RC - if a book from the Automotive Section suggests that my car’s repair parts were spontaneously created by an invisible being then I’d probably move them to the fiction section, too. The “religion” section is, like most things related to religion, giving a pass to ridiculous ideas simply because some looney claimed God did it, and a bunch of similir loonies believed him. We atheists don’t draw those lines, and so we make fun of alllll ideas that are silly– like virgin births, talking donkeys, stuff like that.

So does this mean that the Bible will now be in the fiction section at the book store?

As opposed to the religious section? I’ve never understood this line of reasoning. Should we move the automotive section to the art section because there’s a half naked woman on the cover?

New syllogism that might help to clear this up:

(Tongue firmly in cheek, so I need no help noticing logical flaws.)

Given: Truth is finite, bullshit is infinite.

Bullshit is infinite
God is alleged to be infinite

Therefore (mathematically) God = bullshit

IF the bible is the word of God, AND IF God = bullshit, THEN the bible is the word of bullshit, or the verbal expression of bullshit.

Seems simple enough… and a lot more logical than virgin progeny or about a million other bizarre statements in that book.
