Criticism of the Bible - Collection 15 (Ethics & Morality)

Criticism of the Bible - Collection 15 (Ethics & Morality): One book of special interest in this collection is the one titled: " The Born Again Skeptic's Guide to the Bible", written by: Ruth Hurmence Green. The author was born and raised into a Methodist family. Late in her life she was hit with cancer. While recuperating from her illness, she started reading the Bible seriously. Two years later, she wrote this book, and announced here conversion to atheism. The book contains several Chapters that discuss ethics and morality of the Bible and of Judaism and Christianity. One tidbit about Mrs. Green: she used to believe that the great majority of the Christian community were Bible illiterates, and the best way to spread atheism was to make more people read the Bible!

to shitqoran:
moman73 has collected more than (2600) evidence against the Bible and Christianity. almost all of which were written by Western (non-Muslimg) writers. Many of them were prominent scholars, historians, scientist, ..
Writing a 2-line hate-comments against Islam and the Qur'an is not much of an evidence.
Mrs. Green's book is a solid case against the Bible and Christianity. No where in that book you find a mentioning to the Qur'an or Islam.
If you are an Islam hater, it will be more usefull to start a similar project like moman73 did,
start collecting evidence against Islam, and share it with us.

Very interesting! Thanks!
Some readers might be interested to track down a new book by the mainstream Christian theologian Miroslav Volf. The book is called Allah -- he argues fascinatingly that Christian faith is NOT incompatible with Islam. Needless to say, he is neither a Christian fundamentalist nor an atheist fundamentalist!
