Could you expand upon what you think he says here that is clueless about the bible?
Obviously Terry, or anyone else who doesn't believe in god, is clueless because he doesn't know how to properly pick and choose and selectively re-interpret the Bible to delude himself to believe in it. Because the Bible can't possibly be wrong, only our understanding of it.
Universe created in 7 days? Oh it's only a metaphor.
Fit all the species on a wooden boat? The boat was probably magical.
Explain how you should buy slaves? Oh God's probably just joking around.
Forbidden to eat shellfish? Yeah I'm not going to follow that one.
My favorite is the parts about selling your daughter off into slavery. Going to keep that one handy in case my daughter disobeys me.
On a serious note, I've never read his books. What's a good place to start?


The simple answer, spoco2, (so I don't waste my entire day trying to argue this stuff on here, the home of devout anti-christian fanatics) is that anyone who reads God as a maniac from the old testament just hasn't paid attention, stumbling at one of the most basic theological understandings. In other words, it's just plain missing the boat. It's like watching the first 30 seconds of a movie and trying to explain everything about it. People who do that are called idiots, and people who do the same with the bible get a similar title. It's just dumb, no matter which way you slice it, because you're obviously going to get stuff wrong. I don't expect everyone to decide on Christianity when reading the bible, but I expected more from Terry.

Mentality, your statement about selling daughters off into slavery is a great example of this. I'm mean really, if I have to explain that one to someone, they may as well permanently stamp an idiot tattoo to their forehead, it's so incredibly easy to understand, especially when it's spelt out in the equivalent of bright neon lights throughout the new testament.

The title, the euro redneck tag, the video... everything about this is so funny! It's like when you see a frickin' tricked-out, 15 year-old HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK that is lowered and complete w/ rims, painted on flames down the side, neon lights around the license plate and -get this- an effin' spoiler on the back. A SPOILER. Might as well put on a big flashing sign that says "Please ridicule my douchiness!"

"[McCain] puts himself first in blinking neon lights."

McCain wants to be the first to blink neon lights? I dungeddit.

My pleasure.

"The (unfortunately, largely forgotten and still extremely under-appreciated) Serbian inventor, genius, and true scientist Dr. Nikola Tesla invented the fluorescent light bulb (as well as Neon lighting and several other lighting inventions). At the time, his invention was largely ignored. In fact his fluorescent light bulbs were vastly superior than the ones we have now: they were far more energy efficient due to the lack of ballast transformers and capacitors, they needed no starter capacitor, and lasted literally forever as there was no filament necessary and nothing was consumed. Tesla is however better known for his monumental invention of AC current generators, motors and energy transmission systems - which to this day still power the entire civilized world in exactly the same way. As with almost all Tesla's inventions, his fluorescent bulb was brilliant in its simplicity, durability and efficiency, as well as easy to produce. Tesla also invented numerous improvements on the common (and extremely inefficient) incandescent light bulb for which Edison commonly is credited, although even that is disputed - Edison clearly could not stand in the shadow of the likes of Tesla and Edison is known to have shrewdly taken credit for many inventions he in fact did not produce himself."

Kinda makes you think doesnt it?

Wish my house had neon lights lining the walls...
