FacePalm of the Day #44 - Debunking Christianity: My Goal is to Drive a Wedge Between the Brain of the Believer and The Bible

Here is a quote from John Loftus.

I just wanted to throw this out there in a post all its own. I aim to show there is nothing divinely inspired inside the pages of the canonized set of texts that were written by some ancient agency detecting barbaric superstitious people. If I succeed then what could the believer still believe? In any case, this is my niche. I'm arguing a negative case against Christianity because I know it best. Along with it I'm offering a good rational tool in the Outsider Test for Faith to examine all religions by the same standard.

He can't succeed.Christianity is more than a "canonized set of texts that were written by some ancient agency detecting barbaric superstitious people". He hasn't proven that and in fact no one has. I find it profoundly arrogant to refer to the writers of the Bible as "barbaric" or "superstitious" - inferring that people are better today somehow. More power to him. The more he speaks against the truth the easier it is to proclaim Christ,

⁷ Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not so that people will see that we have stood the test but so that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed. ⁸ For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. ⁹ We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is that you may be fully restored.- 2 Corinthians 13:7-9

Thank you, Mr. Loftus.
