Like most here, I too was raised on Bible stories. My favorite was Job. Here we have our omnipotent, omnipresent God, screwing with this guy for YEARS the way a child sociopath would torture animals or cook ants with a magnifying glass. NOT worship worthy!

Well, there is no written record of The Trojan War from when it actually happened, but The Iliad is still the greatest epic poem ever composed. Jesus did die for my sins, but somebody had to do it. None of the gospels agree with one another. Even though both Matthew and Luke contain Mark, the oldest gospel. One of the arguing points is the position of Peter. In some gospels he holds the Keys to the Kingdom and in others they treat him like a dumb twit who has to be goaded into doing the right thing. John is the only gospel that was probably composed or dictated by an eye witness. And Paul's letters were the first written Christian documents, though James followed soon after because the Lord's brother needed to debunk some of the flapdoodle Paul was spreading. Most notably, James noted that "faith without works is dead." Luther, a Paulist all the way, ripped the letter of James out of every Bible he found. "I told the priest Don't count on any second coming. God got his ass kicked The last time he came down here slumming. Hey, hey, Goodbye Tomorrow Wendy's going to die."
