The Bible does seem to contain some facts, as there is independent confirmation of Pontius Pilate and Herod, as an example.
Still . . . this seems to be a thin excuse to justify the belief in a supernatural resurrection, and a religion that justifies homophobia, violence against women, endless wars, slavery, and so on.
Also, I have a philosophical issue with something being used to prove itself . . . although there may be a flaw with my reasoning. By this, I mean if something is flawed, then using it as a standard to quantify itself may lead to a flawed results. So, how can we know if something is flawed unless we use a standard outside of the thing in question?
The Bible has very, very little–if any–evidence outside of itself that we can use for independent confirmation of many of its key points.
So, we are only left with an assumption that The Bible is unflawed . . . which means–as always–believers must fall back on faith.
So, we are expected to believe in The Bible’s perfection while overlooking its internal contradictions, which means that we have little to no external confirmation . . . and lots of internal contradictions within its pages.
And for this book we should kill each other? We should restrict women’s rights? Not use birth control?
For myself, I like to believe that I’m not that stupid and/or gullible.
