The Bible speaks of actual real places, so therefore you conclude:
So Ireland isn't an actual place? as if he'd said the Bible speaks of ALL actual real places, and you think that's an intelligent remark? It's unbelievably stoopid and as so many such comments are here, time-wasting. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

At least she made me laugh.

She is using the ideas in the book to support the contention that the book makes sense. I could state such a case better if I had more time, but im running around this morning. I always have time for coffee at the library in Saskatchewan, however. Be there in a few (and I'll bring spare change for the crew! )

We could make the same argument for Treasure Island or Harry Potter. Unless you have independent corroborating evidence you have no evidence. A thing can not be used to corroborate itself.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

So books about leprechauns refer to Ireland?? I'm assuming your point is that since it references an actual place it must be just as valid as the bible. The books on leprechauns were written to Irish people. It's part of their folklore. Its assumed the audience is from a real location. You cannot stretch the analogy further than that.

Leprechauns are Irish. It was sarcasm to try and make you think about the absurdity of trying to use "actual places" in the bible as corroborating evidence for the bible, but it went right over your head.

Yeah it went over my head too. The leprechaun llne is just too silly. But the Bible is full of history and geography and that does give it authenticity whether you llke it or not which of course you don't because llke most others here you have to destroy Christianity. Which will destroy western civilization too, but that's OK as well I guess.

The Bible is full of fables and fictions and very very little history. There's no evidence of the Exodus or Conquest of Canaan or Jesus or the destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah or just about every so called historical event in the Bible. About the only actual history in the Bible might be the destruction of the Temple.

The bible is fiction, as imaginary as Santa Claus. Grow up.
