David Fitzgerald’s hilarious Skepticon talk on sex and violence in the Bible is now on youtube! I especially like the “spiritual music” David plays around 15 minutes in.
Here’s an excerpt from a post on PZ Myers’ blog:
“Ken Ham has a new post up about how evil atheists really are.
It seems like atheists will go to pretty extreme lengths to combat the words of a God they don’t even believe exists.
“Uh-oh. What have we done now? Beheaded people? Tossed them in prison for believing? Stoned them to death? Persecuted people who don’t practice sex exactly as we do? Demanded legislation to allow us to demand that everyone use contraception?
“No. Worse.
A recent article from the Religion News Service reports, “Atheists use a popular Bible app to evangelize about unbelief.” The article contains interviews with a number of young atheists who have chosen to use YouVersion, one of the most popular apps around, as a way of trying to shake the faith of Christians.”
I once heard that Ellen Johnson, former director of American Atheists, encouraged people to read the bible as a way to gain new membership, since by her own experience it tended to make people atheists. Does it never cross Ken Ham’s mind that if he was right about the bible, it ought not be such a big inspiration of disbelief?
