And yet, you do more in a day of your posting
"to make the Bible disappear" then any atheist does
in a year or ten years -- by making it look like
you have to be a fool or a scoundrel to be a Christian.

: Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing
: for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably
: giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking
: nonsense on these topics; and we should take
: all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation,
: in which people show up vast ignorance in a
: Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not
: so much that an ignorant individual is derided,
: but that people outside the household of faith
: think our sacred writers held such opinions, and,
: to the great loss of those for whose salvation we
: toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized
: and rejected as unlearned men.
