is (i.e. creation and the fall) not reflective of literal events, but rather, of realities symbolically expressed. They are thus neither subjective ideas nor objective facts, but finite modes of perception correlated with something infinite.

Such things as creation and the fall of man are not literally events: they are realities symbolically expressed. They are thus neither subjective ideas nor objective facts, but finite modes of perception correlated with something infinite.

is a book of lies and contradictions and a history of bad times and bad men... as such it is a blasphemy to call it the word of God.

As to the book called the bible, it is blasphemy to call it the Word of God. It is a book of lies and contradictions and a history of bad times and bad men. Thomas Paine

is a book that has been read more and examined less than any book that ever existed.

The Bible is a book that has been read more and examined less than any book that ever existed. Thomas Paine

is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind and closer to the word of a demon than the word of God.

Whenever we read the obscene stories, the volumptuous debaucheries, the cruel and turturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the BIble is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind... and, for my own part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel. THOMAS PAINE Age of Reason, I 1794

is a mass of fables and traditions, mere mythology.

[The Bible is] a mass of fables and traditions, mere mythology. Mark Twain

is a pretty bad candidate for the word of an all-knowing God in that although it has room to instruct us in great detail about how to keep slaves and sacrifice a wide variety of animals, it has nothing to say about the actual age or size of the universe, or pi, or a cure for cancer.

Why doesn't the Bible say anything about electricity, or about DNA, or about the actual age and size of the universe' What about a cure for cancer' When we fully understand the biology of cancer, this understanding will be easily summarized in a few pages of text. Why aren't these pages, or anything remotely like them, found in the Bible' Good, pious people are dying horribly from cancer at this very moment, and many of them are children. The Bible is a very big book. God had room to instruct us in great detail about how to keep slaves and sacrifice a wide variety of animals. To one who stands outside the Christian faith, it is utterly astonishing how ordinary a book can be and still be thought the product of omniscience.
