I think it is time that certain people began to support their assertions about how reliable the history in the Bible actually is.
For example, we have jugs claiming that:
The bible is a historical document that's proven itself reliable for its historical value
Yet he has never once given an example of this alleged reliability!
Now don't get me wrong, I would argue that there is some real history in the Bible, but I would never claim that it proven itself reliable for its historical value when the fact of the matter is that almost every archaeological discovery has undermined the 'historical' narratives of the Bible.
Here's a wee challenge to anyone who maintains that the Bible is a reliable historical document, start at the begining of Genesis and work your way through the Bible and tick off just how many 'historical' events mentioned are supported (or even plausible) in an historical context.
Time to put up or shut up guys.
