That is an inaccurate straw man statement of your own. That is NOT our claim, and you know it, yet you choose to deliberately lie about what we claim. What we actually say is that the SPECIAL claims of the bible are nothing more than mythology. You can continue to lie about it if you want- it isn't really that important. >If you say that the Bible is nothing but mythology, you are saying that the > tunnel is mythology because the Bible describes the construction of > Hezekiah's tunnel in three different books of the Old Testament. > Robert B. Winn Fortunately, that is not what we are saying. That claim is simply a construct of your own deluded imagination. I for one, would agree that the bible is entirely accurate when it comes to the existence of sheep, amongst other things. (or tunnels, if you like) However, when it comes to the special, supernatural claims mentioned in the bible, (pick any one of them)- then I must advise you that their existence owes much to the fact that almost all of the events described in the Old Testament and New Testament have become so heavily mythologised over the intervening years that they are virtually worthless as fact. (insert your error message here - the one where you advise me to discuss my ideas with Jesus when he returns.) -- Steve O a.a. #2240 (Apatheist Chapter) B.A.A.W.A.
