re: #103 calochortus

I think the question is whether people will simply continue to believe every word is true despite it being disproved. Confirmation bias is a powerful force.

Without the inerrancy, it would be hard to come up with a compelling reason for Biblical law.

Which biblical law? The is over 600 laws in Deuteronomy, many dealing with cultural motifs which would make no sense in a modern culture. Then again, there are certain laws which are very humanistic, and would certainly fall with in the standards of human rights.

Throwing out the bible with the bath water just because the book can be proven to be compiled of some history, myth and magical thinking doesn’t make all of the tenets in the scripture invalid.

I don’t agree with your statement above.
