With or without the Bible the jurors would have made a decision based primarily on their worldview followed the weight of evidence. "But the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it (Deuteronomy 30:14)."

It was lost from the day the RCC accepted or posed the challenge.

Next thing you'll be telling us is something is made from nothing. I am unconvinced of your disbelief.

Crumb is not writing for the benefit of Christians, but for you and your peers; and to the offend religious folks for which I am of neither party. You don't understand the account of Lot and his daughter which caused them to ignorantly, immorally, and wrongfully get their father drunk and have incestous sex with him. Lot was a compromised, weak man of God and his daughter's were raised in an environment of solictous, sexual degradation of Sodom and Gomorah. As far as his daughters were concern they foolishly believed they were doing the right thing since their father failed to teach them the precepts of God. Their children bore the responsibility for their stupid, depraved decision, but in order to understand that you've got to get beyond the verses after they had sex with their father to see the results of their sinful, foolish decison. At least I see you agree Crumb's publication is pornography.

The Bible unequivocally reveals the evil which resides in the heart of all and exposes it and records in the historical texts of the Bible. Good lies in no one and athesit point this out better than all in their attacks on Christianity and religion. It is this exposure which self-righteous people respond with hate-filled rhetoric and pithy comments. People exposed to it respond with hate, denial, and rejection. Who wants their sin exposed? Finally, if God does not exist what is there to hate, deny and reject. The masses of ignorant Christians should be easily ignored, but the battle over people's souls still continues among the sheep and the goats.
