You know...I really don't know what the purpose the podcast is - preaching to the choir? I don't know...uh, is anyone into "learning the bible"? Does Robert Price have hope of educating the ignorant masses about supernatural nonsense and ignorant superstition?
ReplyDeleteI guess someone has to try and explain it all but to me it's really simple - they made it up.
Yeah, okay. You might have the luxury of washing your hands of it, but like it or not the Bible is a cultural artifact that retains great power. Better to know something about its real origins and nature - rather than the common misinformation that parades as knowledge. Bob does a great job with the former.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with that, Gavin, especially that "great power" part. I guess that's why I blog and stuff. I know it doesn't do any good and makes no difference whatsoever but... and here's the thing: I tried. Course, I have a choice - I don't have to do it. I'm not sure Robert Price has that choice. I should be grateful, I suppose, to the Robert Prices and the Bart Ehrmans of the world - sure makes my part easier... at least we know where to look to check out their viewpoint.
