So the Koran and Bhagavad Gita are just as reliable as the Bible? Interesting. I didn't know you were a polytheist. |

Scripture, unlike other books, is not 'corroberated,' i.e., proven, by other evidence, since it is the authority by which other evidence is established or denied. What extra-biblical"evidence" would corroberate the diety of Christ or the significance of his incarnation and crucifixion? |

Or how do you explain your moral concern from a materialistic basis? |

I would say Archie comics are just as reliable as the Bible. Both belong in the category of fiction.
It is not an assertion; it is revelation. Romans 1:18 - 20, to be exact. How do you know that what's written there is a revelation and not just someone's assertion? |

I am the one saying that books are not equal based on their content, purpose and validity - that Archie comics are not as reliable as Origin of the Species, and that the bible is not the same as a historical book on Cleopatra. |
