If you were much of a Bible reader, you would know that the first copy was written on stone by the finger of God.

Um, that would be the "ten commandments", dumbass.
What the fuck, bullshit is still bullshit.
And whose ass did you pull that one from?
I have read the bible, and no where does it claim this absurdity.
Did God use his right hand index finger? It's just as likely that he used his finger to pick his nose as well.
Anyway it was just the 10 commandments, so the story goes, which Moses broke in a rage, clumsy bastard.
Free Republic, why am I not surprised that someone over there puts idiotic bullshit in the Bible that's not there just to justify their bigotry? It just like them constantly putting bullshit in the Constitution that's not there to justify their facist opinions. The fact that these people appear to have never read either doesn't get in the way of their lying about what's in there to justify their hatreds and prejudices.
"When the LORD finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God."
-- Exodus 31:18
Unfortunately, editor-surveyor was talking about the Book of Genesis, not the Laws laid out in Exodus.
You god has been behind the tech curve, hasn't he?
More advanced civilizations had been using "paper" variants long before.
So - carved in stone, by god himself, the most important piece of writing ever, and can't be more than 6,000 years old - hm, it must be around here someplace . . . maybe with Bush's weapons of mass destruction...
Could you be anymore of a cunt to yourself?
Why doesn't he right down some more shit then? since there are so many unbelievers you'd think he'd be fingering stone slabs left right and centre!!! "I am the way, I am the waaaay"
How do you know it wasn't some old cave person writing a rule list for their young children????
Nope,
In fact the 10 commandments (common ones) weren't even written on stone.
First set - Actually the first ten laws of moses
Second set - Carved in stone by the hand of god, but Moses destroyed them and we're never told what they said
Third set - Moses carved the stones, different rules than what we commonly know, but they are the only rules listed as the 10 commandments.
@ Antichrist:
You got it. I find it positively hilarious that the only rules named as the Ten Commandments (Exodus 34:12-28) bear very little relation to the usual imprecations from Exodus 20... Besides, according to the Evangelists, Jesus himself only recognized six of them (Matthew 19:17-19, Mark 10:17-23).
Great weapons against Fundie delusions, no?..
"the first copy of the Bible was compiled at the council of Nicene, mostly by a show of hands"
now who's making it up????
Citation for this please? ;-)
Or maybe the Council of Nicea was just about Christology and not the canon of Scripture - which was never selected by a show of hands at any council....what do they teach non-fundies for history at school these days? ;-)
Lying for our side aint good either - even if it's someone else's lie just being repeated! LOL
Thankfully editor-surveyor is probably too dumb too notice the historical nonsense after what he takes as history without even a biblical claim....
"If you were much of a Bible reader, you would know that the first copy was written on stone by the finger of God."
...as opposed to, say, the Fickle Finger of Fate? 'Whoopeeeee!'

Sure, because, you know, in Babylon they could afford stones to write the Bible but not to build zigurats.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
