Hardly. Pretty interesting stuff to me. It reinforces the fact that deities are all man made creatures.

Yep - you support genocide alright.
LOL, Jesus was a Jew.
and you're legion and itn and whoever the fuck else lie bag persona.
eat shit.
Sure Dutch - you've got it all figured out.
You're only interested in reading things you already know your going to agree with.
That's not being "pretty interested" in stuff. That's just confirmation bias.
The intellectual foundation for the Christian faith is based on the historical evidence for the resurrection of the historical person Jesus of Nazareth.
That's history; the only question is whether you think the witnesses were lying or mistaken about what they claim to have seen.
Going back four thousand years into the Mesopotamian myths really does nothing to undermine the intellectual historical foundation of Christian faith.
It's such a weak argument that I have never seen leading atheist influencers try to use it as a real knock out punch against their Christian interlocutors.

Agreed on confirmation bias.
One thing the extremists refuse to admit is that most Christians agree that the Bible is a perception and not to be taken literally. I've posted the facts before and every single Atheist ran from it. Like MAGAts, militant atheists dislike facts in favor of "alternative facts". Weird!
Fewer in U.S. Now See Bible as Literal Word of God

A record-low 20% of Americans now say the Bible is the literal word of God, down from 24% the last time the question was asked in 2017, and half of what it was at its high points in 1980 and 1984. Meanwhile, a new high of 29% say the Bible is a collection of "fables, legends, history and moral precepts recorded by man."Fewer in U.S. Now See Bible as Literal Word of God

God did not write the Bible.
He didn't even dictate it.
People in the Near East two thousand years ago did not write analytical history or biography.
You have to honor literary style if you're going to be an honest literary critic of the New testament.
I recently heard a Lutheran minister say that we can't take everything in the Bible literally true, and that there are even passages in the Bible we are free to disagree with.

Agreed. It's evidence that militant atheists are dishonest and/or ignorant.
Good on the minister!
