Biff the unclean

That is a laughable claim you are making John. EVERY Atheist scholar who has tackled the subject has easily shown the bible to be fiction. They have also easily demonstrated that it is the province of the unscrupulous and the simple.
There is no such thing as a “sacred” work that is not a piece of fiction. “Sacred” is merely a catchword con men use to attribute importance where there is none.

AKAWhatever

So, are you saying that you consider yourself an "intellectual", John? I mean, if you are, you might want to learn how to spell "lamon" correctly before continuing to call yourself an intellectual. I'm pretty sure that real intellectuals know that "lamon" is actually "layman".

You've got a college degree from a Christian university and the entire time you were there thought that when your professors said "layman" you thought they acutally said "lamon"?

(Too funny :funny: )

Minimalist

One christian lying and another swearing to it is hardly evidence.

Archaeology has demolished the Old Testament. As far as the NT is concerned there is not a single legitimate historical ( i.e. non-canonical reference) to any Jesus of Nazareth.
