"...Read it because we need more atheists and nothing will get you there faster then reading the damn bible." That is fact.

In other news: The sky is up, water is wet, and that dark thing down there is a hole in the ground.
I thought there were parts of the Bible you held in regard. No?
Sure there are. But the Bible as some sort of infallible work of history? No. That's what Penn and Teller are going after--the inconsistencies and contradictions. There is no contradiction or inconsistency, for example, in the message of Jesus, right up to the point where he is killed. That's where the trouble begins.
The odds of just 8 of the Messianic prophecies of the Bible being fulfilled by chance in the life of Jesus have been conservatively calculated as 1 in 100 quadrillion.
Jesus fulfilled 108 Messianic prophecies.
