Why are you a Christian if you don't believe the Bible?

I think most atheists simply don't feel they have any reason to believe the claims about supernatural things that the literature underpinning religions like yours ~ and that of the Muslims and the Jews ~ make. I don't think stuff like "Joshua's long day" and "Hezekiah" matter much. And neither do you, it seems.

I could be wrong, I suppose, but I think you are trying to attribute trivial textual concerns to JS357 so that you can then dismiss them rather easily. His lack of belief ~ as far as I know ~ comprises a much more profound gap between your perceptions and his. You can't tackle this with the constant sprinkling of little straw men upon that gap,

Do you have anything else to offer the community but repetition and depravity?

I also say "Shoots and Ladders" instead of saying $hit too for the same reason, and?

Depends on what parts, as some are very important and others not as.

'Depravity' according to your subjective opinion or according to some objective standard?

Not from me it isn't.
