hundreds of thousands of writing and reading iterations made by hundreds of thousands of human beings.
Consider the masterpieces that the shores of memory are capable of bringing forth for even a short period of less than fifty years. Now consider this, for centuries after centuries.
not an atheist btw.
in short, some form of holy spirit, if you may wish to call it something like that as an abstraction
More cooks in the kitchen equals better product?
this is an entirely wrong metaphor. I'm not talking about many people collaborating to write the same thing at the same time so they make a "better" product, I'm talking about generations after generations of men re-reading and re-writing a big, continuous, ever changing unitarian book. It is literally called "The Bible", as in the bibliotheque of humanity. It is the anthology of anthologies anon, it is almost impossible to not exist after a decent lapse of time.
Bugs are often capitivated by artificial light.
Ooooh, aaaah, the Torah is the most profound text that could ever exist, actually it transcends text, every consonant woven into the fabric of existence itself. Wait, never mind that, here's the new testament, it's even better, the Torah is old and busted. Uuuhhh actually the Quran is the one that's the perfect text, cannot ever truly be translated, not a single mistake introduced in oral transmission, if you don't know Arabic you should still listen to the audiobook. Whups, no, truth resides in this particular translation of the Bible. Yeah the one commissioned by that king, the gay one. Divinely inspired for sure. Stop it right there, don't listen to those posers, come over here to the east, Sanskrit is the most mathematically precise language ever to exist, all our old texts are basically computer programs,
it was the only thing to read back then

Because it is ancient israeli mythology that is the bedrock from which western civilization grew upon. You could argue that it's real author is the god of abraham, because his people created, developed, and documented these stories over thousands of years. There is no person responsible for the bible, it is a manifestation of the struggle of that people that transpired over millennia.
And on top of that it contains a lot of spiritual and philosophical wisdom
"I like this book, therefore it's correct"???
Y'all are actual children.
I'd honestly rather be around children than stuffy academics who enjoy the smell of their own flatulence any day.

> enjoy the smell of their own flatulence
You can't call me a redditor while simultaneously clapping back with the a reddit grade insult.
Hypocrites always win anyways. That's why the israelites play both sides so they always come out on top. Just like I'm gonna come on top of your mother.
who said "correct" moron
>if it's not the word of God
Implying there's a God, implying that the Bible is correct. Bring some basic literary comprehension to IQfy pls.
The pinnacle of slop. Go into any trailer park and there will be scores of trashy sloppers holding this on their worn out tables. The most common slop book for the most common people on earth, terrible literature wise along with the other slop books for morons that cannot think.
>why yes I think we should have no borders
>heavens no, those immigrants can find someplace else to live. My property values are at stake!
I'll start respecting atheists as soon as they publish a tome of their beliefs
>inb4 dawkins or Hitchens
Refutations of theism dont count.
Kinda hard to do that, pic related. (Unless you mean a physics textbook)
Well that's not MY problem
Why would anyone work for your respect?
It's so weird religion is still a thing, it's like watching grown men talk about gnomes and fairies with a serious face, I will never understand how people fall for it at all, I'm not even mad, it's just ludicrous and somewhat amusing.
Considering science has been used in the legalistic manner as religion was in the middle ages I'm not surprised in the slightest people are reverted back to it
And most people have an inborn knee jerk reaction to physically weak people with unearned intellectual arrogance. Who do you think comes to mind when those two descriptions are paired together?
>most captivating book ever written
It's mostly dull and uninspiring. I really cannot understand its appeal.
>the most captivating book ever written
Perhaps because it's NOT the most captivating book ever written?
