I grew up in the church. I have read the entire bible many times over.
I will pass. You have already demonstrated that you do not know enough about the Bible to have a conversation about it. We better stick to science, as you may know a little bit more about that subject.
I always get a kick out of some Christians assuming a non believer has never read or studied the bible. The fact is, many have studied the book quite closely and in many cases, much more so than many Christians.
It never ceases to amaze me to watch religionists use their own nomenclature in the pejorative.Oh ya, it's the very clan and the very same dogma
You do not show this in your posts.Your problem is that I'm *more* familiar with their ideas than you are,
Not my problem.Ya, it's amazing that evangelical atheists seem to "care" about the topic of "God", but they apply completely different standards to the idea than any concept in "science".
It's not like it will affect the price of milk at the market.Nah, it was actually a generic observation. You're certainly not alone in 'not caring', that's for darn sure.
SyngeryWhat evidence do you have that the gospels were written by the disciples?
I didn't think so.Nah,
An emotional safety blanket, or an imaginary invisible friend. I never had a need for that sort of thing.It's the thing that people pray to on a daily basis, and the thing that changes their lives according to their testimonies.
I answered 5 of your question and passed on one. I would hardly call one out of 5 "every time".This is what happens every time I start asking for evidence for biblical claims.

We often operate under a paradigm that looks for truth only in the detail, ignoring the big picture. Reductionism comes with its own seductive logic so that people laboring under its spell can't see there is another way to look at it. (Campbell)Well, you got that going for you.

This has rock solid scientific evidence to back it up so it looks like a good choice to me.Hey, pick whatever picture suits you.
I do not know what system you use but at the top of my page there is an ALERT button. That will list all of my responses to your questions and comments.Where did you present evidence that the biblical claims are true?
My position is that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Do you really want to attempt to present a defence for reductionism?Good. I just wouldn't be surprised, that other people ask you to provide support for what you claim.
I didn't think so.
