And I am trying to show you by using an example.Is that what you thought I said.They are allegorical accounts.Heaven.
Back in the days before space flight, airplanes etc, they used to say that heaven was up in the clouds.
Then they went into space and found no heaven there. So they changed their story.
The Earth was made in 6 or 7 days and is only 6,000 years old.
Well, we have evidence that this isn't true.
Adam and Eve
We have evidence this isn't true.
We can start with these three.
Are these lies, or are they the truth?
Tell me, what do you think the Tower of Babel is about?
Ah, so the Bible isn't true then?
So, what about those people who say it IS true?
Fake news?
Do you understand what allegorical means?
Let's use the Tower of Babel as an example. What exactly do you think it means?
Yes, I'm asking YOU whether the Bible is therefore true or not. I mean, it should be a rhetorical question, shouldn't it, we know it's not actually true. But I need to hear it from you that it's not actually true before we can continue.
What do you think the Tower of babel is saying? Is what this account tells, true?
I understand what you're trying to do, and it's nice, but... it's not really the point of this, is it?
If I make a nice story about something, it's still a story, right?
The point of this thread is that religion spreads FAKE NEWS. Now, you might spread a story on CNN and it might have a nice moral to it, but that doesn't make it true. It'd still be fake, and it'd still cause the right wing crowd to shout FAKE NEWS.
The other problem comes that there are 2 billion Christians and the vast majority of them think the Bible is true. So, if someone tells people "the Bible is true", then it's fake news.

"In the answer by David R.

So, 53%, or the people believe the Bible is true. Fake news, huh?
