The Birth Of Christianity And The Telephone Game

"When @ColdCaseChristianity 's J Warner Wallace pitched his pet Q-source theory to @MelissaDougherty , his apologetic and gimmick commitment to the gospels as eye-witness testimony caused him to demonstrate the ways the gospels are more-likely to NOT be testimony."

Christian apologists attempt to support their religious beliefs by looking at history but fail terribly. Click on the link below for a debunking of the reliability of the Bible, and Christianity in general, through the analogy of the Telephone Game:

Biblical Interpretation

Given the wide differences of opinion of members of Abrahamic religions and biblical scholars regarding how to interprete the writings found in the Bible, one may legitimately conclude that the Bible is the greatest Ink Blot (Rorschach) Test in human history. After the dawn of science, many religious people began having cognitive dissonance between the findings of science and Biblical writings. (link)

The Book of Genesis in particular presents major problems in its relationship to reality as found through science.  It clearly conforms to the genre of a Creation Myth produced when there was no science and superstitious myths were the only ways of attempting to explain the unexplainable. In other words, I think it was not written as a metaphor but as history, albeit, a false account. The Bible was most probably only created by the imagination of humans. (link)

The Bible As Objective Truth?

"Social improvement comes from society. We used to chop off hands for stealing, we used to burn witches, and we used to enslave people. It’s not thanks to the Bible (which doesn’t change) but to society (which does) that we’ve put that behind us. 'Public pressure' isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and we must weigh the consensus of our community to test our own moral opinions."

The Bible Is An Ink Blot

"Someone determined to hold onto their presuppositions ride in a self-sealing ideological lifeboat, but they’ve also insulated themselves against any information showing their initial views to be wrong. This is not someone following the evidence."

Bible Interpretation? It Works Like the Paul-is-Dead Rumor.

Oh, for those who think that the Bible is "The Good Book" and the Quran is a bad book, this will give you pause.
