

5. I am currently reading

"God is not Great" by Christopher Hitchens. He rips the buy-bull apart.

7. Um, reading the 'good parts'????

So does that mean there are "bad parts"? (Oh yeah, I forgot about the Book of Numbers.

) Isn't it all the word of god, and I mean literally?

12. Yes it is the word of God....

It's so obvious it's a hodge podge of lots of oral myths and stuff coddled together over many centuries...

like:
The Iliad
The Mahabharata
Gilgamesh
Arthurian legends
La Chanson de Roland
etc

It's SO obvious!!!
