God needs no defense. We don’t have to prove anything, all of creation testifies of Him all by itself.

You’re wrong there, my friend.

Every advance in the human condition comes with testing theories, rejecting the ones that are proven wrong, and advancing confidently with that hasn’t been disproven.

Meanwhile, we’re all supposed to believe so fiercely in a text that was written two thousand years ago by men who had comparatively less knowledge about the world around them than todays middle schoolers…men for whom a wheelbarrow would have been a major technological advancement, men who mostly didn't even personally witness what they wrote about…that book cannot be questioned?

Every other aspect of life and the universe around us has to be proven while we smugly sit back and just without question accept as complete and accurate this one book?

The only way the Bible makes any sense at all is if we gloss over certain realities while reading it. Deuteronomy teaches you to kill me for what I’ve just written here. Are you going to act on that or accept the reality that this would just not be acceptable in 2024? If the latter, aren’t you sinning in that decision?
