So the failure of scripture to describe anything accurately is obfuscated by assuming the conclusion with confirmation bias. Once again it is God who leads the unbelievers astray, and not their desire to understand the world as it is. And even though several of the world's richest and most successful, and even the most charitable people are unbelievers, they are still considered losers. Of course the Qur'an is wrong about all these things, and I'm glad to be back in a country where I am allowed to say that. But those are the sort of lies that religion needs to sell itself.

We can tell murder is wrong because we have objective criteria by which we can determine for certain whether murder is wrong, and we can do that regardless of what mood the gods are in nowadays. There has to be an objectively verifiable reason why something is moral or immoral, or else no one could know whether it is, including God, since the Bible has Him changing His mind all the time. Without that criteria, you couldn't know what is moral or immoral either; you just have to trust whatever the people said who pretended to speak for God.

If the Bible is interpreted literally, then it is clear that its authors believed that the world was a flat disc, which was originally said to be covered by a giant crystal dome. It was a common belief at the time in all the neighboring regions. But it was still wrong. The Biblical authors obviously knew nothing about the real state of this world nor the worlds beyond this one either. But we know what lies outside our atmosphere. And that proves that there is no water above where the firmament isn't, and no windows to let it drain in -if there was either water or firmament there.

Most Christians would say that evolution is one of God's creative methods. But creationists reject that possibility outright, because the issue for them is not whether their God is true; but whether their dogma is true. It can't be in any case. Even if current concepts of evolution were proven wrong tomorrow, Biblical creationism still couldn't be true either, because it has already been disproved many times, many ways, and collapses on its own lack of merit. But of course believers can never admit that.

Unsupported assertions of impossible absurdities are indistinguishable from the illusions of delusion, and no one should believe anything that requires faith. Because faith requires that we believe without question, without reservation, without reason. That is irrational, foolish; that's what a fool is. Your Bible got it wrong. Any assertion that requires faith should be rejected for that reason.

Creationist Christians think that if the Bible is wrong, then God lied. They cannot accept that God could exist but the Bible be wrong because they can't distinguish doctrine from deity. So it is a form of idolatry wherein the believers worship man-made compilations as though those books were God himself -because they think it is His word. But God never wrote or dictated any of the scriptures of any religion. Everything men chose to reject from or include in their supposedly unalterable word of whatever god was conceived, composed, compiled, translated, interpreted, edited, and often deliberately altered and enhanced by mere fallible men.

[Religion] is predominantly evil and entirely deceitful, has only negative correlations statistically, and is frequently maliciously abusive physically mentally and emotionally. It has historically always obstructed education and retarded or impeded progress in whatever application it has ever touched. All the worst atrocities in history were done in the name of religion and our greatest advances were made in opposition to it. I'm an antitheist because religion is factually historically ethically and morally wrong.

Do you think it inconsistent for someone who lacks belief in the stork to object when public schools teach middle schoolers that that's where babies come from? Likewise no history class should ever confuse students by playing any movie with Mel Gibson's name in the credits, because they're wrong, and it's wrong to mislead students. It would be inconsistent for one who loves and seeks knowledge of truth not to object to lies or challenge liars. Everything religion teaches is wrong. Although public schools are not teaching about the stork, some of them are teaching creationism, which is just as demonstrably absurdly wrong; In either case, it's a criminal immoral disservice, and should be corrected.

Each of my science books said, This is why we think this; this is how we figured it out; and this is what we still don't know. That I can trust. And it inspires me to contribute. Conversely, religious books claim to already know everything we'll ever need to know, even thought they never explained everything; and you're forbidden to question them. Instead, you should believe them without suspicion and simply because they said so (even when they have already been proven wrong). This is why the word 'confidence man' describes a criminal swindler. Such people should not be trusted. When is it ever wise to believe someone without question?
