completely bogus? Some guy just posted a long list of reasons why he thinks the bible is what Christians believe it to be. He claimed the “divine origin” of the bible can be proved by reading the bible, in other words, using the bible to prove the bible, which is exactly like using Spiderman comics to prove Spiderman. He claimed that unity amongst all the different authors of the different bible stories proves the bible’s validity. He used the popularity of the bible to prove the bible. He claimed the Dead Sea Scrolls validate the bible. The bible apparently offers people something he calls, “salvation,” an example of Christian jargon that relates to a supernatural concept without evidence. Another argument that historical places mentioned in the bible proves the bible’s validity. The bible being “painfully honest” and mentioning characters doing bad things – apparently good guys doing bad things proves the bible. Then he summed it up with a claim about the “scientific accuracy” and the worn out, many times debunked “fulfilled prophecies” argument.
These are all completely bogus arguments, right? All I’ve done is summarize his pathetic arguments; by summarizing them and stripping away the dross, I’ve disproved them, haven’t I? His arguments were all self-defeating…
