The Koran…. The Book of Mormon… aforementioned works of fiction..

He’s very funny but that picture makes him a bit too pasty looking for my taste.

Conspiracy theorists are among my least favorite segments of American society too, but it’s fun to blow their theories to bits with reason and common sense.

But I’m sure to start some trouble here by saying I believe parts of the Bible are probably fictional too and some stories are allegories, meant to teach a lesson on some greater truth. The Jonah and the Whale story and the whole “God created the world in 6 days then rested on the 7th” thing comes to mind. I never understood this one, not that He couldn’t do it in 6 days if you believe He is almighty, but why did he need to rest then? Are unions that powerful in Heaven too?

Chortle!

Real answer: the LORD didn't need to rest, but He did, as an example to us.

The fulfillment of numerous Biblical prophecies is powerful evidence for the Bible being the inspired word of God. No archaeological discovery has disproved a single thing in the Bible but numerous things have been confirmed by archaeology.
