religious bible-thumpers would sing a completely different song if they did three, simple things:
- read the bible*
- read the skeptic's annotated bible (SAB) by steve wells
- watch "how jesus became god" (on amazon prime, netflix, etc.) with bart d. ehrman, a biblical scholar who is a professor at the university of north carolina.
note: #1 & #2 (above) can be done simultaneously, as the SAB contains the KJV (King James Version) of the bible, and provides commentary on it.
* no. i mean really, really read the bible.
bonus: conduct 10 minutes of research (or google) any of the following:
- images: original bible transcripts
- virgin births throughout history (i'd call it his-story)
- who really authored the bible, and when?
- don't just cherry pick (based upon your own, pre-existing beliefs).
- really, really inquire.
