Sceptic’s Annotated Bible

The word of God can often be confusing. And sometimes we forget that maybe the good book wasn’t narrated by a genious, but rather put together by pure chance – that somehow a lot of old Jewish texts got mixed together and incidentally ended up being the non-questionable manifest of the worlds biggest religion. But to handle all this: The Sceptic’s Annotated Bible – The whole book with comments, and make no mistake. Some of the critisism is very rough, but it really shows why we shouldn’t just go “hey… this verse is the key to a better understanding of life”. Here’s a hillarious example from Corinthians I:

1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
1:15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
1:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

“I know not whether I baptized any other.”
Poor Paul is confused. First he says that he baptized no one. Well, except for Crispus and Gaius. And maybe Stephanus and his household. He can’t remember if he did it to anyone else.

I may have just saved the Encarta Intant AnswersÂ® from the claws of evil:

(14:46:20) Ben Jao Ming: You are a Microsoft property
(14:46:21) EncartaÂ® Instant Answers: Isn’t it good to be a Microsoft property?
(14:46:30) Ben Jao Ming: No
(14:46:31) EncartaÂ® Instant Answers: OK, fine.

Notice how it has a trademark symbol in its screen name… that so c00l!
