Bats are birds...

My favorite is probably "I'm not smart enough"----"I will give you wisdom". Yep, we have been waiting a long time for him to give all this wisdom to some of his closest and most devout supporters. I guess he didn't promise when he would impart this wisdom, just that he "will".

What if.... there is a God and his secret plan was to see who would have the brain power to defy him on the fact that there is no evidence for him ....and it was all a test....

At least if you were to look at all the "evidence". Think of poor Job, being just a pawn in a bet with the devil. Now THAT was sick.

a bunch of fairy tales some can be interpreted as inspiring and some as "wtf"

I have a problem when people say "reading the 'good parts' of the bible gives you morals"... don't you already have morals to decide what's good and what isn't?

So does that mean there are "bad parts"? (Oh yeah, I forgot about the Book of Numbers. ) Isn't it all the word of god, and I mean literally?

It's so obvious it's a hodge podge of lots of oral myths and stuff coddled together over many centuries...

like:
The Iliad
The Mahabharata
Gilgamesh
Arthurian legends
La Chanson de Roland
etc


It's SO obvious!!!

Well, OK, some things aren't possible, like ending war, elimnating obscene wealth disparity, women getting paid the same as men, etc., etc., etc...
