- Hasn't the Bible been rewritten so many times that we can't trust it anymore...

- This article is so completely riddled with innaccuracies and misconceptions that it is a complete non-starter, beginning with how "the disciples of Jesus" wrote the Gospels and going on from there. I particularly lke the ridiculing of the "telephone" multiple translation of the text through various versions before it reached English, which is almost exactly true (oral tradition > Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek > LXX (Latin) > KJV > modern English translations). In fact, it is only very recently indeed that English translations of the bible have been made by translating from the "original texts" directly - in my experience, the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) is the most authoritative translation available in English, for what it's worth.

God obviously does not believe in putting full-stops at the end of His sentences.
- 14 Reasons to Stop Evangelizing Your Friends

- Goddamnit, "evangelise" (US: "evangelize") is NOT a transitive verb. One evangelises *to* one's friends. In the same way that one preaches *to* one's friends.
And while we're here, "protest" is not a transitive verb either. Just so you know. You protest *about* or *against* somebody. You don't protest somebody, despite what John Rambo thinks.
Apart from that, this article is great, but should be extended to include reasons not to evangelize to people who are not your friends either.

- HEAD UP ASS WARNING! Apart from the odds obviously being calculated by standing up, dropping trou, and pulling them out of one's butt, can anyone spot the flaw in this logic? Anybody?
"On the Origin of Species BY MEANS OF NATURAL SELECTION, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life" (emphasis mine). Natural selection is not random, people. Competetively advantageous traits are preserved, so it's not a case of suddenly finding a DNA molecule spontaneously occuring in a homogenous soup of organic chemicals, but one of incremental steps. If you trace back the "evolution" of DNA, you find progressively simpler replicators, until you are dealing with very basic chemical processes that even a fundamentalist Christian could understand.
@blondy269. Just for a moment assume that God, Jesus and the Nativity story were fictional stories dreamt up by poorly-educated manual labourers in an occupied country to help them deal with their oppression. Now consider the huge number of similarities between their stories and earlier ones from other cultures (eg. Utnapishtim vs Noah, Horus vs Jesus). Does it really make sense to believe that the earlier stories are false, but the later version is somehow true? Now, is it any more likely that Jesus was *really* born of a virgin than that Zoroaster was? And if so, why?
