I hate relgious programs on the history channel!

So last night I was getting ready for bed when the show "Books banned from the Bible" came on the history channel. I'm tired of this focus on books that "should" be in the Bible that are not. The books they discussed were OBVIOUSLY not canonical for reasons that I thought would be self explanatory (I have read every book they mentioned in this

But people love hearsay.

The History channel isn't an authority on Scripture, for sure. I remember their general books of the Bible program, which speculated that the "Q" source was accurate but we don't have it...

i've noticed that in any discussion involving religion/christianity/bible, people will decide what they believe first and then find some "evidence" to back it up... come to think of it, everyone does this when talking about global warming, evolution, homosexuality... ok, i give up, people just suck in general.

I agree with you. And it's equally so on both sides. [Some] Christians think atheist are dumba$$es because they don't believe in God. [Some] Atheists think the same of Christians because they do believe. I think the problem is no one is willing to explore the options, or give the other side a open unbiased chance to explain. They make up their minds before it even starts thus rendering all discussion null and void because people are too close minded to think or listen.

hey when're you leaving campus?
