Re: The Bible
I would have to agree on that Christianity is certainly more than the bible, there is no disputing this. In some ways I guess this is related to my point, that alot of people, both religious and non-religious hold arguments which display a very severe lack of biblical knowledge, which certainly doesn't help any 'discussion' along at all. Actually biased belief on 'what the bible is' is probably one of the biggest causes of heated unrest between christian and non-christian groups.
As an atheist I have been in several discussions about religion with many religious people, and mostly that is very interesting. But it gets exceptionally tedious if you happen to meet a religious individual with no true knowledge of his own belief. Just as I am sure it gets tedious for a religious man to argue with a non-believer someone who has very little knowledge about his religion.
