Wall Street Journal - ‘A History of the Bible’ Review: Scripture Under Scrutiny
"The trouble with the historical-critical method, if the reader will indulge this religious believer for a moment, is its rock-solid, unthinking presupposition against the possibility of the supernatural."
Supernatural miracles (for example the magical resurrection of a decomposing Jeebus) and supernatural gods are impossible. Pretending some event or thing is supernatural requires throwing out reality. The problem is reality can't be thrown out. If a supernatural fantasy (for example Mr. God, aka the Magic Man) makes some people feel good, reality doesn't care.
Supernatural nonsense has made 2,000 years of religious atrocities possible and the problem is getting worse. Enough is enough. It's about time for the human race to grow up and face facts. There are no supernatural god fairies and there is no supernatural 2nd life.
Growing up is easy. Just do it. Reality does not have to make you cry.

What I wrote made one of the Christian fucktards at the Wall Street Journal cry. The moron for Jeebus wrote this bullshit:
"And you know this . . . how? Why, by your rock-solid presupposition against the possibility of the supernatural. You've just led us in a circle."
What I wrote for the stupid fucking asshole:
Sir, I am 100% certain your magical supernatural fantasies are impossible. There is no magic in the universe. This is called reality. You can't throw out reality out. Any unbrainwashed child could figure this out. It's not rocket science.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
