Not another "here is a cute video thread"!

To whom are you addressing your thoughts here?

Because you are your own god, and you say it is.

Why the Bible is highly imaginative like any other book of action stories:

Mother Goose
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Superman
Batman
Barney the Dinosaur
Casper the Friendly Ghost
The Iliad
The Odyssey
Shrek
The Hobbit
Harry Potter
Homer Simpson

etc.

we can't say BS?

Why not? There's a user with the name "Imbatshitcrazy"

I had never heard of Appolonius of Tyana before

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollonius_of_Tyana

It doesn't say here that he was crucified.

http://www.answers.com/topic/apollonius-of-tyana

He apparently lived to be about 100, when he was whisked into Heaven, rather like Enoch.

Also, his mom wasn't a virgin, and he doesn't seem to be offering eternal life to anybody.

So, there doesn't seem to be much point in worshipping him, if his mom wasn't a virgin and if he isn't offering eternal life.

Examine the thread head.

Examine a plurality of posts.

Compare.

How best to explain this phenomenon [34 points]?

It's a weak video.

A strong Christian apologist can easily debunk some of the claims made in the video without sounding like a dumbass.

The video is too biased to be good to learn from.

I can't be arsed watching a video.

I agree that the Bible is BS though, I mean that much is pretty obvious

It is too out-of-date. That's not to say that ALL old works of fiction are BS, far from it

When I first lived in London, my landlady - and SHE was a piece of work, let me tell you - one day said to me, figuring of COURSE I would agree, that in her opinion all that old stuff, Westminster Abbey, Tower of London, Houses of Parliament, etc. should just be torn down because they were just old and out of date.

Right - find all the copies of Homer and Chaucer and Shakespeare and Goethe, all the Hebrew and Classical Greek and Latin and Sanskrit and Egyptian and Sumerian and Old English, and get the music - Bach, Beethover, Chopin, Elvis.

Don't trust any book over 30 - it is not current.

Hey I'm in no way against old stuff I graduate in a few months (hopefully lol) with a degree in history and I collect old books (and other random old stuff)

I do however think the out-of-date argument holds true in the case of the bible though because of how it is being used now. There aren't shedloads of people all over the world living their lives by The Iliad in the way they are the Bible. What I mean is, you can't really look to the Old Testament for guidance on how to live your life in the 21st century.
