Maybe someday, you'll bother to crack one open.
At that point you will see how stupid the book is.
If you're as stupid as you seem, you'll continue to believe the lies.

Yeah, like the way Judas died by hanging himself in one place and by falling headlong and bursting open in another place. That's some complex stuff there - dying twice by two different ways.
The bible might be a book way to complex for a human 3000 years ago to compose correctly without containing any errors.
And this is why there are the errors we find.
For example the 4 legged insects, the rabbits that chew the cud, an ark that according to every modern knowledge in ship building with the imensions mentiond within the bible wouldn´t be stable enough to be seaworthy and would also have a problem with ventilation (meaning that during the long journey very probably all inhabitants would die of CO2 poisoning).
And because the bible is a collection of stories from many many authors we also find things that contradict each others, for example 2 diferent stories of creation or 2 genealogies of Jesus.
Matthew 11:12-14 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard him say it.
Yep! Way too wise for a human to have thought that one up. I am humbled by the wisdom.

I'm sure Fek'lhr(sp?) will back me up when I say that the bible was much more complex and far wiser in the original Klingon.
The bible is what happened when someone ran the Klingon text through Babelfish.
Yeah....no. In fact, I would dare say that Christianity has the least "wisdom" of any religion that exists today (save, of course, Scientology). But, that is my opinion. Just like your view that it could not be written by men is your (stupid) opinion.
No, but it is not too complex for a ROBOT to compose. Do you think I'm a stupid? God built a robot to do stuff for 't cause it saves some time and effort. SOOOOhh somewhere on the earth is a ROBOT that updates the BIEble whenever it doesn't match those fact things or whatever but it takes a couple of generations so GOD's robot it actually running the SHOW! Are youah robot?
"Complex" in this case means confused.
Since too many people had a hand in writing the bible, it contains no inner coherence. The problem first manifests itself in Moses' and Aaron's different versions of the creation myth.
If you can call that "wise", you are ignorant and gullible, and your standards are much too low for real life.
I thought that DC's Kingdom Come series was very well-written and complex, and held a wise warning. But that doesn't mean that it was Really Divinely Inspired and that Mark Waid and Alex Ross are the new twenty-first-century prophets. They're just good writers who wrote a fascinating and groundbreaking book about superheroes using the Book of Revelation as a backdrop (and it came out as fucking awesome, too).
Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment, for it is an old one you have always had, right from the beginning. This commandment to love one another is the same message you heard before. Yet it is also new. (1 John 2:7-8 NLT)
That is some awesome wisdom right there!
Well, no, not just "a person" composed it, it was more about 40 people. Of course, I wouldn't call any of them very wise considering the number of inconsistencies, including those inside the same book!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
