Heard on a radio broadcast this morning: "The Bible was written before the foundation of the world". More specifically, the speaker identified this eternal Bible as the King James Version.

That's the first time I've ever heard this, but it does confirm my suspicion that fundamentalists are guilty of bibliolatry. They worship it. This is just incredible! No wonder people scoff at Christianity--myself included.

Deus ex machina

The ultimate cop-out. Invoking an unprovable, metaphysical reality (God) to explain empirical realities is a desperate attempt to salvage and justify religious belief in an era when we have outgrown it. There is no such thing as--nor a need for--'Christian science'.
