You keep talking about context, and how it excuses the contents of one book, while preaching ignorantly about how context must be ignored with the other book.

You’ve ignored the instructions from the bible that I provided, most likely because they are completely horrible.

There are a couple of ways I’d try to make this a little more accurate, but without a doubt this is the best investigative journalism I’ve seen in a long time and is also a great example of the kind of crap I have to do all day at the office.

Amused.

it’s all part of a theme where science is the candle in the dark used to fight superstition.

Wow, I knew you were a moron, but making this very argument, when it’s the same rubric by which you’ve evaluated the quran, is a whole new level of stupid.

That wasn’t tough man.

I’ve read the bible more times than I can count. I mention specific passages, because I know those passages exist, and are relevant.

That might be what you want to talk about, but you’re moving the goalposts.

So you’re arguing that the Bible was not curated?

The Bible was curated to the extreme.

You’re an idiot.

Bible translation, at least, is plagued by a cult-like adherence to formal equivalence, which gives rise to massive, widespread connotative errors that only get worse over time as the English language changes, not to mention the complete loss of linguistic nuance... for which no attempt is made to preserve.

My initial point was that you ought to read the books for yourself. You haven’t done that. You’re taking lines from internet sites and the Skeptics Annotated Bible, but you definitely aren’t reading the Bible itself, or you’d never say any of these things:

There are plenty of right-wing Christian terrorists.

The same reason that the groups like the KKK and Boko Haram call themselves Christian.

You don’t convert people by tell them their religion is not the right religion.

What absolutely sucks is that there are going to be people who say that the movie failed because it starred four women.

The Quran tells its followers to respect The People of the Book
