FacePalm of the Day - Edward T. Babinski: Things Christians Have Been Against

Edward Babinski has recently posted an article enumerating several things throughout history that Christians have railed against and different positions Christians have held throughout the past 2000 years. This post is mostly true! There is one thing missing. I'd like to ask how many of these positions were supported by a correct understanding of scripture?  Does the Bible really say that condoms are bad? Does it say that cats should be killed because they are agents of the devil? Does the Bible really condemn anesthesia? No? No, it doesn't. That is why you need to know what scripture says for yourself!

Edward T. Babinski: The Flat Earth Myth? It's true that Columbus and most Church Fathers were not flat earthers, but don't start cheering just yet. . .

I got a link to this post from John Loftus. The post is on Edward T. Babinski. I think that this article is important. However I disagree with Babinki's points being argued. It proves that many Christians throughout history, beyond any shadow of a doubt, believed in a flat earth in a geocentric universe. So what? They were fallible human beings that were wrong. What Babinski attempts to do is to suggest that those Jews and Christians who were flat earthers and geocentric in their cosmology because the Bibles gives a wrong description of the universe. He fails to show how the Bible messes up real cosmology - he merely kept stating it. I'm not going to go through stating the Bible verses that show the universe is not geocentric and that the earth is not flat because I have blogged them before as has many others showed this over and over for centuries!
