    actually examining all the contradictions in this stuff is a great way to build critical thinking skills though but actually reading the bible is something most of the fundy types really have a hard time with, their religions as a whole have been built around unquestioning top-down pushed faith for so long that (ime) they almost seemed scared to actually think for themselves

      Of course they are, in the debate of skeptics vs. believers, the skeptics are right every time.

      Who wants to believe in a world with no magic? A world where there is no God to save the soul you don’t have?

      I don’t want to be an atheist, but I have no choice to be one, because I live in a materialist universe where magic doesn’t exist.
