Click the wrong link. Didn't notice it til I went back to my message centre. Was replying to someone else but they had resurrected the thread (which caused it to be closed) so I responded on what I thought was the person's profile.

Wrong profile. :3

You can just hide that.

They locked the thread, I assume for you making it "pull a Jesus".

Regardless:

>> The Case for Christ was silly.

I never said it wasn't.

>> I couldn't get past the first few chapters because it just wasn't intelligent enough.

Nice to know the only person in the world whose final word determines a book's "intelligence" is here on dA.

>> If that guy was really a reporter, he sucked.

Most of them do, from what I've gathered. If an entire network (CBS, BBC, CNN) can't get it right, why would a lone reporter?

>> I would site specific examples for you except that I got rid of the book.

You should never throw away a book, especially one you hate.

>> I grew up as a dedicated, loyal Christian who thought that God would be my whole world for the rest of my life. Now I'm an atheist. Atheism makes more sense to me.

In the same respect that Christianity makes more sense to others than atheism.

>> I will say, though, that I have no beef with the bible. I think it's great writing, actually, and I think there's lessons in it that everyone can learn from. I still read mine. I think Jesus was a phenomenal teacher, and hellooo Song of Songs... beautifully written.

Agreed. The technical allegory of the entire book is nothing short of amazing.

>> Oh and I agree with the person that thinks it was silly for you to get so offended.

I never got offended. The poster who said so never cited examples for how I appeared offended, and you don't either. Because I wasn't. I used to spamming or caps or streams of exclamations. No childish language and no temper tantrums. I provided concerted counter points to the OPs article to which he didn't respond. Taking up a contrary position does not make me offended, it makes me the other side of the debate. Nothing more, nothing less.

To clarify my points made so many years ago, allow me to quote from another of my posts in that thread: "You seem to view the bible as some sort of enemy, which is fine (but sad), but the best way to defeat an enemy is to know your enemy. If you really want to prove that the bible's nothing, read it. Until you read all of the pro-Bible material out there, you'll have no idea what you're up against."

The FACT remains, the fact that the OP failed to recognize, is that the Bible is the most influential book ever. Whether the book is legitimate doesn't enter into it. Whole communities and countries have built their foundations on the Bible. Hell, the public education system itself was created through the principle of community Bible reading (Religious Literacy, Prothero). Biblical allegory and references abound everywhere: music (secular and non), movies, books, magazines, people, buildings, speech. I watched an episode of Doctor Who yesterday called, "The Lazarus Experiment".

The fact that the Bible has permeated and molded almost every facet of Western society (and is indeed gaining in Eastern) made me scoff that the OP called it the most overrated book of all time. Who am I supposed to lend more weight to: all of Western society, or some guy on a website (the OP)?
