@Frank Apisa,
Quote:But your Bible says your god did it.
I don't think so. It has characters say God did it. Which allows the readers to make their own minds up whether God did it or whether it was a natural event which the characters were exploiting and possibly believed themselves. A prophet is not much different to a shaman.
Credulousness being a general characteristic of the population at the time and which would still obtain now if Christianity had not stepped in to lessen it and educate the masses.
That's a nice irony. That the incredulity Apisa attaches to the stories is a function of Christianity and impossible to imagine him having if he was in the station of life he is in now in a world as credulous as it was 3000--2000 years ago which there is no reason to suppose would not be the case had Christianity been crushed by its many enemies who were all fat cats.
But notice how if God didn't do "it", which, as an agnostic Apisa can't rule out, then He can't be held responsible for doing "it".
An atheist laying the blame on God for the horrible "its" is thus cheating and also assuming a dumb audience.
