Why do you say 'cowardly'? Because I have no interest in debunking your favourite stories? You resort to insult because I choose not to ridicule the myths you hold so dear? Do you play the fool consciously, or is it just a habit you've fallen into?
"Oh please don't get me started . . ." is just a bluff.
Followed by argument from boredom.
And they are "my favorite stories" because the tell me the truth.
I can't get it from your atheist worldview.
The New Testament is a collection of historical documents written by
eye witnesses at a time when other eye witnesses were living to deny or confirm them.
This collection of historical documents also contains accounts of supernatural events which, key and vital ones were previously prophesied (supernaturally) that they would occur.
Generally, the Bible is a collection for 66 books authored over 1,500 years from
forty different authors in mainly three languages on three continents. And I can (if you cannot) see an unmistakable unity of theme maintained somehow.
The forty authors are very diverse:
A statesman,
a military general,
a priest,
a governor,
a shepherd and musician,
a king,
a sheep herder,
a farmer of trees,
a tax collector,
a medical physician,
an assistant to an evangelist,
an evangelist,
a fisherman,
a scholar
There is quite a variety of walks of life represented by the authors of this library.
I believe the book is God's speaking to mankind for sure.
