“The honesty with which the Bible presents Humanity, warts and all is the reason that we need a Saviour” There are millions of books which are more honest than the bible and present humanity more accurately. Do you think Vanity Fair or Pride and Prejudice or David Copperfield or Lord of the Flies need look to the bible for improvement? You think a racist, self-serving, and skewed tribal history has more value than the cultivated novelists who plumbed the human spirit—the good, the bad, and the ugly? You think Joshua is a match for Barchester Towers? PFUII!! “I bet your life would make the most depraved person in the Bible, blush.” Because I support birth control, women’s rights, and free thinking? Because I mourn how religious ideologies have taken the lives of so many innocents and threaten the peace, happiness, and progress of civilization? Sorry to disappoint you, but I have sexual intercourse in all the normal ways. Go ahead...question the goats! I am sure neither Lot nor his 2 daughters would find occasion to blush around me! And Yahweh--the Eugenic monster, genocidal maniac, and sociopathic sexual deviant...HE would have no call to blush on my account!
