If someone is proposing a [scholarly] book about Christianity and denies that Jesus is the Christ, or denies that Jesus ever made the claim to be divine, I would put the book down and find another book.

Big surprise as putting books down is a Rapturites MO.
Here's a cute idea for you lot though: How about you read the book that made those claims in the first place? From beginning to end, in order, not hopping around as your churchs have trained you to do, not ignoring most the books within.
Then you could even try to show your fellow Rapturewaiters where the Fundie concept of the Rapture is in the Bible. Not one of you have managed that yet
Yeah, read your Bible, from cover to cover, please. The world will have more atheists afterwards.
I tried to read Leviticus once. It was the most boring thing I have ever read, even the phone book is more interesting than that repetitive drivel.
"or denies that Jesus ever made the claim to be divine"
I don't know about a scholarly book, but I know the Bible makes no mention of Jesus claiming he was divine. Or perhaps I am mistaken in thinking that that was only decided long after his supposed death?
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are all forgeries.
Jesus never existed.
And seeker42 is an idiot.
Dear Fundies,
Please take note of the fact that you do not have to believe everything you read in a book or see on a screen. It is entirely possible for normal human beings to read or see or hear something, think about it and then decide to disagree with it. In fact, this progress helps to test the truth of one’s opinion and to redefine them.
It is similar to this “fiction” thing we keep on telling you about and you always get wrong.
If you have to put on blinders and stick your fingers in your ears to keep your faith, your faith is woefully weak.
Best regards
“… I would put the book down and find another book.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
