Atheist Advocate (AA) (From Quora - Steve Ebling) "The bible is an ancient library of books (written over a span of 1000 years by different authors, in different times and places, with different theologies and conceptions of God) that repeat myths, legends, and stories that occur in a 'world' that does not exist. God is a mass-murdering bastard. The Genesis Creation Stories are asinine. The Bible does not know that Earth is a planet or that the universe exists. It requires Earth to be the center and essence of existence to operate. When we discovered the Universe in the 16th century, the Bible became instantly idiotic."

Confused Christian (CC): "Why did Jesus have to die on the cross for our sins to be forgiven (couldn’t God have just pardoned sins without a gruesome death involved)?"

Atheist Advocate (AA) (From Quora - Hilmar Zonneveld) "So, I have three problems with the Bible. In descending order of importance, that would be: 1. The Bible makes several claims that have never been demonstrated to be true.[(a) the claim that a god exists, and that YHWH is the “One True God”; (b) claims about the divinity of Jesus; (c) claims about an afterlife. 2. The enormous immorality of the Bible. (it tells you to execute people for various trivialities (being gay, working on a Saturday, praying to the “wrong” god); to kill your own child if it misbehaves; that slavery is acceptable; etc. 3. Internal contradictions, and contradictions with known science."
