I received a new (to me) approach toward the continuing attack on the Bible as the inerrant Word of God. It came from a thoughtful atheist who posed an excellent question. Summarizing his point…
“A BOOK WHICH SLANDERS GOD IS NOT LIKELY TO HAVE BEEN AUTHORED BY GOD. THE BIBLE HAS PASSAGES WHICH SLANDER GOD. THE GREATEST SLANDER OF ALL IS THE ASSERTION THAT GOD WILL TORTURE PEOPLE IN HELL FOR ETERNITY. NO DECENT HUMAN BEING (GIVEN GOD’S POWER) WOULD EVER DO THAT TO OTHER HUMAN BEINGS — WE WOULD THINK THEM A MONSTER IF THEY DID.”
