It is funnyhow atheists most of the timehave to resort to insults.
It will never be proven that nothing created everything no matter how long you try! Im also pretty sure that a conscience being can not be created from a unconscience being!! I know it sucks but YES you will have to be accountable for your life, and you WIll realize it eventually. Atheism is a perfect excuse for not changing the way you live isnt it. I

Its not just that the damn thing is so long, its also that once you get past the oh-so-familiar creation story, the oral starts. By which i mean scraps left over from oral tradition when this stuff was first being made up. Long lists of names! oh. wow. impressive. Impressive if you’re an illiterate goob sitting around a campfire and are impressed that someone managed to memorize a couple hundred names or whatever. It makes for some good barding but TERRIBLE reading.

I think Gordon might be on to something here... There are many stories of people sitting down to actually read the Bible cover-to-cover and that being the trigger that spurs them to atheism (my wife is an example). Unfortunately, since the Bible is so damn long, the majority of people who undertake to read the whole thing already have enough of a vested interest that they are willing to ignore the pesky parts about the blessed institution of incest or the anti-depressant effects of smashing baby heads. But if there were an abridged version in a manageable size that accurately reflected the despicable nature of the Bible... Well!

Dont forget you can do what Kirk and Ray did and “abridge” your source text. I bet you can narrow it down to about 500 pages.

All you need is a good cover. Like Kirk and Ray behind Jesus, holding a baby dinosaur. Something cute.

Haha, excellent post; I love it. Their intro to “On the Origin of Species” was just sickening. It wouldn’t be so bad that they’re retarded, but they’re trying to influence people with lies and misrepresented facts. I’m trying to get people who go to these 50 select universities to take a copy, burn the pamphlet, and donate the book to somebody who could use a good education in evolutionary science (I’m looking at you, fundies!)

You should totally do this, and then post the intro here. People can print it up (10 pages is nothing) and staple it in the beginning of a free Bible you can get from just about anywhere. Even better, they can do this and then send the Bible back where it came from.
