Opposition to biblical anti-humanism Links to some videos imparting perspectives on the bible from a former fundamentalist christian (first eight videos), a philosopher who discusses the origin of the bible and religions (in brief -- one video), and a bible scholar who discusses his former devout chris- tianity and some of the problems with the bible (last two videos) ... - - - For a detailed skeptical view of the entire bible, see http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/ - - - An Honest Search for the Truth - Part 1 Slavery Enslaving human beings is wrong, so why does the Bible condone it? This video is the first of a series that will address inconsis- tencies & contradictions in the Bible that we studied and researched on our way out of organized religion. The videos will be derived from a document containing that body of research which was written to answer the many inquiries we knew we would have after our deconversion was made public. Being 3rd generation Christians, the flavor of which holds that the Bible is inerrant, divinely inspired, and literally interpreted, the extrication of our- selves from organized religion was not without exit wounds. Our hope is that this video series will help those Christians who have questions or may be "riding the fence" to allow rational discourse with regard to their religious beliefs. And that possibly, they can remove the thought constraints in- stalled by their respective religious beliefs. - - - An Honest Search for the Truth - Part 2 Old Testament Murder & Genocide (First Half) A look at the divinely directed murder and genocide in the Old Testament and whether it was right or wrong. - - - An Honest Search for the Truth - Part 2 Old Testament Murder & Genocide (Second Half) A look at the divinely directed murder and genocide in the Old Testament and whether it was right or wrong. - - - An Honest Search for the Truth - Part 3 The Value of a Woman A look at the Value of Women in the Bible (includes A a couple of brief comments on the religion of islam being based, regarding women, on the Old Testament). - - - An Honest Search for the Truth - Part 4 Does God Lie or Can He Be Involved with Deception A look at whether god can lie or be involved with deception. - - - An Honest Search for the Truth - Part 5 Can God Change His Mind?

Ehrman describes his former devout religious faith, juxtaposed against his reluctant discovery that the bible is not the 'word of God', and his religious faith was unjustified. - - - Dr Bart D Ehrman - Bible Scholar - The Truth about the Bible Professor Bart D. Ehrman discusses the errors that oc- curred in transcribing ancient biblical texts, either inten- tional errors due to the efforts of individuals to intention- ally alter the text, or errors due to ineptness or due to scribes being tired -- also noted, the fact that none of the original texts exist, and so all that remains are copies of copies of copies (etc.) transcribed over periods of hundreds of years or more. - - - |
