Snakes can't talk, women can not become pregnant through magic, there is no historic record of Jesus existing out of magical stories written many years after his supposed death, humans do not survive being eaten by whales, humans can not live for thousands of years, the only mention of Lucifer in the bible is not about a fallen angel, but of a Babylonian king who is likened to Jesus.

There, the Bible is fake, just like every other religion ever created.

(a) None of that is relevant to the comment you replied to, and (b) that last bit isn't even relevant to arguing the Bible is fictional. It's relevant to arguing Christian mythology as commonly understood has diverged substantially from its primary sources.

Calling something fake implies someone made it up to screw with people, and I think that's unrealistically harsh in most cases. The Bible is mythology, a casserole of history and legend and embellishment and transcription errors like anything else that's been around for that long.

As long as people aren't trying to use it to deny actual empirical evidence, who cares if they do some mental gymnastics to believe it's essentially or symbolically true? (The ones who are using it to deny actual empirical evidence can hit themselves in the face with it.)

Gosh, what a devastatingly intellectual powerhouse of argument that was.

/lol, regurgitated first grade atheism for the kiddies.

So you think that an all-powerful being capable of creating universes would be incapable of using a metaphor?

(I'm not Christian, I just loathe stuck-up people.)
