Comments on: The Bible is Christianity's Greatest Enemy http://www.the-atheist.com/the-bible-is-christianitys-greatest-enemy/ Just another WordPress site Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:40:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Joshua http://www.the-atheist.com/the-bible-is-christianitys-greatest-enemy/#comment-1092 Joshua Sun, 10 Jan 2010 21:19:11 +0000 http://www.the-atheist.com/?p=267#comment-1092 Well, I am pretty sure he is referring to the way most Christians are against gay marriage. Making it illegal for Homosexuals to get married would be a form of suppression in my opinion. Of course I am not sure what he means about the suppression of the handicap or women so hopefully he explains himself or somebody who understands this better than I does. Now for what the Bible says, I am almost positive that most of the lessons in the Bible are not made obvious. Hence all the misleading parables. As for the child killing in the Bible, I do believe he was referring to the story of a fellow named Abraham who was told to kill his son by god as a test. Now I know that this was labeled as a "test of faith" in the Bible but can we really think of that as a legitimate reason to kill your child? Put yourself in Abraham's shoes for a minute, if it was me i would want to be sure that it was truly god not the devil in disguise. The god i read about in the Bible wouldn't want me to kill my child because that would be against the commandment, so i must assume that the devil is trying to pull a fast one on me just like he did Eve. Nice try devil! Feel free to correct me if i am wrong though:) Well, I am pretty sure he is referring to the way most Christians are against gay marriage.

If it is the case that many Christians don't read the Bible, then the Bible and Christianity is false. 2.) Many Christians don't read the Bible. _________________________________________ 3.) Therefore, the Bible and Christianity are false. Now, i won't go into detail why this argument is fallacious (hopefully because it is obvious) but i will say a few things about your statements. "After all, who could subscribe to a religion that condones murdering children, the suppression of women, homosexuals, those with disabilities and those who do not believe?" The bible doesn't condone any of these things. The Bible says nothing about suppressing women or homosexuals. The Bible never says, "When you see a woman or a homosexual, supress them!." Also, the Bible definately doesn't say, "Kill children, suppress the handicap (are you serious?) and suppress those who don't believe." If you could show some evidence, in the Bible, of course, where these things are stated, that would be great! Okay, so your argument goes like this:

1.) If it is the case that many Christians don’t read the Bible, then the Bible and Christianity is false.
2.) Many Christians don’t read the Bible.
